Shires Arma Carbon Fetlock Boots - Durable Impact Protection for Your Horse's Hind Legs

Advanced Protection for Every Jump

When you're heading into the arena or working through lateral movements, the last thing you want to worry about is a strike or interference injury. The Shires Arma Carbon Fetlock Boots are designed to provide that peace of mind, offering professional-grade protection for your horse's hind legs without the bulk of a full-wrap boot. From the schooling ring to the show circuit, these boots are built to handle the heat of competition.

These boots aren't just about looking sharp—they are built for the long haul. Shires has engineered a sophisticated "Triple Impact" system that combines a rugged TPU outer shell with a shock-absorbing honeycomb core. This ensures your horse stays comfortable and protected from strikes, while the specialized cooling lining prevents the overheating that can lead to long-term tendon fatigue.

Why We Love the Arma Carbon Boots

• Triple Impact Defense: The durable TPU "carbon effect" shell deflects strikes while the honeycomb foam center dissipates impact energy before it reaches the joint.
• Superior Moisture Management: Integrated mesh vents and a COOLMAX® lining work together to wick away sweat and prevent tendon overheating during high-intensity work.
• Secure, Double-Lock Closure: High-quality elastic straps with double-lock fastenings ensure a snug, non-slip fit that stays put over fences and through tight turns.
• Ergonomic Interference Protection: Specifically shaped to guard the inner hind leg from striking the opposite limb during lateral work or jumping.
• Low-Maintenance Durability: The abrasion-resistant finish is easy to wipe clean, keeping your gear looking barn-ready with minimal effort.

Best For

Show jumpers and competitive riders looking for lightweight, high-impact interference protection that keeps legs cool under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know which size to choose for my horse?

Sizing generally follows height: Pony (up to 13.1 HH), Cob (13.2-15.1 HH), and Full (15.2-16.2 HH). If your horse is between heights but has "good bone" (thicker cannon bones), we recommend sizing up to the Full to ensure the Shires Arma Carbon Fetlock Boots close securely around the leg.

Q: Can these boots be used for daily schooling?

Absolutely. While they are a favorite for the show ring due to their sleek look, their durability and breathable lining make them excellent for daily high-impact schooling where interference protection is a priority.

Q: Are these boots sold as a pair?

Yes, these boots are sold as a pair specifically designed for the hind legs.
