LeMieux Arika Mesh Brushing Boots - Juniper

These brushing boots are primarily designed for protection during ridden work. While they offer durability, they are not intended for turnout in rough pasture or stable environments, which can lead to premature wear or damage.

Refer to the sizing guide provided by LeMieux. Generally, measure the circumference of the cannon bone and consult the chart. Ensure a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Yes, brushing boots are typically used on the front legs for protection against brushing injuries. However, they can also be used on the hind legs if the horse has a tendency to interfere or strike.

The Juniper color is often part of LeMieux's seasonal collections, designed to be 'matchy-matchy' with other accessories and apparel in the same color family.

Neoprene-free means the boots do not contain neoprene, a synthetic rubber material that can sometimes cause heat buildup or skin reactions in sensitive horses. This makes the boots a better option for horses with sensitivities to neoprene.

It is recommended to wash the boots as needed, typically after several uses or when they become visibly dirty or sweaty. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and performance.

Ensure the hook and loop straps are fastened securely and evenly. Check that the leg is clean and dry before application. Ensure correct sizing for the horse's leg.

Verify that the boots are not too tight. Ensure the leg is clean and free from debris. Check the friction-free edge binding for any damage. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a veterinarian or equine professional.

Ensure boots are cleaned regularly to prevent dirt buildup which can retain moisture. Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Ensure the washing machine cycle was not too harsh and did not leave excessive detergent residue.
