Did you know that...
the fetlock joint is one of the most heavily stressed joints in a horse's leg? During movement, it sinks significantly under load and works together with tendons and ligaments like an elastic spring system. In the process, kinetic energy is briefly stored and then released. This is precisely why protecting this area from additional external impacts is particularly sensible.

FAQ
What are fetlock boots used for?
Fetlock boots protect the fetlock area of the hind legs from brushing, interference, and strikes from the opposite leg. Especially when jumping, the hind legs can touch during fast phases of movement. The boots cover exactly this vulnerable area.
Why are fetlock boots significantly shorter at the back than jumping boots at the front?
Their primary function is to protect exactly the area where the hind legs can hit each other when brushing or striking.
Can fetlock boots prevent injuries?
They can reduce the risk of abrasions, bruises, and other injuries caused by external impacts. The shock-absorbing mesh and neoprene padding additionally help to absorb impact forces. However, fetlock boots cannot completely prevent overuse injuries to tendons or joints.
How should fetlock boots fit correctly?
The protective side belongs on the inside of the hind leg and should reliably cover the vulnerable fetlock area. The fetlock boot must fit securely without cutting in, twisting, or restricting the natural movement of the joint.
Why are there particularly precise tournament rules for fetlock boots in show jumping?
Certain hind leg boots can, due to their construction or very strong pressure, influence the sensitivity of the hind leg and thereby affect the jumping movement. Therefore, the regulations are intended to ensure that fetlock boots actually serve to protect the horse's leg. The German Equestrian Federation (FN) has also adopted corresponding FEI restrictions for national show jumping.
Are the fetlock boots allowed at the tournament?
The fetlock boots are designed for use at tournaments. However, which hind leg boots are permitted in a particular class depends on the current FN equipment catalog and the type of competition. The FN updates this catalog at the beginning of each year, which is why the current version is always authoritative before a tournament.
Why does the fetlock boot combine genuine leather, neoprene, and a shock-absorbing mesh?
The materials perform different functions. The genuine leather forms the durable outer side, the neoprene provides soft padding against the horse's leg, and the mesh structure helps to distribute impact forces over a larger area. This creates targeted protection without making the fetlock boot unnecessarily rigid.

Description
In the world of equestrianism, the protection and well-being of your horse are of the utmost importance. Our genuine leather fetlock boots not only provide top-notch protection for the sensitive areas on your horse's hind legs, but also offer an elegant aesthetic that impresses both on the riding arena and in other occasions.
Features and Highlights:
-
High-Quality Genuine Leather for Unparalleled Durability and Comfort: Our fetlock boots are crafted from carefully selected genuine leather, which not only offers robustness and resilience, but also boasts an exquisite appearance. The premium genuine leather ensures a long lifespan for the fetlock boots, even under intensive use. Furthermore, the leather conforms to your horse's leg, providing a high degree of comfort and freedom of movement.
-
Innovative Shock Absorption through Integrated Mesh in the Fetlock Boots: The integration of a shock-absorbing mesh into the fetlock boots represents a remarkable innovation that elevates the protection and performance of the horse to a new level. This special layer of shock-absorbing material, skillfully incorporated into the design of the fetlock boots, brings forth a multitude of benefits, particularly invaluable in demanding show jumping. The shock-absorbing feature of the mesh functions as an invisible barrier between the horse's legs and the challenges of the course. As the horse jumps over obstacles or gallops on uneven terrain, the impacts and vibrations from each landing are effectively cushioned. This significantly reduces strain on the tendons, ligaments, and joints of the horse, thereby minimizing the risk of injury and promoting long-term well-being. However, the benefits of this shock-absorbing layer extend beyond mere protection. It facilitates a more comfortable and fluid movement for the horse, as it is less affected by the impact of ground contact. This can lead to increased horse confidence, allowing it to concentrate on its movements and jumps without being distracted by unpleasant shocks. This enhanced freedom of movement can in turn enhance the horse's performance, enabling it to reach its full potential.
-
