Typical of the Belgian brand are light TPU shells with ventilation holes, breathable 3D Spacer lining and models with vegan faux fur. Here you will find all Kentucky boots and fetlock boots, from competition models to boots for Shetland ponies.

On the Bamboo models, the tendon area is additionally reinforced with a bamboo shield. You can choose between an elastic fastening (Elastic) and a hook-and-loop fastening (Velcro). The Deep fetlock boot extends further down.
Moonboots

Cross-country boots
The Air Tech cross-country boots have very small ventilation holes and do not absorb water, so they stay light even across country. The 3D Air Flow models have three layers with EVA foam and a 2 mm TPU hard shell, also as a short version and as Skin-Friendly for sensitive horses.

For training and everyday use there are brushing boots in 3D Spacer and Air as well as working boots made of waterproof Solimbra fabric or faux leather, lined with faux sheepskin and EVA.

Most models come in S, M and L, some also as Shetland, Warmblood or XS. Front and hind models are often sold separately, so look for “front” and “hind” in the name.
