This is my second Da Brim and it has lasted me 10 years and provides great sun protection and stays in place in windy conditions. I gave my husband my original as it still functions

Description
Woof Wear Mud Fever Boots - sold as a pair
- An innovative breathable boot which seals the leg from the knee to the base of the heel to prevent mud getting onto your horse’s legs, enabling freedom of turnout whatever the conditions.
- Featuring a waterproof and breathable fabric around the cannon bone to prevent overheating and a close-fitting hoof capsule with Kevlar reinforced heel protection, these innovative boots will keep legs clean and dry.
- A shaped PU strike pad also offers brushing protection for your horse’s legs.
Some useful tips to remember when dealing with mud fever:
- Never scratch the scabs, this can lead to further infection
- Use a mild anti-bacterial shampoo for cleansing and then ensure the leg is as dry as possible before applying any appropriate creams for healing overnight
- Clean your grooming brushes regularly as they can harbour bacteria if not kept clean
- Don’t use dirty horse boots it can cause unnecessary and totally avoidable rubs
- Don’t share horse boots, this is to help prevent the spread of any bacteria or other nasties
- Wash your own hands after cleaning any mud fever infected area, we recommend using gloves where possible
Features:
- A fully breathable boot designed to encourage cool air to circulate
- Creates a protective barrier from below the knee
- Abrasion-resistant Kevlar® to protect the delicate bulbs of the heels
- Suitable for front and hind legs
- Machine washable at 30 degree
Fitting:
- Open boot completely
- Put it around the leg and do up the top strap securely ensuring the vertical hook and loop section is located down the front of the leg
- Adjust the neoprene around the hoof to ensure the bulbs of the heel are covered. Pull tightly and overlap the hook and loop on the neoprene. When satisfied with the fit, smooth over the top securing straps. Then close the hook and loop strip down the front of the cannon bone
- Lastly, adjust the middle strap so that the material is gathered neatly but not tight against the leg. The purpose of this strap is to hold the excess material close to the leg, it is not a support strap for the boot.

NOTE: It is important that the neoprene around the hoof overlaps fully so the hook and loop fixture is locked in place over a large surface area. If this is not the case we recommend going up a size.

- size medium suitable for 14.2hh - 15.1 hh on front and hind legs or size full horse 15.2hh - 16.2 hh on front legs

Richard H. (Sydney, AU) these work well in covering the lower leg and hoof/pastern area, but the sizing is small and a tight fit. Would advise then larger size when ordering. Delivery service is great and the price is reasonable
