This item is in stock with E.A.Mattes in Poland, therefore is a shorter lead time, allow 3-4 weeks.
These Boots feature a hard shell made from highly resistant ABS plastic, only on the inside, covered with leather on the outside.
• The hard shells are designed not to touch the fetlock joint. The lower edges of the shell are wide enough not to touch the fetlock.
• The outside area of the fetlock joint is left completely open.
• The boots come with a detachable sheepskin lining, this avoids any pressure points and friction, it also absorbs sweat.
• The edges of the boots must not overlap when closing! Our design ensures completely free movement of the joint.
There is no need for protection at the outside of the joint in Dressage, therefore it is best to have nothing there. On the inside, the hard shell is absolutely essential.

Important Information
There is a possibility of dye bleeding from dark or bright coloured sheepskin onto light coloured quilt. A slight staining is possible from dark or bright coloured wool onto the hair of light coloured horses. Fading of the wools surface is also possible due to the composition of the horses sweat, which can be different from horse to horse. The same applies to dark and bright dyes on saddle leathers.
