Stübben Hybrid Fetlock Boots Brown – Maximum Leg Protection for Hind Legs

Leg protection for your horse is essential in show jumping, gymnastic jumping, and cavaletti training. The hind legs, specifically the fetlock joint, also need to be protected by fetlock boots. But which fetlock boots offer sufficient freedom of movement, protection, and good ventilation?
The brown Hybrid Fetlock Boots from the Stübben Evolution series offer your horse highly functional protection through an innovative design that is adapted to the horse's anatomy, thus ensuring horse-friendly comfort.

Fetlock Joint Protection for Horses: Hard Shell Meets Flexibility

During work and training with poles, the tendons, joints, and sensitive legs of horses must be protected against possible collisions, "brushing" of the hind legs, and impacts. The Stübben Hybrid Fetlock Boots, with their revolutionary hard-shell design, offer reliable protection for the tendons and fetlock joints of the hind legs with maximum freedom of movement, comfort, and constant ventilation.

What is the difference to conventional hard-shell fetlock boots?

The functional cut of the Hybrid Fetlock Boots encompasses the fetlock joint with adapted padding. In this way, your horse's fetlock joint has full freedom of movement in every gait, as well as during takeoff before the jump, when flexing the horse's legs over the jump, and not least when landing after the jump.

Due to this high flexibility, these boots gently embrace the horse's leg, and the breathable, soft mesh lining pads the boots. Thus, the Hybrid Fetlock Boots have a "hard" shell with a "soft" innovative core!

Optimal Ventilation without Chafing

Conventional fetlock boots in show jumping are immobile and rigid, allowing little space and flexibility for the movement of the fetlock joints. This can lead to chafing and unnecessary pressure points, which are unpleasant and unnecessary for horses. Stübben's well-designed fetlock boots offer constant ventilation through a ventilation system with vents at the fetlock joint. Conventional boots often have no or insufficient ventilation systems. The Evolution Hybrid Fetlock Boots stand for hard-shell protection and flexion, without restricting or even disturbing your horse's natural movements.

The brown Hybrid Fetlock Boots from Stübben's Evolution series can be particularly well combined with brown leather and light as well as earthy tones. Brown is a classic in equestrian sports.

Instructions for use:

• Check inner lining before applying: Ensure the lining is clean, dry, and free of sand or dirt to prevent skin irritation or chafing.
  
• Apply in the direction of the coat: Always apply the boots in the direction of hair growth to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit – never against the grain.
  
• Correct position and fastening: The fasteners should point forwards and be on the outside of the leg. Close them securely, but not too tightly, to ensure comfort and blood circulation.
• Check fit: Make sure the boots sit evenly and correctly on the leg to allow for optimal protection and full freedom of movement.

Care instructions: After use, the fetlock boots can be carefully cleaned of dirt and sand with a very soft brush or sponge. For heavy soiling, the boots can be gently hand-washed or machine-washed at low temperatures in a laundry bag on a delicate cycle, without bleach, without spinning. Air dry. Not suitable for tumble drying.
