Travel Boots: Reliable Leg Protection on the Road
During loading and while traveling in a horse trailer, there is an increased risk of injuries to the horse's legs. Travel boots offer extensive protection against kicks, bumps, and abrasions. They generously cover the leg from the coronet band up to and over the knee or hock.
Shock-Absorbing Materials and Secure Hold
The boots feature thick, shock-absorbing padding, often made of dense foam or fleece. The outer material is made of robust, dirt-repellent fabric to withstand mechanical impacts. Wide Velcro straps ensure that the boots can be put on quickly and do not slip during the journey.
Anatomical Fit for High Comfort
A good fit is important so that the horse is not disturbed in its balance. Anatomically shaped travel boots adapt to the contour of the horse's legs. They provide sufficient freedom of movement to support safe standing and balancing in the trailer without applying unpleasant pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are travel boots absolutely necessary?
There is no legal requirement, but they are highly recommended. Horses can lose their balance when braking or cornering and injure themselves or scrape against the walls of the trailer.
How do I put the boots on correctly?
The closures are usually fastened from the inside out or from front to back, with the tension evenly distributed. The boot must not sit too loosely, nor should it restrict blood circulation by being too tight.
How do I clean travel boots?
Most models can be washed in the washing machine at 30 °C (86 °F). It is advisable to brush off coarse dirt beforehand and close all Velcro straps to avoid damage to the material or the Velcro surfaces.
