“No hooves, no horse” is a saying every equestrian has heard at some time. As prey animals the hooves and legs are extremely important to horses. Our horses hold a special place in our hearts, prompting us to go to great lengths to protect them from harm, but how do we do it without causing them discomfort in the long turn?
Reducing One Risk Increases Another
In the realm of warmer weather and intense riding sessions, the need for products with superior breathability becomes paramount. As riders, we must address both short-term risks, such as external impacts on delicate legs, and long-term risks associated with overheating. Overheating can lead to tissue damage and cell degeneration, compromising the tendons’ ability to flex and absorb the impact of a horse’s movements.
Achieving the delicate balance between short-term and long-term protection is the hallmark of a great horse boot. To master this difficult balancing act of getting the maximum amount of breathability and optimal protection at the same time was a must for the Equestrian Stockholm Design Team.
The Balancing Act
By incorporating 3 mm punched holes in a flexible, moisture-wicking polyester and bamboo blend lining, paired with a mesh fabric exterior to optimize air circulation, breathability is taken to a top level for this new type of brushing boot. With the fabric being soft and flexible together with the adjustable velcro fastening ensures an all over good fit and caring to delicate skin.
The addition of durable synthetic leather amplification over the fetlock joint ensures the necessary protection while maintaining a soft touch for the horse. It’s a 360-degree approach that considers all crucial factors to strike the perfect balance between form and function.
Of course style is taken in to consideration while creating the design. No matter the color of your tack’s hardware or the badge on your Equestrian saddle pad, our Classic Mesh Brushing Boots feature a logo patch that harmonizes effortlessly. This customization ensures that your equestrian gear not only performs exceptionally but also reflects your personal style preferences.
