Protect your horse’s performance and long-term soundness with the ultimate defense against impact without the risk of dangerous heat buildup. The Shires ARMA Air Motion Brushing Boots combine high-tech ARMORTEX® strike pads with a revolutionary 3D mesh to keep legs cool, dry, and fully shielded during every ride.

Engineered for the high-performance athlete, these boots replace traditional, heat-trapping neoprene with an advanced Air Motion honeycomb fabric. This innovative material creates a cooling microclimate, actively wicking moisture away from the tendons while the ergonomically shaped strike pads absorb shock from knocks and brushing, ensuring your horse stays comfortable from the arena to the cross-country course.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I get the correct fit for my horse?
A: These boots are known to run generously large in height. We recommend the "Step-Down" rule: most riders choose Cob for front legs and Full for hind legs on standard horses (15.2hh–16.2hh). Always ensure you can fit two fingers under the straps for a snug yet comfortable fit.

Q: Are these boots better for my horse’s legs than traditional neoprene?
A: Yes. Unlike neoprene, which can trap heat and potentially damage tendons, the Air Motion fabric creates a cooling microclimate. This makes them ideal for horses prone to heat buildup or for use in warm weather and intense training sessions.

Q: Can these boots be used for turnout?
A: Absolutely. Their durable construction and quick-drying properties make them excellent for field use, as they won't become heavy when wet or cause the skin irritation often associated with soggy, non-breathable boots.
