The ARMA Neoprene Over Reach Boots are designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection against overreaching injuries. These boots offer excellent defense against scuffs and blows, preventing rubbing around the pastern with a comfortable neoprene construction. While they provide robust protection, ensure a proper fit to avoid discomfort or restricted movement.

The primary purpose is to protect the horse's front hooves and pasterns from being struck by the hind feet during exercise, preventing injuries caused by overreaching.
Refer to the sizing guide provided by the manufacturer or consult with your tack supplier. Sizes like Cob, Pony, Full, and X-Full correspond to different horse sizes. Ensure the boot fits snugly around the hoof and pastern without being too tight.
While primarily designed for ridden work, they can be used for turnout if there is a significant risk of overreaching or injury. However, continuous wear for turnout may lead to increased wear and tear or moisture retention.
Clean with a damp cloth or sponge. For a deeper clean, hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that provides cushioning and shock absorption. It is durable and offers good protection against scuffs, blows, and abrasions.
These boots are specifically designed as 'over reach' boots, intended for the front legs to protect them from being struck by the hind legs. They are generally not recommended for use on hind legs.
Ensure the touch-close fasteners are secured tightly and evenly. Check that the size is appropriate for the horse's leg; a boot that is too large may not stay up.
Verify that the boots are not fitted too tightly. Ensure there is no debris trapped inside the boot that could cause irritation. Check if the pastern area is adequately protected and not being chafed by the boot's edge.
Allow boots to air dry thoroughly after use. If heavily soiled, rinse with clean water and allow to dry completely before storing. Consider alternative boot materials if moisture retention is a persistent issue in your climate.
Setup: Ensure the boots are the correct size for your horse. Clean the horse's legs before application. Place the boot around the hoof and pastern, ensuring it sits correctly. Secure the double touch-close fasteners snugly but not too tightly. Check that the boot does not restrict movement or cause any rubbing.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for equine use and are compatible with most standard horse leg conformations. They are suitable for use during ridden work and turnout, depending on the specific activity and risk of injury.
Care: Clean the boots after each use to remove dirt and debris. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Allow the boots to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Inspect the boots regularly for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or damage to the fastenings, and replace if compromised.
