FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Air Motion Fabric?

The Air Motion Fabric is designed to enhance air circulation around the horse's legs, helping to keep them cooler during exercise by facilitating heat dissipation.

Can these boots be used for turnout?

Yes, they are suggested for turnout and offer a lightweight layer of protection against minor scuffs and scrapes.

How often should I wash my brushing boots?

Wash them as needed when they become dirty or soiled. Regular cleaning helps maintain the integrity of the fabric and fastenings. Follow the 30°C machine wash guideline.

What disciplines are these boots most suitable for?

They are suitable for a wide range of activities including general riding, schooling, warming up, dressage, show jumping, eventing, cross country, hunting, groundwork, and turnout.

Are these boots heavy?

No, the Arma Air Motion Brushing Boots are designed to be lightweight to avoid adding unnecessary weight to the horse's legs.

Can I use these boots if my horse overreaches significantly?

While they offer strike protection, for horses with a severe overreaching issue, more specialized or robust boots might be necessary. These are best for general protection against moderate brushing and minor strikes.

What colours are available?

The Arma Air Motion Brushing Boots are available in Black, Deep Red, Plum, Green, Royal Blue, Grey, or Raspberry.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg

Ensure the touch-close fastenings are secured tightly. Check if the correct size has been selected; a boot that is too large may slip. Make sure the horse's legs are clean and free of oils or dirt, which can affect grip.

Horse seems irritated by the boots

Verify that the boots are not too tight, which can impede circulation. Ensure there are no rough seams or internal debris causing discomfort. Introduce the boots gradually during short periods of wear.

Air Motion Fabric not feeling effective

Confirm that the boot's internal and external surfaces are clean and free from mud or debris, which can block airflow. The effectiveness is subtle and works to aid natural cooling, not to actively cool.

Straps losing adhesion

Clean the hook-and-loop (touch-close) surfaces gently with a stiff brush to remove debris. Ensure they are completely dry after washing before re-applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before application.
  2. Position the boot around the lower leg, aligning the strike protection pad with the inner cannon bone area.
  3. Wrap the touch-close straps securely around the leg, starting from the bottom and working upwards. Ensure a snug fit that does not restrict circulation.

Compatibility:

The Arma Air Motion Brushing Boots are designed for horses and are suitable for a wide range of breeds and sizes, available in Small Pony, Pony, Cob, Full, and Extra Full. They are intended for use on the lower leg. Ensure the chosen size is appropriate for your horse's conformation.

Care Instructions:

  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Allow the boots to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry.
  • Fasten the touch-close straps before washing to prevent them from attaching to the fabric of the boots or other laundry items.
