FAQs
Are these boots suitable for jumping?
Yes, they provide impact protection suitable for daily training and schooling, including light jumping.
Can I use these for turn-out?
These are designed as professional training boots and are intended for supervised exercise rather than long-term turnout.
How do I choose the correct size?
Consult the manufacturer sizing guide based on your horse's breed and leg circumference; the Cob, Full, and Extra Full variants offer tailored fit options.
Are these boots waterproof?
They are designed to be breathable and quick-drying, but they are not fully waterproof, allowing moisture to escape during exercise.
How many boots come in a pack?
The boots are sold in pairs (two boots per order).
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping during exercise
Ensure the boot is positioned correctly and tighten the elasticated straps to the next pin setting for a more secure fit.
Excessive heat build-up
Verify that the perforations are not clogged with dirt; clean the outer shell and mesh lining to restore airflow.
Fasteners becoming stiff
Clean the pins and straps with warm water to remove grit and salt buildup that may cause friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, place the boot against the horse's cannon bone, ensuring the ergonomic curve follows the natural anatomy of the leg. Secure the elasticated straps using the pin fastenings, checking that they are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation.
Care instructions include:
- After use, brush off dried mud or debris to maintain airflow through the mesh.
- Hand wash periodically with mild, equine-safe soap.
- Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the neoprene.
- Regularly inspect the pin fasteners and elastic straps for signs of wear to ensure continued security.
