More Information 

What is the inspiration behind the Stretch & Flex Wraps?

A horse called Timmy was the inspiration behind these innovative support wraps. Timmy had extremely sensitive skin, which were rubbed by other boots. He needed something soft and comfortable, but also something suitable to keep his legs protected, cool and allow him to move freely when dressage training. As a result, the Stretch & Flex Wraps were born!

What are the materials used in the Stretch & Flex Wraps?

Stomatex: Originally developed for human athletes, Stomatex® was designed to provide four-way stretch, to enable use around mobile joints, and an outstanding ability to keep the skin dry. It is commonly used in the manufacture of heat acclimatisation suits, padding for wheelchairs, special wetsuits and sports injury support bandages. The material mimics the way a leaf ‘breathes’, which allows the horses leg to stay cool and maintains an ideal skin temperature over an extended period of time. The way the material works is by efficiently moving trapped vapour molecules from beneath the fabric by the flexing action of minute dome shaped chambers which contain a tiny pore in the centre. This also gives it it’s unique appearance. 

Automotive Grade Cushioning Spacer Mesh: This mesh is strategically placed over the inside of the cannon bone for extra protection. The spacer fabric has an additional jersey fabric on the inside of the boot to create an even softer lining against your horses’ leg. Ideal to act as a ‘cushion’ and comfortable to wear, the spacer fabric is also fantastic at letting heat and moisture pass through easily to get sweat and warmth away from the skin. 

 

Who are the Stretch & Flex Schooling Wraps for?

Primarily designed for schooling or a smart, comfortable, and protective competition boot, Stretch and Flex Wraps are shaped to fit comfortably around the contours of the horse’s leg making them ideal for horses with knocks, scars or splints. 

The stretch fabrics and boot construction means your horse can move with ease, and so the boots are popular for flatwork, including lateral or advanced movements. 

How do I care for the Stretch & Flex Wraps?

The boots can be washed off with a rinse from the hose or if needing a slightly more thorough wash, they are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius.  Leave them to air dry away from a direct heat source and they will be dry and ready to use in no time! 

Why use these schooling wraps?

Offering an alternative to bandages, these support boots are not only easy to put on, but breathable and comfortable for your horse too. Available in two different styles giving you the choice of added fetlock coverage with the Training Wraps, or a brushing boot design with the Flatwork Wraps, the boots feature a unique material that allows a close, comfortable, and flexible fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material makes the Stretch & Flex Flatwork Wrap breathable?
The outer layer uses Stomatex, a material originally developed for human athletes. It features minute dome-shaped chambers with a tiny pore in the centre that actively pump trapped vapour away from the leg as the horse moves, mimicking the way a leaf breathes to keep the leg cool and maintain an ideal skin temperature.
What is the cushioning material used over the cannon bone?
Automotive Grade Cushioning Spacer Mesh is strategically placed over the inside of the cannon bone for extra protection. It has an additional jersey fabric on the inside to create a softer lining against the horse's leg, and it allows heat and moisture to pass through easily.
Are the Flatwork Wraps suitable for horses with sensitive skin?
Yes. The design was directly inspired by a horse called Timmy who had extremely sensitive skin and was rubbed by other boots. The soft inner jersey lining was specifically designed with sensitive horses in mind.

Yes, the wraps can be worn on front or hind legs as required.
How do I wash the Stretch & Flex Flatwork Wraps?
