Premier Equine Armorx Tendon Boots for Horses
Description
Premier Equine Armorx Tendon Boots — Ventilated Impact Protection for Sport Horses
The Premier Equine Armorx Tendon Boots are front leg boots that combine a double-density impact shell with breathable Air-Tech ventilated neoprene, giving protection over the tendon without trapping heat. They are best for showjumpers, event horses and any horse in fast work, gridwork or high-intensity schooling where strikes and knocks are a real risk.
Compared with a basic neoprene tendon boot, the Armorx adds a shock-absorbing inner layer, exterior silicone air vents and Flex-Tech zones that follow the natural biomechanics of the leg, so the horse keeps freedom of movement while the tendon stays covered. You can see the full range of protective legwear in our horse boots collection.
Key Features
- Double-density outer shell — robust impact resistance across the tendon area
- Shock-absorbing inner layer — reduces the effects of knocks and strikes during jumping and fast work
- Air-Tech ventilated neoprene with spacer mesh — helps prevent heat build-up under the boot
- Exterior silicone air vents — further improve airflow while the horse is working
- Comfort Dry Lining (CDL) — close-contact fit with a soft, durable surface against the skin
- Flex-Tech zones — follow the leg's natural movement for unrestricted motion
- Elastic straps and quick-release clips — quick to put on and take off in the yard or at a competition

How to Use
- Brush the leg clean and dry before fitting — grit under a boot can rub.
- Place the boot on the front leg so the shell sits over the back of the cannon bone, covering the tendon.
- Fasten the elastic straps from the top down, working evenly so the boot sits level.
- Check the tension: you should be able to slide a finger between the boot and the leg, and the boot should not rotate.
- Remove the boots after work using the quick-release clips, then brush off mud and allow the legs to cool.
FAQ
Are Armorx boots for the front or hind legs?
The Armorx Tendon Boots are shaped for the front legs and are supplied as a pair. Tendon boots protect the back of the cannon bone from strikes by the hind feet.
Will they make my horse's legs hot?
They are built to limit heat build-up. Air-Tech ventilated neoprene, spacer mesh and exterior silicone air vents keep air moving, while the Comfort Dry Lining sits against the skin. As with any boot, remove them after work so the legs can cool.
How should tendon boots fit?
The shell should cover the tendon behind the cannon bone, with the boot secure enough that it cannot twist but loose enough to slide a finger underneath. If your horse is between sizes, measure the cannon bone length and check the Premier Equine size guide — the wrong length is the most common reason boots are returned.
Can I use them for schooling as well as jumping?
Yes. They suit competition, schooling and everyday training, including gridwork and fast work on the gallops.
How do I clean them?
Let mud dry and brush it off, then hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Rinse well, reshape and air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry.
When should I replace them?
Check the shell, straps and clips regularly. Replace boots that are cracked, split, permanently compressed or no longer fasten securely.
