The Arma Fetlock Boots are available in two sizes: Pony/Cob and Cob/Full.
Are these boots suitable for all equestrian activities?
Yes, they are designed for general equestrian use, providing protection during schooling, turnout, and jumping.
How do I ensure the boots are fitted correctly?
Position the boot around the fetlock and secure the double touch-close fastenings firmly, using the stretch inserts. Aim for a snug fit where you can still slide two fingers under the fastenings.

How often should I clean the boots?

What material is the outer shell made of?

Do the boots restrict movement?
No, the boots are ergonomically shaped and designed with flexible materials to provide protection without restricting natural movement.
Troubleshooting
Boots are slipping down the leg.
Ensure the touch-close fastenings are securely fastened and that the correct size is being used. Check for any debris on the horse's leg or the inside of the boot that might affect grip.
Horse seems uncomfortable or shows signs of irritation.
Check the tightness of the fastenings; they should be secure but not restrictive. Ensure the boots are the correct size and shape for the horse's leg anatomy. Clean the inside of the boots regularly to remove any grit.
Outer shell appears scuffed or damaged.
Minor scuffs are normal wear and indicate the boot is providing protection. Inspect for any deep cracks or significant structural damage. If the shell is compromised, the boot should be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To apply the boots, open the double touch-close fastenings. Position the boot around the horse's fetlock, ensuring the contoured shape sits correctly. Secure the fastenings firmly, utilizing the stretch inserts for a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation. It is recommended to check the fit by ensuring you can comfortably slide two fingers underneath the fastenings.
Compatibility: These fetlock boots are designed to be compatible with most horses, available in Pony/Cob and Cob/Full sizes. They are intended for use on the fetlock area and can be combined with corresponding tendon boots for complete leg protection.
Care: After use, remove any excess dirt with a stiff brush. For deeper cleaning, hand wash the boots in cool water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure the touch-close fastenings are clean to maintain their grip.
