Classic Equine ProTech Splint Pad and Tendon Guard Horse Boots - Neoprene Impact Protection - Multiple Sizes

Give your horse elite-level protection against crossfire injuries and external strikes without the restrictive bulk of a traditional sports medicine boot. These high-performance boots are engineered to safeguard the splint bone and tendon area, ensuring your horse stays sound and confident during high-intensity training or competition.

Crafted for the demanding Western performance athlete, the Classic Equine ProTech features a sophisticated triple-layer construction that balances rugged durability with advanced thermal management. By utilizing perforated neoprene, these boots allow trapped heat to escape while absorbing significant shock, providing a "work-to-show" solution that is tough enough for the roping pen yet refined enough for the show ring.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Targeted Impact Protection: Strategically placed hard-shell pads shield the inner splint bone, fetlock, and tendon area from strikes caused by the horse's own hooves or external obstacles.
• Triple-Layer Construction: Features a rugged nylon outer layer for abrasion resistance, a perforated neoprene middle for shock absorption and cooling, and a soft jersey lining for maximum comfort.
• Ergonomic Contoured Fit: Specifically shaped to follow the natural curve of the horse’s leg, ensuring the boots stay securely in place during lateral movements without spinning or slipping.
• Debris-Blocking Bound Edges: Finished with a soft binding that prevents arena grit and dirt from entering the boot, significantly reducing the risk of skin irritation and boot rubs.
• Precision Sizing Options: Available in Small (7 ¼" – 7 ¾" cannon bone), Medium (7 ¾" – 8 ¼"), and Large (8 ¼" – 8 ¾") to provide a custom-like fit for horses of all builds.
• Quick Hook-and-Loop Closure: The secure Velcro system offers a fast, reliable application that is far more efficient and consistent than traditional polo wraps.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I determine the correct size for my horse?
A: Measure the circumference of the cannon bone midway between the knee and the fetlock. Small fits 7 ¼" – 7 ¾" (under 900 lbs), Medium fits 7 ¾" – 8 ¼" (900–1,100 lbs), and Large fits 8 ¼" – 8 ¾" (over 1,100 lbs). Generally, if your horse wears a Medium in the front, they will also take a Medium in the hind.

Q: Should I choose the ProTech or the Legacy boot?
A: Choose the ProTech if you need lightweight, breathable protection against impacts and strikes (knocking legs). Choose the Legacy if your horse requires suspensory support and a cradle system for high-impact maneuvers like sliding stops or hard turns.

Q: What is the best way to clean these boots?
A: For daily use, simply hose them off to remove sweat and dirt. For a deep clean, hand wash with mild soap and a stiff brush, then air dry; avoid the dryer as high heat can damage the neoprene and Velcro.
