What inspired the Close Contact Turnout Boots?

We’ve seen what winter conditions can do to horses legs. One horse’s story stayed with us, where he physically couldn’t go out in the field because of the wet and mud and the effect it had on his legs. As we know – turnout is an important part of a horses’ routine for both their physical and mental wellbeing! The winter weather can be relentless, and therefore the Close Contact Turnout Boots were born. They are designed as a second skin on the horses’ leg while keeping them protected from the mud, wet and cold.

What material is used in the Close Contact Boots?

These close-fitting turnout boots are made from perforated neoprene. This helps keep legs cool with their breathable material. They also feature a four way stretch, which is essential. As horses wear these boots in the field, there is a lot of movement involved. The boots are designed to stay in place but allow the horse to move freely too.

Why do the Close Contact Chaps fit so far down the leg?

For maximum coverage and protection from the elements, the Close Contact Chaps extend from below the knee/hock all the way down to the coronet band. This means the correct size is essential to ensure the entire lower leg is protected.

Do the Close Contact Turnout Boots also provide protection in the field?

The Close Contact Chaps do provide some protection towards brushing and overreach injuries, but as they are primarily designed to promote good skin health, the material is not too thick to ensure breathability.

If you are looking for protection during turnout, why not consider our Hardy Turnout Boots?

Who are the Close Contact Turnout Boots for?

These turnout boots are perfect for horse owners who would like to:

• Keep legs clean in the field
• Protect their horses’ legs against mud and wet in the field
• Offer gentle protection to their horses’ legs in the field with a breathable boot
• Save time in their winter routine

Please note, these boots are not suitable for horses with a neoprene allergy.

Caring for the Close Contact Turnout Chaps:

The cleaner you can keep these chaps when placing them onto your horses’ legs, the better! Machine washable at 30 degrees, and quick to dry means they are easy to care for. However, for day to day, giving them a quick wash off once your horse has come in is best practice if they are particularly muddy. While they do dry quickly, having a second set on standby can help if the weather is particularly bad, cold and wet!

What material is used in the Stable Chaps?

The inner liner is made from a soft fabric which is particularly useful when the horse has come in from the field cold and wet or after exercise. It also ensures that the horse remains comfortable when left in the Stable Chaps overnight.

The outer fabric is smooth which helps to repel shavings, straw, dust and dirt and is easy to clean and wash.

What inspired the Hardy Turnout Boots?

These tough turnout chaps were made as a result from a request from a popular dressage yard. As some competition yards do, the horses had limited turnout. So when the horses did go out, you can image they threw some shapes! Hardy Chaps were designed to help them enjoy their field time, safely!

Magnets where you want them in these magnetic horse boots designed to to support mobility, aid joint function and maintain healthy tendons.

• Ideal for ridden horses, veterans, on box rest/standing in for long periods of time.
• Use as an alternative to stable bandages to keep the legs warm and maintain circulation.
• 2-year guarantee.
• Supplied in pairs.

Do not apply Vitaflex® magnets on open wounds, bruises, areas of inflammation or for the first 5 days following steroid injections.

For specific hind boots, please see Hind & Hock Magnetic Chaps. Additional magnets are available here.

What is the material used within the Magnetic Boots for horses?

Our Magnetic Boots are made of a nylon inner and outer, with polyester fill. The fill provides enough warmth and padding, but is not too thick so the boot remains flexible and comfortable, while providing some warmth but not overheating the legs.

The inner layer is completely velcro receptive too, so that our magnets can be placed anywhere throughout the boots.

Four Vitaflex® Magnets are supplied with each pair of boots. They are reasonably thin and flat, yet extremely flexible. This allows them to mould to the horses’ legs, should they need to be placed over a joint. Supplied in a small pouch, they can be placed anywhere within the magnetic boot lining with the simple hook and loop attachment. This allows you to target the magnets exactly where your horse needs them.

Which magnets are used and how do they work?

The body’s cells have electromagnetic properties which means they can be affected by a magnetic field. Vitaflex® magnets are used in our Magnetic Chaps for horses and present two alternating poles to the body, negative and positive, making them different to standard Neodymium magnets, which present only one pole. These strong, circular and permanent magnetic fields of alternating pole sequences penetrate into the body tissue.

When should these Magnetic Boots for horses be used?

• Every day as part of your horses’ daily routine for maintaining leg health. Usually overnight or in the day when stood in.
• For horses in work from hacking to competition. This includes horses returning to work or retraining.
• For older horses or those who are slow to warm up.
• Horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout.
• General knocks and bumps.

How do I care for the Magnetic boots?

Machine washable at 30 degrees, so you can quickly and easily clean your boots. Our Hook Cleaner Brush can also help keep your straps debris free and prolong their life.
