particularly high forces act on the tendons of the front legs when landing after a jump? In a biomechanical study, peak forces of around 13.9 kN were calculated for the superficial digital flexor tendon. Furthermore, the strain on them increased significantly with rising obstacle height. This is precisely why targeted protection of the front legs is particularly sensible in show jumping.

What are the purpose of overreach boots and jumping boots in a set?

Overreach boots primarily protect the heels, coronary band, and the back area of the front hoof from injuries caused by overreaching. Jumping boots protect the sensitive hind legs from impacts, strikes, and injuries, especially when jumping. Together, they provide comprehensive protection for hooves and legs during intense activity.

How should overreach boots and jumping boots fit correctly?

Overreach boots should completely cover the heel area without hindering the horse when landing or chafing the fetlock area. Jumping boots must fit snugly and evenly against the leg without cutting in or restricting movement, and they must not twist or slip. Both products feature adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners for a customized fit.

Can overreach boots and jumping boots prevent injuries?

Overreach boots reduce the risk of injuries from overreaching and protect against pulling off horseshoes. Jumping boots protect against external injuries caused by brushing, self-striking, or contact with obstacles, and they support tendons and joints. However, they cannot guarantee complete protection against all injuries.

Are overreach boots and jumping boots permitted at horse shows?

Leg protection is generally provided for in show jumping, but specific requirements apply depending on the class and discipline. The FN (German Equestrian Federation) specifies which equipment is permissible in its annually updated equipment catalog. Before competing, you should check the current regulations for your class.

For which horses and training situations is this set ideally suited?

The set is particularly suitable for horses that tend to overreach or whose front legs are exposed to increased impact loads when jumping. It is ideal for jumping training, course work, and tournaments, as well as for horses with long-striding movement or strong engagement of the hindquarters.

• Use only as intended for leg or hoof protection on horses.
• Do not apply to open wounds, skin injuries, or irritated skin areas.
• Check for damage, tears, loose seams, worn areas, or defective fasteners before each use.
• Do not continue to use if damaged or heavily worn.
• Regularly check the fit and secure position to avoid pressure points, chafing, skin irritation, or circulatory issues.
• Do not fasten too tightly. Ensure sufficient freedom of movement for the limbs as well as in the fetlock and heel area.
• Remove dirt and moisture after every use and allow the products to dry completely to prevent skin irritation and material damage.
• Do not make any unauthorized modifications or repairs to the products.
• Clean only according to the care label. Do not use chemical cleaning agents, bleach, or solvents.
• Do not store or dry near open flames, heat sources, or chemical substances.
