FAQs About Knee & Hock Boots
When should I use knee boots vs hock boots
Knee boots protect the front knees from knocks and interference. Hock boots protect the hind hock joint, useful for stable time, travel or light work.
How do I choose the right size
Measure around the joint and compare with the brand size guide. The boot should be snug without pinching and should not restrict movement.
Can these boots be used for turnout
Some styles are turnout-ready with durable, weather-resistant materials. Check the product description. Stable-only designs are best kept for box rest or travel.
How long should cooling boots be used
Typical sessions are 15 to 20 minutes per leg, following manufacturer instructions. Avoid prolonged continuous use and always monitor your horse.
How can I prevent rubbing
Choose lined options for sensitive skin, fit the boot evenly and ensure legs are clean and dry before application. Remove and air legs after use.
How do I clean and care for the boots
Brush off dirt, then hand wash or wipe according to the label. Fasten straps before washing and air dry away from direct heat to preserve materials.
