Product Information
Full details
The ARMA Carbon Open Fronted Tendon Boots are designed for performance horses and riders who require high-impact protection without sacrificing sensory feedback or mobility. These boots are ideal for schooling and jumping where keeping the horse's legs cool and protected is a top priority, though they may require frequent cleaning to maintain the efficiency of the mesh ventilation system during muddy conditions.

FAQs
Can these be used on the hind legs?
These are specifically designed as tendon boots for the front legs; using them on hind legs is not recommended due to differences in anatomy.
Are they machine washable?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the TPU shell and the fastening pins.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The boot should sit securely against the cannon bone without rotating, and the horse should show no signs of discomfort or restriction in movement.
Will the shell crack in freezing temperatures?
The TPU material is designed to be flexible and durable, but it is best to avoid extreme temperature cycling to ensure longevity.
Does the carbon in the name mean they are made of real carbon fiber?
The 'Carbon' designation refers to the style and performance aesthetic; the boots are constructed from high-grade TPU and impact-absorbing foams.
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping during exercise
Ensure the hair is dry and the leg is clean before application; check that the elastic straps are pulled to the correct tension.
Mesh vents clogged with debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt after the mud has dried, or rinse with a hose to clear out the perforations.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent balance of protection and flexibility
- Highly breathable for comfort in hot weather
- Durable, abrasion-resistant TPU exterior
- Ergonomic shape prevents rubbing
- Quick and easy to put on and remove
Cons
- Open front design provides less coverage than closed boots
- Mesh vents can trap mud in wet arenas
- Requires regular care to maintain airflow properties
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, position the boot on the horse's leg so that the open front section is facing forward and the strike pad is centered over the back of the cannon bone. Fasten the elasticated straps securely using the pin mechanism; the fit should be firm but allow for a finger to be slipped underneath the edge of the boot. To care for your boots, brush off dried mud after every use to keep the mesh vents clear. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash with a mild, horse-safe detergent and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources, as extreme heat can warp the TPU material.
