Premier Equine Armorx Lite Fetlock Boots for Horses
Description
Premier Equine Armorx Lite Fetlock Boots
The Premier Equine Armorx Lite Fetlock Boots are slimline hind boots designed specifically to meet young horse class regulations, combining a double-density outer shell with a shock-absorbing inner layer. They are best for riders competing young horses under boot restrictions, and for anyone who wants breathable, close-contact fetlock protection for daily schooling.
Air-Tech ventilated neoprene with spacer mesh and exterior silicone air vents work together to prevent heat build-up around the tendons, while Flex-Tech zones let the fetlock joint move freely through flatwork, pole work and jumping. Browse more leg protection in our horse boots collection.

- Position the shell over the outside of the fetlock joint, with the straps facing outwards.
- Fasten the double-lock Velcro straps front to back, working from the top strap down.
- Check the fit by sliding a finger between the boot and the leg; it should be snug but not tight.
- Remove the boots after work, brush off dirt and clear hair from the Velcro.
- Allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat before the next use.
FAQ
Are these boots suitable for young horse classes?
Yes. The Armorx Lite Fetlock Boots are designed specifically to meet young horse class regulations, including the double-lock Velcro strap fastening. Always check the current rules for your discipline and governing body before you compete.
Are they front or hind boots?
They are fetlock boots for the hind legs, shielding the hind legs from knocks and scrapes during training or competition. They are sold as a pair.
Will they make my horse's legs hot?
Air-Tech ventilated neoprene with spacer mesh and exterior silicone air vents are used to prevent heat build-up and help keep the tendon area cool during work.
What size should I choose?
Choose the size that matches your horse's build and leg length rather than height alone. A boot that is too large can rotate in work, while one that is too small will pinch, so if you are between sizes consider a lighter-boned horse in the smaller size and a chunkier cob or warmblood in the larger.
How do I clean them?
Brush or rinse off mud, wipe the Comfort Dry Lining, clear hair from the Velcro so it keeps gripping, and dry the boots naturally away from radiators or direct heat.
Can they be used for jumping and flatwork?
Yes. Flex-Tech zones allow unrestricted movement of the fetlock, so the boots can be used for schooling, pole work and jumping as well as competition.
