FAQs
How do I measure my horse for the boots?
Measure the circumference and height of the hoof. Refer to the size chart for Arma boots to determine the correct size. If in doubt, go a size up.
How often should I clean the boots?
Rinse the boots after each ride, especially if the horse is working in muddy or dusty conditions.
What if the boots are too big?
Return the boots for a smaller size. The boots will not protect your horse properly if they are too big.
Can I use the boots on all types of horses?
Yes, but ensure a proper fit. They are designed for a variety of horses and disciplines.
How long do the boots last?
The boots are made for long lasting use. However, the lifespan depends on usage and care. Inspect them regularly for wear and tear.
What are the benefits of the anti-spin nodules?
The nodules help prevent the boot from rotating, keeping the protective features aligned with the horse's heel bulb.
Troubleshooting
Boot spins or rotates during use.
Ensure the boot is the correct size. Check the fit and tighten the fasteners. Consider adjusting the placement of the boot or switching to a different size or style.
Boot rubs and causes irritation.
Check the fit of the boot; it might be too tight. Ensure the pastern area is properly protected. Consider using a barrier, such as a thin sock, to prevent rubbing if the issue persists.
