FAQs
How do I clean the LeMieux WrapRound Over Reach Boots?
The boots are machine washable on a low heat (30 degrees Celsius) using a washing tablet. It's advisable to use a laundry bag and ensure all velcro is attached before washing. Always air dry away from heat sources.
Are these boots suitable for turnout?
These boots are primarily designed for schooling, warm-up, and travel, offering protection during specific activities. They are not recommended for prolonged turnout as they may not withstand constant wear and tear from grazing or rolling.
What is the purpose of the merino lambskin collar?
The soft merino lambskin collar is designed to provide cushioning and comfort around the horse's pastern and fetlock area, helping to prevent rubbing and irritation.
How do I know if I've fitted the boots correctly?
The boots should fit snugly but not tightly. You should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the boot straps and the horse's leg. Ensure the collar sits smoothly without bunching.
Can I wash the boots with detergent?
Yes, you can use a standard washing tablet or capsule. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the materials and affect the performance of the lambskin.
How often should I check the boots for wear and tear?
It's recommended to inspect the boots regularly, especially the straps and velcro, for any signs of damage or excessive wear before each use to ensure continued safety and effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Boots appear to be rubbing the horse's legs.
Check that the boots are the correct size and have been fitted properly. Ensure the straps are not too tight and that the merino lambskin collar is sitting smoothly without bunching. Allow the horse a short period to acclimatize to wearing them.
Velcro closures are losing their grip.
Ensure the velcro is clean and free of debris. Brush off any dirt or hair. If the velcro is significantly worn, consider replacing the boots.
Boots are difficult to secure tightly.
Verify that the straps are correctly aligned and that the double lock feature is engaged properly. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing a secure closure.
