FAQ
Q: How do I determine the correct size of horse boots?
A: Measure the circumference of your horse's leg at the relevant points (fetlock, cannon bone) and consult the manufacturer's sizing chart. Ensure the boot fits snugly but not too tightly, allowing for at least two fingers to slide underneath the straps.
Q: Can these boots be used for turnout or only under saddle?
A: These specific boots are generally designed for protection during ridden work or specific disciplines. For turnout, boots with more flexible materials and coverage might be more appropriate, depending on the risk of injury in the pasture.
Q: How should I clean and maintain these horse boots?
A: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth or mild soap and water. Ensure the inside is free of dirt and debris. Allow boots to air dry completely away from direct heat before storing to prevent material degradation and odor.
