The ARMA Neoprene Brushing Boots are designed for horse owners seeking reliable, everyday leg protection during training sessions or turnout. These boots feature a contoured, flexible design that absorbs impact while maintaining freedom of movement for the horse; however, they should be monitored closely to ensure they are kept clean and dry to prevent skin irritation under the neoprene during extended use.

Yes, they are made from neoprene, which is water-resistant. However, you should remove them after exercise to allow the skin to dry.
You should be able to slide one finger between the boot and the horse's leg. If you cannot, the boot is likely too tight.
While they provide protection for flatwork, they are not specialized jumping boots and lack the rigid tendon protection recommended for high-impact jumping.
Wipe them down after every use to remove sweat and dust. A thorough wash is recommended whenever they appear visibly dirty or smelly.
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fastenings and the shape of the strike pads.
Ensure the hair on the horse's leg is clean and that the fastenings are pulled tight enough; check that the boot is the correct size for the horse's cannon circumference.
Remove the boots immediately after use, rinse with water, and brush the inner lining once dry to remove all abrasive particles.
To apply the boots, ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry to prevent trapping dirt, which can cause rubs. Position the strike pad on the inside of the cannon bone, ensuring the fastenings are directed toward the rear of the horse. Secure the straps firmly, but ensure you can still comfortably slide a finger between the boot and the leg to prevent overtightening. For maintenance, brush off dried mud after every use. When the boots become soiled, hand wash them in cool water with a mild, non-biological detergent and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can degrade the neoprene material.
