Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why are these boots preferred for competitive show jumping?
A: These boots are specifically designed to protect the inner fetlock from interference and "brushing" while allowing the horse to remain sensitive to poles, which encourages a more careful and athletic hind-end technique over fences.

Q: How do I ensure I select the correct size for my horse?
A: We recommend measuring your horse's fetlock circumference and comparing it to our dimensions; the Cob/Full size (6" H x 8.7" W) fits most standard riding horses, while the Pony/Cob (5" H x 7.9" W) is tailored for smaller equines.

Q: Are these boots easy to maintain after a muddy schooling session?
A: Yes, maintenance is simple. You can easily brush off dried mud or wipe the durable outer shell and neoprene lining with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep them in peak performing condition.
