FAQs

Are these boots suitable for jumping?

The Grafter Brushing Boots are primarily designed for protection against brushing injuries during schooling and everyday work. While they offer some protection, they are not typically classified as specialized jumping boots which often feature more advanced impact absorption technology.

Can these boots be used on all horses?

Yes, they are designed to be versatile and fit both front and hind legs. However, ensuring the correct size and a snug fit is crucial for any horse's comfort and protection.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The boots should fit snugly around the cannon bone and fetlock area without causing any restriction of movement or pressure points. When fastened, there should be no significant gaps, and the strike guard should align with the lower leg.

What is the main purpose of the strike guard?

The strike guard is a reinforced section designed to protect the horse's vulnerable lower leg from impact injuries, such as those caused by the horse brushing one leg against another.

Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the boots in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing can be too harsh and may damage the materials or fasteners. Always air dry.

Are these boots sold individually or in pairs?

The LeMieux Grafter Brushing Boots are sold in pairs.

What makes the fabric breathable?

The fabric is engineered with small pores that allow air to circulate, helping to dissipate heat and moisture away from the horse's leg, thus maintaining comfort.

Troubleshooting

Boots are slipping down the leg.

Ensure the hook and loop straps are securely fastened and the boot is fitted snugly. Check that the leg is clean and dry before application, as dirt or moisture can affect grip. Ensure you are using the correct size for your horse's leg.

Horse seems uncomfortable or rubs.

Verify that the boots are not too tight. Check for any internal seams or debris that might be causing irritation. Ensure the strike guard is positioned correctly for protection and not digging into the leg.

Hook and loop fasteners are not holding securely.

Clean the hook and loop surfaces by brushing away any embedded dirt or hair. If they are excessively worn, consider replacing the boots.

Material appears worn or damaged after a short period.

Inspect the boots for specific points of wear. If damage is due to normal brushing, this is the intended function. For defects in material or manufacturing, contact the retailer.
