Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these boots?

The Weatherbeeta Tough-Tec Prime Open Front Boots are designed to protect your horse's front legs, specifically the tendons, from impacts and knocks during training and competition.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

Ensure the horse's leg is clean and dry. Wrap the boot around the leg and secure the double touch-tape straps firmly but comfortably. There should be no pinching, and the boot should not impede movement.

Can these boots be used on hind legs?

These boots are specifically designed for front leg protection. For hind leg protection, different types of boots or bandages are typically recommended.

How often should I clean the boots?

It is recommended to wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each use. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then air dry.

What makes the neoprene lining beneficial?

The soft neoprene lining is designed to provide a comfortable, chafe-free experience for your horse, even during extended wear, preventing irritation.

Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?

The boots offer protection in various conditions. However, the neoprene lining might retain more heat than mesh alternatives, which could be a consideration in very hot climates.

What is the TPU outer shell made of?

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. It is a durable and resilient material chosen for its ability to shield against impacts without being overly rigid.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg

Ensure the touch-tape fastenings are securely tightened and that the horse's leg is clean and dry before application. Check that the correct size has been selected.

Rub marks or irritation on the horse's leg

Verify that the boots are not too tight. Ensure the neoprene lining is clean and free of debris. Consider if the horse's leg shape is fully compatible with the boot's design.

Touch-tape fastenings not sticking well

Clean the touch-tape surfaces with a stiff brush or by rinsing under cool water to remove dirt and hair. Ensure the straps are fully dry before reapplication.

Cracking or damage to the TPU shell

Inspect the boots regularly. If significant cracking occurs, the protective integrity may be compromised, and replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the horse's leg is clean and dry.
  2. Position the boot around the front leg, ensuring the protective TPU shell covers the tendon area.
  3. Secure the double touch-tape fastenings, starting with the lower strap and then the upper strap, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The boot should not restrict movement or cause pinching.

  • These boots are designed for use on horses during training and competition.
