Why Bamboo Shield?

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world with enormous wear resistance and avoids penetration by sharp objects. The material is also antibacterial.

The boots are made of a strong TPU shell with multiple ventilation holes. The tendon area is reinforced with Kentucky's bamboo shield to avoid penetration. Where the horse bends its leg, Kentucky has added a soft natural rubber piece to avoid friction.

The inner part of the boots is reinforced with an extra layer of TPU to maintain high resistance to wear from the horse's legs hitting each other.

Kentucky has created its own internal test machine that creates a fall force of 80N down on a horizontal horse leg with a razor-sharp axe. Their bamboo shield shows extremely strong protection that cannot be compared to any real impact the horse may be exposed to during riding.

The boots are also Rico test approved and RCT certified.

Fabrics & materials:

Bamboo Shield boots are made with Kentucky's highly breathable and well-known 3D Spacer lining used in their popular 3D spacer turnout boots and blanket. They have a robust outer shell made of lightweight yet strong TPU shell, with an extra bamboo insert at the tendon for optimal protection against impacts and penetration by sharp objects and are also antibacterial.

Shape and size:

Thanks to the anatomically shaped design, the boots fit nicely around the horse's leg to provide maximum comfort and best protection. This allows the horse maximum freedom of movement to jump better. The soft and flexible rubber insert under the joint also gives the horse better comfort in its movements. The boots are available in sizes S, M, and L.

Care instructions:

The boots can be machine washed at 30°C (no tumble dryer). We always recommend using a wash bag to avoid scratches. You can easily use Kentucky's boot cleaner, specially developed for TPU boots, to give the boots the best chance to look like new.
