Refer to the LeMieux sizing guide, which typically provides measurements based on the height and circumference of the horse's leg. Measure your horse's legs to ensure a proper fit.
Yes, the oiled leather offers some protection. However, prolonged exposure to water can saturate the materials. Always allow the boots to dry thoroughly after use in wet conditions and recondition the leather as needed.
While designed for ridden work, they can be used for turnout if there is a specific risk of brushing. For general turnout, more robust boots might be considered. Always ensure they are removed and checked after turnout.
Condition the leather every 4-6 weeks, or more frequently if the boots are used daily or exposed to harsh conditions, to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and neoprene lining. Cleaning should be done by hand as per the care instructions.
The neoprene lining provides a soft, comfortable cushion against the horse's leg and aids in breathability and moisture wicking, helping to keep the leg cool and dry.
These boots are designed to protect against brushing and minor knocks. For protection against significant kicks, heavier-duty boots with more substantial padding would be required.
Ensure the straps are securely fastened and adjusted for a snug fit. Check that the horse's legs are clean and dry, as moisture or dirt can reduce grip.
Re-adjust the straps to ensure they are not too tight. Verify that the correct size has been selected and that there are no creases in the lining. Ensure the leather binding is smooth against the skin.
The boots require conditioning. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm to restore suppleness. Follow up with regular conditioning as part of the care routine.
Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a stiff brush to remove any debris. If the fasteners are significantly worn, they may need replacement.
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.
