FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all horse breeds?

Yes, the boots are designed to fit a range of horses. Proper sizing based on leg measurements is important for optimal fit and comfort.

Can these boots be worn in wet conditions?

The boots are made from breathable mesh and are designed to wick moisture. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect their drying time and effectiveness.

How often should I wash the boots?

It is recommended to brush off dirt and sweat after each use. Machine wash as needed, typically when they appear visibly dirty or start to retain odors, following the 30°C guideline.

What is the best way to store the boots when not in use?

Store them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Can these boots be used for protection against mud or stable bots?

While their primary purpose is protection against flies and midges, the durable mesh offers some barrier against minor irritants. However, they are not designed for heavy-duty impact or mud protection.

Do I need to order a specific size for front vs. hind legs?

The boots are designed to be versatile and can be used on both front and hind legs. Ensure you select the correct size based on your horse's leg measurements.

Troubleshooting

Boots appear to be slipping down.

Ensure all fasteners are securely closed and that the boots are the correct size for your horse. A proper fit around the cannon bone and fetlock area is crucial.

Horse seems uncomfortable or boots are rubbing.

Check the fit; the boots should be snug but not tight. Ensure no dried mud or debris is caught in the fasteners. Clean the boots regularly as per care instructions.

Reduced protection effectiveness.

Check the boots for wear and tear. Ensure all parts of the leg are covered and that the mesh is not clogged with debris. Clean the boots thoroughly.
