FAQs
Can I leave these boots on for turnout?
While durable, these boots are primarily designed for active work. Extended wear during turnout is not recommended as it may trap moisture or cause rubbing.
Are these boots suitable for cross-country?
These are primarily brushing boots for arena or flatwork. For high-impact cross-country, specialized eventing boots with additional strike protection are recommended.
How do I know what size to get?
Measure the height of the horse's cannon bone and the circumference to compare against the manufacturer's sizing chart provided on the product packaging.
Can they be tumble dried?
No, you should always air-dry these boots away from direct heat to prevent damage to the PU shell and the inner lining.
Do I need to buy different sizes for front and hind legs?
Generally, horses require a larger size for hind legs than for front legs. Check the fit on your specific horse as sizes may vary.
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping during exercise
Ensure the hair is clean and the straps are fastened snugly. If slipping persists, check that the boot size matches your horse's cannon bone circumference.
Build-up of grit inside the lining
Remove the boots immediately after riding and rinse the inner lining with water to prevent the abrasive grit from causing sores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fit, position the boot so the strike pad is centered on the inside of the cannon bone. Fasten the straps securely but avoid overtightening, as this can restrict blood flow. These boots are compatible with most horses and can be used on either front or hind legs.
For care, remove loose dirt after every use with a soft brush. If the boots become muddy, wash them in a machine at a low temperature (30 degrees Celsius) using a non-biological detergent. Always secure the hook-and-loop fasteners before washing to prevent snagging and air-dry them away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the shell.
