FAQs
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure your horse's leg circumference at the point where the boot will sit, and refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart.
Can I use these boots for turnout?
While these boots provide protection, they are primarily designed for riding activities, not for turnout. They may not withstand the wear and tear of turnout conditions.
What is the lifespan of these boots?
The lifespan depends on usage and care. Regularly inspect the boots for wear and replace them as needed.
How often should I clean the boots?
Clean the boots after each use, especially if they are exposed to mud or dirt.
Are these boots suitable for sensitive-skinned horses?
The neoprene lining is designed for breathability and comfort, but if your horse has sensitive skin, monitor for any signs of irritation and discontinue use if necessary.
What are the ventilation holes for?
The ventilation holes are designed to allow air circulation, preventing the horse's legs from overheating during exercise.
Can I use these boots with other leg protection?
Yes, but ensure a proper fit to avoid pressure points or discomfort. Avoid combining with boots that could cause overheating.
Troubleshooting
Boots are too loose and slip down.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and tighten the fasteners appropriately.
Boots are causing rubs or irritation.
Check the fit, and ensure there is no debris trapped inside the boot. If irritation continues, discontinue use and consult with a veterinarian.
Fasteners are not staying secured.
Check the elasticity and replace the fasteners if they are worn or damaged.
