FAQs
Can these boots be used on both the front and hind legs?
These boots are typically designed for general brushing purposes; however, always ensure the size is appropriate for the specific limb and check for proper coverage.
Are these boots suitable for sensitive-skinned horses?
Yes, the soft faux fur lining is specifically included to reduce friction and minimize the risk of rubs, making them a great choice for sensitive horses.
Do I need to wash them separately?
It is recommended to wash them with like-colored items or inside a laundry bag to protect the fastenings and your washing machine drum.
What is the best way to determine the correct size?
Measure the length of your horse's cannon bone and refer to the provided size variants (S, M, L, XL) to ensure the boot offers proper coverage of the fetlock without being too long.
Are they waterproof?
While the exterior is durable and water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and may absorb water if submerged in deep mud or puddles.
How often should I clean the boots?
To prevent bacterial build-up and maintain the integrity of the faux fur, clean them as soon as they become heavily soiled with mud or sweat.
Troubleshooting
Fasteners not sticking securely
Remove trapped hair and debris from the hook side of the touch-close fastener using a small brush or comb.
Boots sliding down the leg
Check that the boots are sized correctly for your horse and ensure the straps are secured firmly enough to maintain tension.
Faux fur looks matted after washing
Once dry, gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled grooming brush to fluff the fibers back into place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior shock absorption for impact protection
- Soft faux fur lining prevents skin irritation and rubs
- Anatomical shape ensures a non-slip, secure fit
- Wide 5cm fasteners make application and removal quick and easy
- Machine washable for simple care and maintenance
Cons
- Touch-close fasteners can lose efficiency if hair/dirt accumulates
- Faux fur may take longer to dry after washing
- Limited to one color option (Gold)
- Not intended for heavy-duty cross-country or water hazards
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, position the boot on the cannon bone so the widest part of the anatomy sits comfortably over the fetlock joint. Tighten the 5cm touch-close straps until firm, but not so tight that they restrict circulation or the horse's range of motion.
Care Instructions:
- Always close the touch-close fasteners before placing the boots into the washing machine to prevent snagging and protect the hooks.
- Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a delicate cycle.
- The boots are dryer-safe, though air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the faux fur fibers.
- Regularly brush out the faux fur to remove loose hair and dirt, ensuring the material remains soft for the next use.
