How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

For the Legacy2, fit is determined by the circumference of the cannon bone measured midway between the knee and fetlock. Small fits 7"–7.5", Medium fits 7.5"–8", and Large fits 8"–8.5" circumferences; hind boot sizes typically correspond directly to the front boot size.

Are these boots suitable for barrel racing and reining?

Yes, these are considered the "gold standard" for Western performance disciplines. They provide the essential fetlock protection needed for tight barrel turns and the critical suspensory support required for sliding stops in reining.

Will my horse's legs overheat in these boots?

No, the Legacy2 is specifically engineered with 100% virgin perforated neoprene, which is designed to facilitate airflow and allow heat to escape, keeping the tendons significantly cooler than traditional non-perforated boots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I size them?

Measure the cannon-bone circumference midway between the knee and fetlock: Small 7"–7.5", Medium 7.5"–8", Large 8"–8.5", and X-Large above 8.5". Hind sizes usually correspond to the front, but check each leg if your horse is between sizes. Front and hind are cut differently, so order the boots you need for each end.

Q: Are they good for barrel racing and reining?

Yes — the Legacy2 is a long-time favorite for Western performance, giving fetlock protection for tight turns and suspensory support for sliding stops.

Q: Will my horse's legs overheat?

The perforated neoprene is designed to vent heat and let air circulate, which helps keep the leg cooler than a non-perforated boot. As with any boot, remove them after work and don't leave them on longer than needed.
