FAQs

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

These boots are ideal for everyday use, including schooling, hacking, and lunging. They provide general protection against brushing and minor impacts.

How do I ensure I have the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by the manufacturer, if available, or measure your horse's lower leg circumference. The boots should fit snugly around the cannon bone and fetlock without being too tight.

Can these boots be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these boots. Hand washing with cool water and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the material's integrity.

Are these boots suitable for turnout?

These boots are designed for ridden or lunged work and are not recommended for turnout, as continuous wear can impede breathability and may lead to rubbing or discomfort. They are also more prone to damage from grazing or rolling.

What is the purpose of the extra-sized strike pad?

The extra-sized strike pad is designed to provide enhanced protection to the cannon bone area, particularly beneficial for horses that tend to brush their hind legs against their front legs or vice versa.

How often should I check the boots for wear and tear?

It is advisable to inspect the boots regularly, especially the touch tape fastenings and the neoprene material, for any signs of damage, wear, or loss of elasticity before each use.

Can I use these boots if my horse has sensitive skin?

The soft material binding is designed for comfort, but if your horse has particularly sensitive skin, monitor closely for any signs of irritation. Ensure the boots are clean and not overtightened.

Troubleshooting

Boots appear to be slipping down the leg.

Ensure the legs are clean and dry before application. Check that the touch tape fastenings are secured tightly and evenly. The fit may be too loose; consider if a different size is needed.

Chafing or rubbing observed on the horse's legs.

Verify that the soft material binding is positioned correctly and not folded. Ensure the boots are not overtightened. Clean the inside of the boots to remove any trapped debris that could cause irritation.

Touch tape fasteners are not sticking well.

Clean the hook and loop sections of the touch tape thoroughly with a brush to remove mud, hair, and dirt. Avoid using harsh detergents. If the adhesion is permanently compromised, the boots may need replacing.

Neoprene is losing its shape or flexibility.

Ensure the boots are not being stored under heavy objects and are allowed to air dry completely after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme heat during drying or storage.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.

Cons

  • Neoprene requires careful cleaning to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before application. Wrap the boots around the lower leg, ensuring the strike pad is positioned correctly on the cannon bone. Secure the touch tape fastenings firmly but not so tightly as to restrict circulation. The boots should fit snugly without any gaps.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on most horses for everyday activities such as schooling, hacking, and lunging. They are designed to protect the lower leg, including the cannon bone and fetlock area.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe away any loose dirt or mud with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash with cool water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry completely on a flat surface or a boot rack. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the neoprene.
  3. Fastening Care: Ensure the touch tape fasteners are clean and free of debris to maintain their effectiveness. Brush off any dirt or hair from the hook and loop sections.
