Waldhausen Basic Plus Brushing Boots - Everyday Leg Protection
The Waldhausen Basic Plus Brushing Boots are a pair of soft, easycare brushing boots designed to protect a horse's lower legs from knocks and brushing injuries. They suit riders who want dependable, simple protection for daily exercise, schooling and competition, and are especially useful for horses that strike one leg against the other.
An inner spoon-shaped shell shields the vulnerable inside of the leg, while extra strong hook and loop fasteners keep the boots securely in place throughout work. The soft outer material wipes clean easily, making them practical for busy yards.

How to Use
- Brush the horse's legs clean and dry before fitting, so grit is not trapped against the skin.
- Position the boot so the spoon-shaped shell sits over the inside of the leg, covering the fetlock area.
- Fasten the straps from the top downwards, keeping even tension on each one.
- Check the fit by sliding a finger between the boot and the leg - snug, but never tight.
- Remove the boots after work, brush or wipe off mud and allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat.
FAQ
What are brushing boots used for?
Brushing boots protect the lower leg from injury when one leg strikes the other, which often happens in trot, on tight turns or when a horse is unbalanced. They are best for schooling, lungeing, hacking and warming up at competitions.
Are these boots sold as a pair?
Yes, the Waldhausen Basic Plus Brushing Boots are supplied as a pair.
How should brushing boots fit?
They should sit snugly around the cannon bone with the shell over the inside of the leg. You should be able to slide one finger between the boot and the leg. If your horse is between sizes or has a wide cannon bone, choose the larger size to avoid pinching.
Can these boots be used for turnout?
They are intended for exercise rather than prolonged turnout. Boots left on for long periods can trap heat, moisture and grit, so remove them after work.
How do I clean them?
Brush off dried mud, wipe the boots with a damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat. Avoid radiators, which can harden the material and weaken the fastenings.
When should brushing boots be replaced?
Replace them if the shell cracks, the outer material splits or the hook and loop fastenings no longer grip firmly, as the boots will no longer hold position securely.
