Shires ARMA OXI-ZONE Tendon Boots - High Performance Breathable Horse Leg Protection

Protect your horse’s most vital tendons with the ultimate fusion of high-impact defense and advanced 360° cooling technology. Engineered for the competitive athlete, ARMA OXI-ZONE Tendon Boots ensure peak performance by preventing heat buildup while shielding against the hardest strikes during show jumping and high-intensity training.

Crafted by Shires, these boots redefine leg protection through a sophisticated multi-layered system designed for the modern equestrian. The "FlexFit" TPU molded outer shell provides a rugged, flexible barrier against knocks, while the interior utilizes "Air Motion" 3D mesh and zonal EVA foam to create a breathable, shock-absorbing environment that keeps legs cool and comfortable even during the most demanding stadium phases or grid work sessions.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 360° Ventilation & Cooling: Features directional outer shell venting and "Air Motion" 3D mesh that actively dissipates heat and moisture to prevent dangerous tendon overheating.
• 4D Impact Protection: Uses a "FlexFit" TPU molded outer shell combined with zonal EVA foam and TPG perforated foam to absorb and neutralize shocks from strikes and knocks.
• Pierce-Proof Metal Mesh: The ventilation channels are lined with a fine metal mesh to prevent sharp debris or jump splinters from penetrating the boot and injuring the leg.
• Open-Front Performance: Designed specifically for show jumping to protect the tendons from overreaches while allowing the horse to feel the pole, encouraging cleaner jumping.
• Height-Based Sizing: Available in Cob (14.2hh–15.1hh), Full (15.2hh–16.2hh), and Extra Full (16.3hh+) for a precise, contoured fit.
• Optimized for Discipline: The ideal choice for show jumping, intense schooling, and the stadium phase of eventing where minimal weight and maximum breathability are required.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if I should size up for my horse?
A: While sizing is based on height, if your horse has "good bone" (thicker cannon bones or joints) and is on the border between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure a secure and comfortable wrap.

Q: Can these boots be used on all four legs?
A: These are specialized "Tendon" boots designed specifically for the front legs. To provide matching protection for the hind legs, look for the ARMA OXI-ZONE Fetlock or Brushing variants.
