Measures for the Easyboot
It is important that you measure the hoof length as well as the hoof width to find the optimal size for your Easyboot. The front-hooves of most horses are rounder and wider than the rear-hooves in the normal case. For an optimal fit of the hind hooves we recommend the next smaller size than the front hooves.
-Measure the width of the hoof at the furthest point -> hoof width
-Measure the length of the hoof from the foremost point (toe) to the rearmost point (heel) -> Hoof Length
If your measurements do not match one size, we recommend the next larger model.

PONY = 78 - 85mm hoof width / 85 - 92mm hoof length
000 = 86 - 97mm hoof width / 93 - 105mm hoof length
00 = 98 - 110mm hoof width / 106 - 117mm hoof length

Polyurethane is often an important component of synthetic textile fibres. One such fibre is elastane, which consists of polyurethane and polyethylene glycol. These two components are responsible for the fibre's characteristic properties. The outstanding property of this fibre is its high stretchability, which increases the fit and comfort of the garments.

Neoprene is a foamed material made from synthetic rubber. The rubber-like material is manufactured in different thicknesses and material densities (the thicker the warmer, the foamier the more flexible, but also more sensitive).Of course, the fit and functionality are just as important as the material.

Lycra is a highly elastic synthetic fibre that belongs to the elastane group and is a protected brand. Lycra is only ever added to a main fibre in small proportions of between 18 and 25 per cent. Lycra (elastane) gives the fibre its length elasticity.

9. Kentucky Horsewear open horse gaiters in elastic bamboo

Since we're all about sustainability, we wanted to develop a new green technology that everyone knows about.
- Solid TPU shell with multiple air holes for optimal
ventilation and cooling.
- The tendon area is reinforced with bamboo to prevent penetration by sharp objects.
- The bamboo protection is antibacterial.
- Designed with an improved cut for maximum freedom of movement
- Highly breathable 3D Spacer lining for even greater comfort and breathability
- Rico-tested and RCT-certified
Why protect with bamboo?
Because we're committed to sustainable development, we wanted to develop a new green technology that everyone is familiar with.
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It has enormous tensile strength, prevents the penetration of sharp objects and is antibacterial.
Elastic Bamboo gaiters are made from a sturdy TPU shell with multiple ventilation holes in the tendon area and a large ventilation triangle.
The tendon area is reinforced with bamboo to prevent penetration.
Where the horse flexes, we've added a piece of soft natural rubber to prevent friction.
The inside of the gaiters is reinforced with an extra layer of TPU to resist abrasion.we've created our own in-house testing machine that creates a force of 80N when dropped on a horizontal horse leg with a razor-sharp axe. Our Bamboo shield horse gaiters withstand this extreme test method, which cannot be compared to any real impact during riding.
The gaiters are also Rico Test approved and RCT certified.
Fabrics and materials
Our Bamboo Shield front protectors are made from our well-known, highly breathable 3D Spacer lining, used in our closed gaiters and 3D Spacer horse blankets. They feature a robust TPU outer shell, both lightweight and durable, and an additional bamboo insert in the tendon area for optimum protection against impact and penetration by sharp objects, and are also antibacterial.
Shape and size
Thanks to their anatomical shape, gaiters adapt perfectly to the horse's leg, offering maximum comfort and protection. This gives the horse maximum freedom of movement for better jumping.
The soft, flexible rubber insert under the joint also offers the horse greater comfort of movement.
The gaiters are available in sizes S, M and L.
Care instructions
Gaiters are machine washable at 30°C (do not tumble dry). We always recommend using a wash bag to avoid scratches caused by washing. You can easily use our gaiter cleaner, specially designed for TPU protectors, to make your gaiters look like new even after use.

Material

The addition of plasticisers allows the hardness and toughness of PVC to be varied. It can be dyed well. PVC hardly absorbs any water and is resistant to acids, alkalis, ethanol, oil and petrol. The advantage of PVC, namely its durability, comes into play even when it is supposed to rot. Sunlight does not decompose it and the mechanical properties are not affected, which is why PVC is mainly used for durable products.
