FAQs

What type of riding are these boots best suited for?

These boots are ideal for everyday riding, schooling, turnout, and light hacking where general protection against brushing and minor knocks is needed.

Are these boots suitable for show jumping or cross-country?

While they offer basic protection, they may not provide the advanced support and impact resistance required for high-impact disciplines like show jumping or cross-country. For those activities, consider boots specifically designed for such purposes.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your horse's cannon bone. Refer to the product's sizing chart if available, or choose a size that allows for a snug fit without being constrictive.

Can these boots be used on all four legs?

Yes, brushing boots are typically designed to be used on both front and hind legs to protect against brushing injuries.

How often should I clean the boots?

It's recommended to clean off loose dirt after each use. A more thorough wipe-down can be done as needed, ensuring they are completely dry before the next use.

What is the main benefit of the extra-sized strike pad?

The extra-sized strike pad offers enhanced protection to the vulnerable lower part of the horse's leg, guarding against direct impact from the opposite hoof.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg.

Ensure the touch tape is fastened securely and that the leg is clean and dry before application. Check that the size is appropriate for the horse's leg.

Horse seems uncomfortable or has rubs.

Check that the boots are not too tight. Ensure the soft material binding is sitting correctly and not digging in. Allow the horse to get used to wearing them gradually.

Touch tape losing grip.

Clean the touch tape regularly by brushing away debris. Ensure the boot is dry before application. If grip is severely diminished, consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective lightweight protection for everyday riding.
  • Easy and quick to put on and take off.
  • Comfortable binding reduces the risk of rubs.
  • Durable construction for regular use.
  • Good value for general purpose boot.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient protection for extreme disciplines.
  • Neoprene material can retain heat.
  • Touch tape may lose effectiveness over extended, heavy use.
  • Limited adjustability compared to more technical boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Simply wrap them around the horse's cannon bone and fetlock area, ensuring the strike pad is positioned correctly on the lower leg. Secure the touch tape straps firmly but without overtightening, ensuring a snug fit that does not restrict movement or cause discomfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for most horse leg conformations for everyday riding and turnout. They are designed to work with standard horse tack and equipment.

Care:

  1. After use, brush off any loose dirt or mud.
  2. If necessary, wipe down with a damp cloth.
  3. Allow boots to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  4. Fasten touch tapes loosely during cleaning to prevent them from sticking to the boot material.
