About this product
Give your horse the ultimate edge with elite-level leg protection that balances extreme durability with maximum breathability. Say goodbye to heat buildup and heavy, waterlogged boots, and hello to a lightweight solution designed for peak performance in any discipline.
The Professional’s Choice Pro Performance line represents a revolutionary shift in equine leg protection, moving beyond traditional neoprene to utilize high-tech TPU mesh and air-cushion technology. Engineered with a "rip-stop" honeycomb outer shell and a hypoallergenic, non-slip lining, these boots provide a superior anatomical fit that prevents rubs while dissipating impact energy through integrated air-bag strike zones.
Key Features & Specifications:
- Pro Mesh TPU Shell: Constructed from a unique honeycomb/hex-patterned material that is exceptionally durable, flexible, and highly ventilated to prevent dangerous heat buildup during intense work.
- Shock-Absorbing Air Cushions: Features an innovative "air-bag" system in the strike area that dissipates energy upon impact and immediately returns to its original shape for consistent tendon protection.
- Non-Water Retaining Design: Specifically engineered to stay lightweight and won't sag or soak up water, making them the premier choice for cross-country riders and wet conditions.
- Hypoallergenic Closed-Cell Lining: Naturally resistant to mold and bacteria, this lining is ideal for horses with sensitive skin and prevents grit from causing uncomfortable rubs.
- Reinforced Pebax Strike Guard: Includes a rigid, high-level strike plate to protect against interference or hitting solid jumps without adding unnecessary bulk.
- Anatomical Fit & Overlap: Expertly shaped to follow the natural curve of the leg with a recommended 0.5" to 1.5" material overlap for a secure, slip-free fit.
- Versatile Discipline Performance: Available in specialized models including Open Front for show jumping, Elite XC for eventing, and Hybrid Splint for all-around schooling and turnout.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I ensure I get the right size for my horse?
A: The fetlock circumference is the most critical measurement for these boots. For a perfect fit, the material should provide a 0.5" to 1.5" overlap at the back of the leg to ensure maximum stability and protection without slipping or shifting during movement.
Q: Are these boots better for my horse than traditional neoprene Sports Medicine Boots (SMBs)?
A: While SMBs offer excellent suspensory support, the Pro Performance line is superior when heat dissipation and weight are your primary concerns. These boots are neoprene-free, highly breathable, and won't get heavy in wet conditions, making them ideal for high-intensity work and sensitive-skinned horses.
Q: How do I clean and maintain these boots?
A: Maintenance is incredibly simple because the materials do not absorb water. You can simply hose them off after a ride for daily cleaning, or machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle for a deeper clean—they dry significantly faster than traditional fleece or neoprene alternatives.
