The Welltex® technology confers therapeutic properties to functional materials without making them heat-insulating. All horse boots are especially conceived to maintain breathability, in order to keep the horse's legs cool at all times and reduce the risk of overheating.

The very make-up of the horse's lower legs results in the tendons being subjected to a lot of strain. There is no more supporting tissue surrounding the joints and tendons than what is absolutely necessary to maintain their primary function: resilience and elasticity. Consequently, tendon injuries are among the most common afflictions in horses and often require prolonged rest to heal.

Leg protection can make a big difference by shielding and supporting the most vulnerable parts and by absorbing the forces of impacts and blows. In addition, good leg protectors provide increased stability to both tendons and joints, reducing the risk of them being overstretched, overused or incorrectly loaded.

Essential protection during work

Our Brush Boots, Exercise Boots, Knee Braces and Hock Boots provide efficient protection and support during work and training. They are user friendly, mould to the horse's leg and close with hook & loop straps for easy attachment. The Welltex® technology stimulates circulation and blood flow locally - while the high breathability prevents overheating.

Our Brush Boots cover the inside of the pastern joints and bones with an impact-resistant outer shell over a shock-absorbing, pressure-relieving layer of foam. The boots are well ventilated, highly breathable and designed for maximum freedom of movement.

The Exercise Boots have an ergonomic fit and offer stable protection for tendons and joints from the cannon down to the hooves. The sturdy material surrounds the pastern and stabilises the heavily loaded tendons. Mouldable foam on the inside absorbs the forces of impact and distributes pressure.

Our classic pads (Scandic PK Pad) are used when wrapping the legs. They are soft, protective and provide the same Welltex® effect. They are channel-sewn to allow air to circulate and have a terry cloth surface to make them easy to use under bandages, while maintaining a snug fit.

The knee braces and hock boots cover and embrace the carpal joints and hocks respectively. They are anatomically well-fitting and protects all the small bones, connective tissue, muscle attachment and tendons of these highly complex and important joints. The hock boots are available both with and without hole for the hock points.

Care and support

The Welltex® effect may alleviate discomfort and prevent the occurrence of strained tendons, inflammation, swelling and windgalls. It can also help reduce stiffness, increase mobility and improve the over-all wellbeing of horses suffering from osteoarthritis. Infrared energy has been shown to exert a therapeutic effect on biological tissues by contributing to good blood circulation and thus providing better conditions for the body's own healing processes.

The pads provide protection and support during exercise but can also be of assistance during box rest and recovery – exactly because of the mineral-containing material’s ability to promote blood flow. They can also be used during transport.
