Stübben Hybrid Fetlock Boots Fleece Black – 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 with fetlock boots. But which fetlock boots offer sufficient freedom of movement, protection, and good ventilation?
The black Hybrid Fetlock Boots Fleece from the Stübben Evolution series offer your horse highly functional protection through an innovative design that is adapted to the horse's anatomy, ensuring horse-friendly comfort.

Soft Fleece Lining: The Ideal Solution for Sensitive Horse Legs

The Stübben Evolution fetlock boots, lined with soft fleece, are particularly suitable for sensitive horses. The beige fleece is designed not to be bulky, allowing the usual fit and size to be chosen. Friction is minimized, and the fleece, with its fur-like appearance, caresses the horse's leg. Visually, the light fleece provides a beautiful contrast to the black outer shell. Elegant and functional for your daily training, competitions, or rides.

Fetlock Protection for Horses: Hard Shell Meets Flexibility

When working and training with poles, the tendons, joints, and sensitive legs of horses must be protected against potential 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 encloses the fetlock joint with adapted padding. This way, your horse's fetlock joint has full freedom of movement in every gait, as well as during the take-off before the jump, when bending the horse's legs over the jump, and not least during landing after the jump.

Thanks to this high flexibility, these boots caress the horse's leg, and the breathable, soft fleece pads the fetlock 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 that are unpleasant and unnecessary for horses. The well-designed fetlock boots from Stübben offer constant ventilation through a ventilation system with vents at the fetlock joint. Conventional boots often have no ventilation system at all or an inadequate one. The Evolution Hybrid Fetlock Boots stand for hard-shell protection and flexion without restricting or even disturbing your horse's natural movements.

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 fur: Always apply the boots in the direction of hair growth to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit – never against the grain.
  
• Correct position and closure: The closures should face forward and be on the outside of the leg. Close them securely, but not too tightly, to ensure comfort and 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 carefully 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.
