FAQs
Are these boots suitable for jumping?
The Mini Grafter Brushing Boots offer good protection against brushing and minor impacts, making them suitable for general schooling and lower-level jumping. For high-impact disciplines or horses requiring significant support, specialized jumping boots may be more appropriate.
Can I use these boots for turnout?
Yes, the durable and protective nature of these boots makes them suitable for turnout, helping to prevent scuffs and minor injuries.
How do I clean the hook and loop fasteners?
You can gently brush the hook and loop fasteners with a stiff brush or use a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, ensuring they maintain their grip.
What is the difference between front and hind boot application?
These boots are designed to be universal and can be applied to either front or hind legs. The key is to ensure the reinforced strike guard is placed on the inside of the leg where brushing is most likely to occur.
How many boots come in a pair?
The product is sold in pairs, meaning you receive two boots per purchase. If you need boots for all four legs, you will need to purchase two pairs.
What material are the boots made from?
The boots are made from a lightweight, breathable fabric with a reinforced strike guard for protection.
What color are these specific boots?
These specific boots are in the Rosemary Green colorway.
Troubleshooting
Boots are not staying secure.
Ensure the leg is clean and dry before application. Tighten the hook and loop straps firmly, ensuring they adhere completely. Check for any debris on the straps or boot material that might be preventing a secure closure.
Horse seems uncomfortable in the boots.
Verify that the boots are not too tight. There should be enough room for two fingers between the boot and the horse's leg at the top. Ensure the strike guard is positioned correctly on the inside of the leg.
Fabric appears worn or damaged.
Inspect the boots regularly for signs of wear. If significant damage to the fabric or strike guard occurs, discontinue use to prevent further injury or loss of protection.
