FAQs
What is the primary function of these boots?
The primary function is to protect the horse's tendons from knocks and impacts during training and competition.
Are these boots suitable for turnout?
These boots are designed for ridden work, training, and competition. They are not intended for continuous turnout.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Weatherbeeta or consult with a tack retailer to measure your horse's leg and ensure a proper fit.
Can these boots be used on hind legs?
These are specifically designed as open front boots for the *front* legs. Protection for hind legs may require different types of boots.
How often should I clean the boots?
It is recommended to brush off dirt after each use and clean with a damp cloth as needed. Deeper cleaning should be done periodically to maintain the lining and outer shell.
What is the benefit of the neoprene lining?
The soft neoprene lining provides cushioning and comfort, preventing chafing and irritation against the horse's skin, even during long periods of wear.
Will these boots restrict my horse's movement?
No, they are designed to support performance by offering protection without compromising the horse's natural freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping down the leg
Ensure the touch tape fastenings are secured tightly and evenly. Check that the horse's leg is clean and dry before application. Consider if the boot size is appropriate for the leg circumference.
Horse seems uncomfortable or irritated
Ensure the boots are not applied too tightly. Clean the inside lining regularly to remove any debris that could cause rubbing. Verify that the boot size is correct and not pinching.
Visible wear and tear on the TPU shell
Minor scuffs are normal and indicate the boot is performing its protective function. However, if the shell is significantly cracked or damaged, it is recommended to replace the boots to ensure continued protection.
