PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description:
Horse tendons are extremely fragile and prone to injury. Due to many tendon boots, the tendons get too hot or the tendon boots are too tight. We understand the importance of protective, yet comfortable fit. Discover our self-developed XO2-Boot! An innovative design, based on extensive research into the anatomy of the horse's leg and made with a unique mold developed by BR. The result is a must-have tendon boot that provides optimal protection, absorbs shocks and keeps the horse's leg as cool as possible.
Product features:
Form-Follows-Function:
The XO2 Boot has been developed according to the Form-Follows-Function principle and gives your horse the perfect protection without compromising on comfort. The protector fits seamlessly on the horse's leg and only covers the horse's leg where it is needed. The shell is subtly thickened on the back and on the sides of the fetlock so that the horse's leg is optimally protected in those important places.
Outside:
The unique thing about the shell is that it is anatomically shaped after the horse's leg. As a result, the protector fits seamlessly on the leg. The unique shape of the shell provides protection where needed, but also ensures that the protector is lighter than other protectors, up to 10%! This also keeps the horse unhindered freedom of movement, so your horse never has the feeling that the protectors are in the way!
The shell is hard to protect well, but at the same time very flexible so that the shell forms nicely around the horse's leg. The cleverly placed ventilation holes ensure that the tendon stays cool.
Lining:
The protector is lined with our specially developed Air Liner, a thermo-formed liner. The composition of the material gives the lining optimal properties. The lining gives an extra shock-absorbing effect because of the air that accumulates in the spaces created by the composition of the material. During the shock/impact, the air pushes out through the extremely breathable lining and the ventilation holes. This way your horse is optimally protected against shocks.
Shackles:
The right shackles are also extremely important. If the protector is too loose, it can cause chafing, but if the protector is too tight, it can impede blood flow. The straps of the fasteners are slightly elastic and equipped with hook and eye closures so that the tendon boot can always be secured in the right place. They shape with the curve of the shell for a streamlined whole and a snug fit.
