FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the LeMieux Motion Cool Tendon Boot?
The primary purpose is to protect the horse's tendons from brushing knocks and scrapes, while the Motion Cool technology and vented design help to keep the legs cool and prevent overheating during exercise.
Are these boots suitable for all disciplines?
Yes, they are designed for high-intensity activities such as jumping, cross-country, and strenuous flatwork where protection and cooling are essential. They are also FEI competition compliant.
How do I determine the correct size for my horse?
The boots feature an ergonomic shape and adjustable fastening system designed for a versatile fit. It is recommended to measure the circumference of your horse's cannon bone and consult the sizing guide if available, or ensure a snug but not constrictive fit.
Can these boots be used in wet conditions?
While they offer good breathability, they are not specifically designed for prolonged use in very wet conditions, as excessive moisture can affect material performance and drying time.
How often should I clean the boots?
It is recommended to clean the boots after each significant use to maintain their effectiveness and longevity. Regular cleaning ensures the vents and lining remain clear for optimal airflow.
What makes the 'Airprene' lining beneficial?
The 'Airprene' lining is perforated and soft, providing enhanced ventilation to keep the horse's legs cool and preventing pressure points that can cause discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots slipping during use
Ensure the hook and loop tapes are securely fastened and that the boot is the correct size and shape for the horse's leg. Check that the leg is clean and dry before application.
Horse showing discomfort
Loosen the fastenings slightly. Check for any trapped hair or debris under the boot. Ensure the boot's ergonomic shape is correctly aligned with the leg's anatomy. Re-evaluate sizing if discomfort persists.
Reduced breathability over time
Clean the boots regularly according to care instructions to remove dirt and debris that can impede airflow. Ensure the perforated lining is clear of obstructions.
