Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Air-Tek Grafter Brushing Boots are designed for riders who need reliable, everyday leg protection during schooling, flatwork, and jumping sessions. They offer a significant advantage through their perforated neoprene construction, which promotes superior airflow to keep a horse's legs cooler during intense exercise compared to standard boots. While they are highly versatile and durable, users should note that they are intended for daily training rather than high-level competition or turnout, as their primary focus is on brushing and impact protection during active work.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots suitable for turnout?
These boots are designed primarily for schooling and exercise. They are not recommended for long-term turnout as they may collect debris or cause overheating if left on for many hours.
Can I use these on both front and hind legs?
Yes, the LeMieux Air-Tek Grafter Brushing Boots are designed as a versatile, interchangeable product that fits both front and hind legs.
How do I know which size to pick?
LeMieux sizing typically follows standard horse anatomy. It is recommended to measure the circumference of the cannon bone to ensure a correct, snug fit.
Are these machine washable?
While they can handle occasional machine washing on a cool, gentle cycle inside a wash bag, hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the strike guard and fastenings.
Do these provide support for the tendons?
These are primarily brushing boots meant for impact protection against scrapes and knocks, rather than providing significant medical tendon support.
Troubleshooting
Boots sliding down during exercise
Ensure the hair is brushed clear of the leg before fitting and check that the fasteners are securely tightened without being restrictive.
Hook-and-loop straps losing adhesion
Check the straps for hair and debris buildup; use a small brush or a cleaning tool to clear the hooks and restore a strong connection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent breathability due to air-tech design
- Durable strike guard for effective impact protection
- Interchangeable design for front and hind legs
- Comfortable soft binding to reduce friction
- Lightweight for improved performance during schooling
Cons
- Not intended for long-term turnout usage
- Standard brushing protection, not heavy-duty cross-country protection
- Hook-and-loop closures require regular cleaning to maintain grip
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure the boots are placed on the leg with the strike guard facing towards the inside of the leg. Wrap them snugly but avoid overtightening, as this can restrict circulation. The hook-and-loop fasteners should be aligned evenly to ensure a full surface connection for maximum hold.
Care instructions: To maintain the breathability of the perforated neoprene, brush off dried mud after every use. If the boots become saturated, wash them by hand in cool water with a mild, non-biological soap. Always close the hook-and-loop fasteners before washing to prevent them from gathering debris. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the synthetic materials over time.
