Woof Wear Reflective Club Brushing Boot Lime XL

Woof Wear Reflective Club Boot – Hi Vis Lime, Extra Large

Extra Large is the top of this range, and on Woof Wear's brushing boot chart XL appears only as a hind size — the hind legs of large horses of 16.3hh and over. A hind leg is longer and heavier in the bone than a front leg on the same horse, so a big horse can quite correctly wear a Large in front and an XL behind.

The visibility comes from the straps: fluorescent hi vis lime with reflective banding, so the boots show up in daylight and again in headlights. Underneath, it is the standard Club Boot build — a 7mm neoprene base with a padded PU strike pad over the inside face. Supplied as a pair.

Performance & Benefits

• Cut long and wide enough for the hind cannon of a big horse, where a Large gapes at the top.
• Fluorescent lime straps with reflective banding, low on the leg where movement catches the eye first.
• Padded PU strike pad over the inside of the hind fetlock and cannon.
• 7mm neoprene base for impact spread without excessive bulk.
• 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, big Irish types and drafts that outgrow a Large behind.
• Road hacking, winter schooling and early or late exercise in poor light.
• Horses that brush behind and mark the inside of the opposite fetlock.
• Oversized for front legs — Woof Wear's front sizing stops at Large, so buy the Large for the fronts of the same horse.
• Not a hock boot and not a tendon boot; it gives no support and no hock cover.

How to Use

• Fit with the strike pad against the inside of the hind leg, straps fastening front to back and outwards.
• Keep the top edge below the point of the hock so it cannot chafe as the hock flexes.
• Check the boot will not turn by hand, then check a finger still slides 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 keep out of strong sunlight, which fades fluorescent dye quickly.

Care & Caution

• Hind legs get looked at least. Turn the boots out, wash the grit off and check the skin every time they come off.
• Neoprene holds heat. Use them for work and turnout, not around the clock.
• Mud kills reflectivity. Keep them clean, and treat hi vis as one layer of visibility rather than the whole answer.
