Woof Wear Club Brushing Boot Black XL

Woof Wear Club Brushing Boot – Black, Extra Large

Extra Large is the top of the Club Brushing Boot range, and on Woof Wear's own chart it appears only as a hind size: the hind legs of large horses of 16.3hh and over. Hind legs are longer and heavier-boned than front legs on the same horse, which is why a 17hh horse can wear a Large in front and need this XL behind.

The construction is the same throughout the range — a 7mm neoprene base carrying a toughened vinyl and PU strike pad on the inside face, closed with Woof Wear's Secure-Grip hook and loop straps. The pad sits over the fetlock and lower cannon and absorbs the strike from the opposite hoof. Supplied as a pair.

Performance & Benefits

• Cut long and wide enough for the hind cannon of a big horse, where a Large rides up and gapes.
• Toughened vinyl and PU strike pad on the inside face, taking the blow from the opposite hind hoof.
• 7mm neoprene base for padding that spreads an impact rather than concentrating it.
• Low water retention, so the boots stay light through a wet session rather than filling up.
• Secure-Grip hook and loop straps, long enough to close properly on a heavy limb.
• Machine washable at 30°C.

Suitable For

• Hind legs on horses of 16.3hh and over.
• Heavy-boned warmbloods, drafts and big Irish types that outgrow a Large behind.
• Schooling, hacking, lungeing and turnout.
• Horses that brush behind and mark the inside of the opposite fetlock.
• Not a hock boot and not a tendon boot — it gives no support and no hock cover.
• Oversized for front legs on almost any horse. On the front, Woof Wear's chart tops out at Large; buy the Woof Wear Club Brushing Boot in Large for the fronts of a 16.3hh-plus horse.

How to Use

• Fit with the strike pad against the inside of the hind leg, straps fastening front to back and outwards.
• Sit the top edge below the hock so the boot cannot catch or chafe as the hock flexes.
• Check the boot cannot be turned by hand, then check you can still slide a finger under the top edge.
• Close all straps before washing. Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle spin with non-biological detergent.
• Do not tumble dry and do not leave in strong sunlight.

Specification

• 7mm neoprene base with a toughened vinyl and PU strike pad.
• Secure-Grip hook and loop fastening.
• Size Extra Large, the largest of six: XS, Small, Medium, Medium Extra Wide, Large, XL.

• Supplied as a pair. Woof Wear reference 1011787.
• Woof Wear publish their brushing boot size guide as a chart image rather than as text and give no cannon circumference or boot length figures, so none are quoted here.

Care & Caution

• Grit trapped under a hind boot rubs quickly, and a hind leg is the one you look at least. Turn the boots out and check the skin after every use.
• Neoprene holds heat. These are for working and turnout in, not for leaving on day and night.
• Stop using the boot if the strike pad has split or the hook and loop no longer holds — a boot that rotates does more harm than none at all.
