Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse's front and hind legs?
A: To ensure a perfect fit, we recommend following the "One Size Up" rule. Horses typically require one size larger for their hind legs than their front legs (for example, Cob for the front and Full for the hind) to accommodate the larger bone and joint circumference of the hind cannons.

Q: Are these boots suitable for horses with sensitive skin?
A: Yes, the Shires ARMA boots feature recessed stitching and soft bound edges specifically designed to prevent chafing and rubbing. For the best results, ensure you can fit two fingers between the boot and the leg to maintain circulation while preventing the boot from slipping.
