FAQs

What makes Kevlar beneficial in these boots?

Kevlar is an exceptionally strong synthetic fiber, significantly stronger than steel by weight. Its inclusion in the strike pad provides superior resistance to abrasion, cuts, and impacts, greatly enhancing the boots' protective capabilities against knocks and overreaching.

How do the 'no-turn' features work?

The boots incorporate a specially designed soft nodule. When fitted correctly, this nodule interacts with the horse's leg anatomy to prevent the boot from rotating or spinning around the leg during movement, ensuring consistent protection.

Can these boots be used for all equestrian disciplines?

Yes, the Premier Equine Kevlar No-Turn Over Reach Boots are designed for suitability across all equestrian disciplines, including jumping, eventing, dressage, and general riding, providing robust protection where needed.

Are these boots sold individually or in pairs?

These boots are sold in pairs, providing protection for two legs. If protection is needed for all four legs, two pairs will need to be purchased.

How should I clean the microfiber leather outer?

The microfiber leather outer can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly and air-dried away from direct heat.

What is the purpose of the ultra-shock lining?

The ultra-shock lining is positioned inside the boot to absorb and dissipate impact energy. This provides an additional layer of defense against concussion and shock that might otherwise be transferred to the horse's lower leg bones and tendons.

Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these boots. Hand washing with lukewarm water and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and lifespan of the materials and construction.

Troubleshooting

Boots appear to be spinning or turning.

Ensure the 'no-turn' nodule is correctly positioned on the inside of the leg. Check that the straps are secured firmly and evenly. Verify that the boot size is appropriate for the horse's leg; an ill-fitting boot may rotate.

Boots are difficult to fasten securely.

Make sure the hook-and-loop straps are clean and free from debris. Ensure you are using the high-density double locking system correctly. If straps are showing signs of wear, consider replacement.

Horse seems uncomfortable or shows signs of rubbing.

Check the fit – the boots should be snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. Ensure the legs are clean and free of grit before application. Inspect the inner lining for any damage or irregularities. Consider a different size if the issue persists.

Boots have sustained minor damage to the Kevlar.

Minor scuffs are normal and do not necessarily impact performance. However, if the Kevlar is significantly torn or compromised, the protective integrity may be reduced, and the boots should be retired.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against overreaching and strikes due to Kevlar and shock-absorbing lining.
  • The no-turn design ensures boots stay in place, offering consistent protection.
  • Durable construction with microfiber leather and high-density straps for longevity.
  • Easy and quick to fit, making them practical for training and competition.
  • Suitable for all equestrian disciplines, offering versatile leg protection.

Cons

  • Requires correct sizing and fitting to ensure effectiveness and prevent rubbing.
  • May require regular cleaning to maintain optimal performance and appearance.
  • Kevlar, while strong, can be damaged by extremely sharp impacts.
  • Sold in pairs, meaning separate purchases are needed for all four legs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots are designed for a straightforward application. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before fitting. Place the boot around the lower leg, ensuring the strike pad is positioned on the inside where overreaching is most likely. Secure the high-density double locking straps firmly but comfortably, ensuring the boot does not impede circulation or movement. The 'no-turn' nodule should naturally sit to prevent rotation.

Compatibility: The Premier Equine Kevlar No-Turn Over Reach Boots are suitable for use with horses across all equestrian disciplines, from general riding to high-level competition. They are designed to be worn on both front and hind legs, though typically used on the hind legs to protect against overreaching from the front legs. They can be used in conjunction with other leg protection like brushing boots or eventing boots for comprehensive support.

Care Instructions:

  1. Initial Cleaning: After use, remove dried mud, sweat, and hair with a soft brush.
  2. Washing: Hand wash the boots using lukewarm water and a mild soap or boot cleaner. Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store the boots in the provided reusable zippered storage bag to keep them clean and protected when not in use. This also helps maintain their shape.
