Troubleshooting
Gaiters causing chafing or sores
Ensure boots are not applied too tightly. Clean the horse's legs before application. Adhere to the recommended 12-hour wear limit and allow skin to air out between uses. Check for debris trapped inside the boot.
Gaiters slipping down
Check that the closures are secured firmly and evenly. Ensure the gaiter is the correct size for the horse's leg. Make sure the leg is clean and dry before application.
Reduced breathability
Clean the Air-Tech neoprene material regularly according to care instructions to ensure ventilation channels are clear of mud and debris.
