Why riders choose these boots
Built with a focus on protection, comfort, and durability, they balance airflow with barrier against insects. Subtle plaid-inspired accents add a touch of visual interest without compromising performance, helping you feel prepared for warm-weather riding.
Key Benefits
- Insect protection: helps deter flies and biting pests from reaching the horse’s legs, potentially reducing irritation during rides.
- Stay-up technology: designed to hold its shape and stay in place through walking, trotting, and more energetic gaits.
- Three adjustable closures: offers a snug, customizable fit from top to bottom to accommodate different leg shapes.
- Durable, UV-resistant fabric: Textilene is formulated to resist fading, mildew, soiling, and wear, while blocking a portion of UV rays.
- Visible protection in a bright color: Blue Ice not only looks sporty but helps with leg visibility in mixed light conditions.
Material & Construction
The boots use Textilene fabric to strike a balance between durability and airflow. They’re 78% air permeable, which helps keep legs cooler on warm days, and offer 73% UV resistance for sun-exposed rides. A thick fleece trim wraps the leg and conceals a discreet plastic stay, helping the boot maintain upright alignment while remaining comfortable against the skin.
Fit & How to Use
To apply, slide the boot over the leg, align the fleece trim, and fasten the three hook-and-loop closures from top to bottom. The stay-up design and secure fasteners are intended to keep the boot in place as your horse moves through various gaits and activities.
Size, Care & Longevity
Sold in pairs, this oversize option is tailored for larger-leg horses while preserving a secure wrap. For care, rinse after use, air dry away from direct heat, and regularly check fasteners for wear or looseness to maintain performance over time.
Quality & Assurance
Kensington products undergo rigorous inspections at the Southern California facility. The combination of tested materials and thoughtful construction is intended to provide dependable protection and lasting value for seasons of riding.
