FAQs

How do I measure my horse for the correct size?

Measure the circumference of the lower leg and the length from the ground to the fetlock. Refer to the size chart for guidance.

Can these be used on horses with existing wounds?

Consult with a veterinarian before applying mud socks to legs with wounds. Ensure the area is clean and properly treated.

How often should I clean the mud socks?

Clean the mud socks after each use or when they become dirty. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of bacteria and mud.

What material are the mud socks made of?

The mud socks are crafted from hardwearing yet flexible neoprene material.

Are these suitable for turnout?

Yes, they are designed for turnout and offer protection against the elements.

How do the touch-close straps work?

The straps use a hook-and-loop system to provide a secure and adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Mud Socks are too loose.

Adjust the touch-close straps to achieve a snug fit. If the socks still do not fit, consider a different size.

Mud Socks are causing rubbing.

Check for any debris or foreign objects trapped inside the socks. Ensure the correct size is being used.
