Protect your horse’s most vital assets with a professional-grade shield that combines elite impact resistance with luxurious, rub-free comfort. Engineered for the competitive show jumper, these boots ensure peak performance by keeping tendons cool and protected during every landing and turn.

Crafted by Shires, the ARMA Carbon SupaFleece Tendon Boots represent the pinnacle of equine leg protection, utilizing a sophisticated triple-layer defense system. The rugged, carbon-effect TPU outer shell is designed to deflect high-velocity strikes, while the innovative honeycomb foam core absorbs and dissipates shock before it reaches the leg. By integrating high-performance materials with a breathable synthetic sheepskin, Shires has created a boot that offers the technical precision required for the arena with the soft, moisture-wicking touch your horse deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why are these boots better for my horse's tendons than traditional fleece boots?
A: Unlike standard boots that can trap heat, the ARMA Carbon boots feature integrated mesh vents and breathable SupaFleece. This combination ensures that even with the added cushioning, air continues to circulate, which is critical for maintaining healthy tendon temperatures during work.

Q: Are the pin fastenings better than Velcro?
A: Yes, many professional riders prefer pin fastenings because they offer a more "set" tension that won't slip or become weighed down by arena sand or moisture, ensuring the boots stay exactly where you placed them from start to finish.

Q: How do I determine if my horse needs a Cob or Full size?
A: Sizing is generally based on height and "bone" (the circumference of the leg). Cob typically fits horses 14.2hh to 15.2hh, while Full is designed for horses 15.2hh and up; however, if your horse has particularly fine or heavy legs, you may want to size up or down accordingly.
