FAQs

What type of horse activities are these boots best suited for?

These boots are ideal for intense work, including show jumping, cross-country, and rigorous training sessions where leg protection from impacts and knocks is necessary.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Weatherbeeta. Measure your horse's leg circumference at the designated points. Ensure the boot covers the cannon bone and fetlock appropriately without restricting movement.

Can these boots be used in wet conditions?

Yes, the materials are designed to withstand typical equestrian conditions. However, it's crucial to clean and dry them thoroughly after use in wet conditions to maintain their integrity and prevent skin irritation.

Are these boots suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

The soft neoprene lining is designed for comfort and to prevent rubbing. However, always monitor your horse for any signs of irritation and ensure the boots are clean and fitted correctly.

How long do these boots typically last?

With proper care and regular use, the boots are designed for durability. Lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as adherence to care instructions. Minor cosmetic wear is normal.

Do the open front boots offer any support for existing injuries?

While they offer protection from impacts, their primary design is for impact defense rather than therapeutic support for pre-existing injuries. For specific therapeutic needs, consult with a veterinarian or equine therapist.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg.

Ensure the touch tape fastenings are securely tightened. Check that the horse's legs are clean and dry before application. Verify that the correct size boot is being used and that it is positioned properly on the leg.

Horse appears uncomfortable or is rubbing.

Check the fit; the boots may be too tight or too loose. Ensure the neoprene lining is clean and free of debris. Consider if the boot style is appropriate for your horse's specific leg conformation and workload. Consult a professional if discomfort persists.

Visible wear and tear on the TPU shell.

Minor scuffs are normal with use and do not typically affect performance. If the structural integrity of the TPU shell is compromised (e.g., deep cracks), the boots should be replaced to ensure adequate protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable protection for horse's legs.
  • Comfortable lining to prevent chafing.
  • Secure fit that doesn't slip.
  • Allows for a good range of motion.
  • Suitable for both training and competition.

Cons

  • May require careful fitting to ensure optimal support.
  • TPU shell could be less breathable in very hot conditions.
  • Primarily focused on impact protection, less on support for existing injuries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the boots are the correct size for your horse. Clean the horse's legs before application to prevent dirt from causing irritation. Apply the boots by wrapping them around the lower leg, ensuring the fetlock area is correctly positioned within the open front. Secure the double touch tape fastenings firmly but without over-tightening, which could restrict circulation. The fit should be snug enough to prevent movement but allow for comfortable flexion.

Compatibility: These boots are designed for general equestrian use and are compatible with most horses participating in disciplines requiring leg protection. They are intended for use during ridden work and training sessions.

Care: After each use, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For a more thorough clean, hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the boots to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials.
