Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Simply ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before application. Wrap the boots around the cannon bone and secure the elasticated hook and loop straps, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The straps should be firm enough to prevent movement but not so tight as to restrict circulation.
Compatibility: LeMieux Capella Leather Brushing Boots are generally compatible with most horse breeds and leg conformations. They are intended for use during ridden work and turnout where brushing is a risk.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the oiled leather, regular cleaning is essential. Wipe away dirt and sweat with a damp cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Condition the leather periodically with a quality leather balm or conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Avoid excessive soaking and allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
