The main purpose is to protect the horse's legs, particularly the pastern and heel area, from being struck by the hind shoe during movement, which is known as overreaching.
These boots are available in various sizes, making them suitable for a range of horse breeds and sizes. It is crucial to select the correct size for proper fit and function.
While primarily designed for hind legs where overreaching is more common, they can be used on front legs if a horse tends to overreach with its front legs.
It is advisable to check the security of the fastenings and the position of the boots periodically during ridden exercise, especially when first introducing them or during strenuous activities.
The neoprene lining and collar provide cushioning and comfort, helping to prevent rubbing and chafing on the horse's skin during prolonged wear.
Clean with a damp cloth or brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely away from direct heat.
Yes, they are designed to be extremely durable and suitable for both exercise and turnout, providing robust protection in various conditions.
Check that the touch tape fastenings are securely overlapped and firmly attached. Ensure the size is appropriate; a boot that is too large may slip. Make sure the leg is clean and dry before application.
Verify the boot size is correct and not too tight. Ensure the neoprene collar is positioned correctly and not digging in. Clean the inside of the boot and the horse's leg to remove any grit or sweat that could cause friction. Allow the horse to wear them for shorter periods initially.
Clean the touch tape surfaces gently with a brush to remove dirt and hair. Ensure the tapes are fully dry before refastening. If grip remains poor, the fastenings may be worn out.
Confirm the boots are applied correctly and positioned to cover the necessary area. Ensure the boots are not damaged or worn out. Re-evaluate if the horse's overreaching is beyond the coverage provided by this specific boot type.
