Tendon Boots for Horses

Tendon boots are crucial for protecting a horse’s tendons and joints during training and competition. They provide essential support and help prevent injuries by reducing impact and friction. Three popular brands in tendon boots are Veredus, Kentucky and Eskadron. These brands are of course also included in the Horse Riders Classics range. Each of these brands has its own features and benefits, allowing riders to make an informed choice based on their needs and preferences.

Veredus: Innovation and Performance

Veredus is known for its technological innovations and high-quality products. Veredus tendon boots combine advanced technology with top-quality materials, resulting in excellent protection and comfort for the horse.

Veredus tendon boots are characterized by:

- D-Techno Fabric: Many Veredus tendon boots are made from D-Techno material, which is known for its breathability and shock absorption. This material helps regulate the temperature around the tendons and prevents overheating.
- Carbon and Kevlar: Veredus often uses carbon and Kevlar reinforcements in their tendon boots to provide extra protection without compromising flexibility and comfort.
- Anatomical Fit: The tendon boots are designed with an anatomical fit that adapts to the contours of the horse's leg, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum freedom of movement.

Kentucky: Comfort and Durability

Kentucky is a brand known for its focus on comfort and durability. Kentucky tendon boots are designed with the horse's well-being in mind and offer an excellent combination of protection and ease of use.

Features of Kentucky Tendon Boots:

- Bamboo: Kentucky bamboo tendon boots are a relatively new innovation in equestrian sports, gaining attention for their unique combination of durability, comfort and eco-friendliness.

They provide robust protection against impact and shock, while being lighter than some other materials.
In addition, the material is Breathable and Absorbent: Bamboo fibers have natural breathable and moisture absorbing properties, helping to keep the horse's legs dry and comfortable. This helps to prevent overheating and skin irritations.
