HKM Softoprene Breathable Dressage Flatwork Horse Leg
HKM "Softoprene" Protection Boots Description : Super lightweight, breathable, protective and supportive - the perfect flatwork and dressage boot. The main material of the dressage boots is a micro-pore neoprene that has been called "softoprene" by HKM due to its soft, supple nature. This neoprene offers the protection, shock absorbency and flexibility of normal neoprene but is extra soft to help prevent rubbing and chafing. The neoprene material is fully breathable too meaning that moisture and heat can freely pass through the boots outer, ensuring the lower leg, tendons and ligaments are all kept cooler than other types of boot. The boots are anatomically shaped to fit around the lower leg of the horse, cupping around the fetlock area. The design ensures protection from just below the knee to just above the coronet band - offering support and key protection in the areas of the tendons and ligaments, often used during flatwork and dressage. The design of the boot also incorporates extra tough protection around the back of the leg - the plastic material reduces the risk of damage through a strike from another hoof.The boots also feature four wide velcro strips that are easy to attach and make the boot easy to put on and remove. The three main straps wrap around the cannon bone keeping the boot secure and offering support in this area. The fourth and lowest strap wraps around just below the fetlock - offering extra support here and ensuring the soft neoprene material wraps around the lower part of the leg. Available in a wide range of colours - the boots coordinate up well with many of HKM's saddlepads. The boots come as a set of two and can be used on front or hind legs. More Information...
