Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 'Save the Sheep' techno sheepskin lining, and is it cruelty free?
Yes. The techno sheepskin used in the Veredus Safety Bell Boot STS is part of their 'Save the Sheep' line. It is a man-made fabric completely free from animal derivatives, making it cruelty free while mimicking the comfort of natural lambskin.
What practical advantages does the techno sheepskin offer over real lambskin?
According to Veredus, the techno sheepskin washes easily and dries quickly, whereas real lambskin requires lengthy maintenance. Trapped sand also releases easily from the loose, soft wide knit, reducing the risk of abrasions. It is also said to stay looking good for longer, as real lambskin can dry out, stiffen, and turn yellow over time.
Which part of the horse does the Safety Bell Boot STS specifically protect?
It is designed to protect the entire heel area, with particular focus on the front heel bulbs - described by Veredus as one of the most delicate parts of the horse. It guards against accidental impacts from the hind shoe, especially during the landing phase of a jump.
How does the boot stay in place on the hoof?
The Safety Bell Boot STS features a Velcro closure and is designed to remain well positioned and stable on the hoof, while still allowing freedom of movement and flexibility.
Does the boot have any shock-absorbing properties?
Yes. Veredus lists a shock absorber function as a feature of the Safety Bell Boot STS, alongside flexibility and comfort.
