FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all types of riding?

The LeMieux Grafter Brushing Boots are ideal for everyday activities like schooling, turnout, and general riding. For high-impact sports or disciplines requiring extreme protection, consider specialized boots.

Can these boots be used on both front and hind legs?

Yes, they are designed to be versatile and can be fitted comfortably to both front and hind legs.

How do I clean the Grafter Brushing Boots?

Wipe them with a damp cloth after use. For a thorough clean, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely.

What makes the strike guard effective?

The strike guard is a reinforced area designed to absorb impact and protect the horse's leg from brushing injuries caused by accidental contact with the opposite leg or hooves.

Are these boots sold individually or as a pair?

They are sold in pairs, providing protection for two legs at a time.

What is the main benefit of the breathable fabric?

The breathable fabric allows for air circulation, which helps to prevent excessive heat and moisture buildup around the horse's legs, keeping them more comfortable during work.

Do the color-coordinated straps offer any functional benefit?

The straps provide a secure and adjustable fastening system. The color coordination is primarily an aesthetic feature to match other LeMieux tack.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg.

Ensure the leg is clean and dry before application. Check that the hook and loop straps are fastened securely and the boot is a suitable size for the horse's leg.

Rubbing or irritation on the horse's leg.

Verify the boots are not too tight. Ensure no debris is trapped inside the boot. Check the fit to ensure the boot is sitting correctly and not bunching.

Hook and loop fasteners losing grip.

Clean the hook and loop surfaces regularly with a brush to remove dirt and hair. If wear is significant, the boots may need replacement.

Strike guard not positioned correctly.

Re-apply the boot, ensuring the reinforced strike guard is specifically placed on the inner aspect of the cannon bone, where brushing typically occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These boots are designed for immediate use. Simply ensure the leg is clean and dry before application. Wrap the boots around the horse's cannon bone and fetlock area, ensuring the strike guard is positioned on the inner side of the leg where brushing is most likely to occur. Fasten the hook and loop straps securely, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. They can be used on either the front or hind legs.

Compatibility:

The LeMieux Grafter Brushing Boots are designed to fit a variety of horse leg shapes due to their flexible and ergonomic design. They are compatible with most standard horse leg conformations. Ensure correct sizing for optimal fit and protection.

Care:

To maintain the boots, clean them after each use. Wipe away mud and debris with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, they can often be hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources before storing or re-using. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials.
