Product Information

Full details

The Arma Touch Close Over Reach Boots are designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection for their horse's fetlocks and hoof area during turnout, lunging, or light exercise. These boots provide a crucial barrier against scuffs, over-reach injuries, and accidental blows, featuring durable 6mm rubber construction. While they offer excellent impact resistance, users should note that consistent monitoring is necessary to ensure proper fit and to prevent debris buildup underneath the material during extended wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these boots be worn 24/7?

It is generally recommended to remove over-reach boots at least once a day to check the horse's skin for signs of rubbing or moisture accumulation.

Are these boots waterproof?

Yes, they are made from rubber and do not absorb water, making them ideal for muddy or wet turnout conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your horse's pastern and refer to the sizing chart; ensure the boot is long enough to cover the heel bulbs.

Can I machine wash these?

No, hand washing with a hose or a bucket of water and a soft brush is the safest way to clean rubber boots.

Do these help with existing over-reach injuries?

These boots are preventative. If your horse has an active wound, consult your veterinarian before covering the area.

Will the red color fade?

Prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight may cause minor color fading over time, but the structural integrity of the rubber remains.

Troubleshooting

Boot spins around the pastern

The fastener may be too loose; adjust the touch-close strap to ensure a tighter, more secure grip.

Visible scuff marks on the boots

This is normal and indicates the boots are doing their job; wipe clean to check if the rubber integrity is still intact.

Debris getting trapped inside

Check the fit to ensure the bottom edge isn't too flared; remove and rinse the boots daily to prevent friction-based sores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 6mm thick rubber offers high impact resistance
  • Easy-to-use touch close fastenings ensure a secure fit
  • Protects against common over-reach injuries during turnout
  • Rubber-covered closures maintain a clean and professional look
  • Lightweight enough for daily use

Cons

  • Rubber may cause rubbing if left on for excessively long periods
  • Requires regular inspection to ensure debris hasn't trapped inside
  • Not suitable for horses with known severe rubber allergies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply the boots, open the touch-close fasteners and wrap the boot around the pastern, ensuring the overlap is facing the outside of the horse's leg to prevent accidental opening. The fastener should be snug enough to prevent the boot from spinning, but loose enough to avoid restriction. For care, simply hose off mud and debris after each use. If the boots become heavily soiled, use a soft brush and mild equine-safe detergent. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the rubber to become brittle or crack over time.
