Optimize your horse’s performance and safeguard their longevity with the Classic Equine Flexion SMB Sport Boots. Engineered as the premier choice for elite equine leg protection, these boots provide superior impact energy dissipation while allowing for the natural, fluid movement required in high-stakes competition.The Flexion series represents an evolution in SMB horse boots, featuring a distinct dual-system design. While the Legacy Cradle Fetlock System provides industry-leading fetlock support, the Flexion technology adds an extra layer of defense. Flexion utilizes individual abrasive-resistant cells that stretch and move independently, ensuring a contoured fit that mirrors your horse's anatomy while providing a rugged shield against interference and abrasions. Crafted from 100% virgin perforated neoprene, these boots are specifically designed to maximize airflow and prevent heat buildup, protecting sensitive soft tissue from thermal stress during intense workouts.Key Features & Specifications: Legacy Cradle Fetlock System: Provides critical suspensory support by wrapping further around the fetlock to protect vital ligaments and tendons from strain during stops, turns, and jumps. Flexion Technology: Individual cells on the fetlock cradle move independently, offering a precise, flush fit and unmatched defense against abrasive strikes. Impact Energy Dissipation: A reinforced splint pad and high-density materials provide elite shock absorption, protecting the cannon bone and soft tissue from high-impact injuries. Advanced Perforated Neoprene: The breathable body ensures rapid heat dissipation and moisture wicking, making these boots a leader in leg cooling technology. Sold in Pairs: These boots are packaged in pairs (two boots per pack) to ensure consistent protection for either the front or hind legs. Multi-Discipline Utility: Ideal for barrel racing, reining, cutting, show jumping, and any discipline requiring maximum equine leg protection.Sizing Guide:To ensure the most secure fit and effective support, measure the circumference of your horse's cannon bone at the widest point (midway between the knee and fetlock): Small: 7" – 8" circumference (Typically fits horses under 900 lbs) Medium: 8" – 9" circumference (Typically fits horses 900–1,100 lbs) Large: 9" – 10" circumference (Typically fits horses over 1,100 lbs) X-Large: Over 10" circumference (For heavy-boned horses)Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Are these boots sold individually or in pairs?A: Classic Equine Flexion SMB Sport Boots are sold in pairs. If you need to protect all four legs, you will need to purchase two pairs.Q: Why is the Cradle Fetlock System better than standard sport boots?A: Most boots offer protection but limited support. The Legacy Cradle Fetlock System is specifically engineered for fetlock support, reinforcing the suspensory apparatus to prevent overextension and fatigue during high-intensity maneuvers.Q: How does perforated neoprene benefit my horse?A: Heat is a leading cause of tissue breakdown in equine athletes. The perforated neoprene allows trapped heat to escape and fresh air to circulate, keeping the tendons at a safer operating temperature.Q: Do I need different sizes for the front and hind legs?A: Generally, the Classic Equine sizing is consistent; if your horse wears a Medium on the front, they will typically wear a Medium on the hind. However, always check the cannon bone circumference for the most accurate fit.Item Number/SKU: FCLS102BKS
