FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these over reach boots?

The primary purpose is to protect the horse's lower leg and coronet band from injuries caused by the hind hoof striking the front leg (overreaching).

Can these boots be used for turnout?

Yes, they are designed to be strong and flexible, making them suitable for everyday exercise, turnout, and stable use.

How do I determine the correct size?

Consult the sizing guide provided by the manufacturer. Generally, measure around the horse's pastern and fetlock area. The boot should cover the coronet band effectively.

Are these boots waterproof?

While they offer protection against knocks, they are designed with breathable materials. They are not fully waterproof and should be dried thoroughly after exposure to moisture.

How often should I check the boots for wear and tear?

It is recommended to inspect the boots regularly, especially the strike-proof shell and touch tape fastenings, for any signs of damage or wear before each use.

Can these boots be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash the boots with cool water and mild soap to preserve the materials and fastenings. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Troubleshooting

Boots seem to slip or move excessively.

Ensure the touch tape fastenings are securely tightened. Check that the correct size has been selected; a boot that is too large may slip. Ensure the leg is clean and dry before application.

Horse appears uncomfortable or has rubs.

Verify the boots are not too tight. Ensure the breathable lining is clean and free from debris. Allow the horse a break from wearing the boots if irritation persists.

Touch tape fastenings are not holding securely.

Clean the touch tape surfaces thoroughly with a brush to remove dirt, hair, and debris. If the tape is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against overreaching injuries.
  • Comfortable for the horse due to breathable lining.
  • Secure fit that stays in place.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.
  • Lightweight design does not impede movement.

Cons

  • May require careful sizing to ensure a proper fit.
  • Touch tape fastenings might wear over time.
  • Not intended for extreme competitive use where maximum support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before application.
  2. Wrap the boot around the lower leg, ensuring the strike-proof shell covers the coronet band.
  3. Secure the touch tape fastenings firmly, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The no-turn nodule should sit correctly.

Compatibility:

These boots are designed for standard horse leg anatomy. They are compatible with most riding disciplines and turnout situations. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for your horse's leg circumference and height.

Care:

  • Hand wash with cool water and mild soap.
  • Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
  • Regularly check the touch tape fastenings for cleanliness and effectiveness. Brush off any dirt or debris to maintain adhesion.
