Product Information

Full details

The Waldhausen Esperia Tendon Boots are designed for horse owners and riders who need reliable, everyday leg protection during schooling or flatwork. These boots offer the critical benefit of an impact-proof outer shell paired with shock-absorbing padding to minimize the risk of tendon injuries. While they provide excellent durability and a secure fit, owners should note that these boots are specifically engineered for the horse's front legs and should not be used as a substitute for hind boots or support wraps.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these boots on the hind legs?

No, these boots are anatomically shaped specifically for the front legs.

Are these boots waterproof?

The materials are water-resistant and easy to clean, but they are not designed to be submerged for long periods.

How do I choose the right size?

Select the size (Pony, Cob, or Full) that matches your horse's breed and leg measurement to ensure the shell covers the target area without overlapping.

Can these be machine washed?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the shape of the shell and the longevity of the elastic straps.

Will these boots cause the horse to overheat?

The padding is designed for shock absorption, but like all closed-front boots, you should remove them immediately after the training session to allow the leg to cool.

Troubleshooting

The boots slide down during work.

Ensure the hair on the horse's leg is clean and dry, then tighten the elastic straps slightly. If the problem persists, check if the straps have lost elasticity.

The touch tape fasteners are not holding.

Remove trapped hair and debris from the hook-and-loop material using a stiff brush or a specialized cleaning tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, impact-resistant outer casing
  • Soft, shock-absorbing inner lining for comfort
  • Easy-to-use touch tape fasteners for quick adjustments
  • Reliable, non-slip fit during movement
  • Suitable for daily training routines

Cons

  • Designed for front legs only
  • Limited color options (Black only)
  • Not intended for turnout or long-term wear
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain strap grip

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, place the boot so that the hard shell covers the back of the cannon bone and the inner tendon area. Fasten the touch tape straps firmly enough that the boot does not rotate, but ensure you can still comfortably fit a finger between the strap and the leg to prevent restriction of circulation.

Care Instructions:

  • Brush off dried mud and hair after every use to maintain the integrity of the touch tape.
  • Hand wash with mild soap and cool water when necessary.
  • Allow to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct heat sources, as extreme heat may damage the shell or elastic tension.
  • Regularly inspect the fasteners for accumulated debris that may reduce their grip strength.
