Overreach boot designed to protect the entire heel area.. The techno sheepskin fabric on the top of the boot helps prevent irritation or rubbing.
Save the Sheep, the new line in techno sheepskin, is cruelty free. The lining is a man-made fabric, which is free from any animal derivatives. The techno sheepskin offers numerous advantages:
• it can be washed easily and dries quickly, while real lambskin requires considerable, lengthy maintenance;
• trapped sand comes out easily out of the loose, soft wide knit, minimising the risk of abrasions to the leg;
• it is more comfortable and a cosier fit than natural lambskin;
• it stays looking good for longer, while real lambskin tends to dry out, become stiff and turn yellow.
Sizing Guideline
To choose the right size, it is necessary to measure the circumference of the front cannon bone. Take a tape measure and wrap it around the middle of the cannon bone without tightening too much to take the measurement.
|
Circumference of Front Cannon Bone |
| Small |
17 cm - 20 cm (6.5 to 9 inches) |
| Medium |
20 cm - 23 cm (9 to 10 inches) |
| Large |
Over 23 cm (over 10 inches) |
If you are buying protection for the hind legs, the measurement is normally taken on the front limb. It is in fact very uncommon that between front and rear legs, there is such a difference to require boots of different sizes.
Many people think that the protection must cover the entire deep flexor tendon even up to the carpus (the knee). Not only the part of the tendon most exposed to trauma is the lowest, but a protection that is too high would just bother the tendon when flexing, particularly during the jump.
