What inspired the Hardy Turnout Boots?

These tough turnout chaps were made as a result from a request from a popular dressage yard. As some competition yards do, the horses had limited turnout. So when the horses did go out, you can image they threw some shapes! Hardy Chaps were designed to help them enjoy their field time, safely!

The design of the Hardy Chaps.

What material is used in the Hardy Chaps Turnout Boots?

The 7mm neoprene, lined on the outside with a textured fabric and with polyester on the inside, is tough on the outside and comfortable on the inside protecting your horse from potential injury. The material is fast drying, so they are easy to wash mud off and dry for the following day.

Why do the Hardy Chaps fit so far down the leg.

For maximum coverage and protection, the Hardy Chaps extend from below the knee/hock all the way down to the coronet band. This means the correct size is essential to ensure the entire lower leg is protected.

Who are the Hardy Turnout Boots for?

These turnout boots are perfect for horse owners who would like to:

• Keep legs clean in the field
• Protect their horses’ legs against mud and wet in the field
• Help protect against leg injuries in the field
• Save time in their winter routine
• Keep their older horses’ legs and joints warmer in the winter months

Please note, these boots are not suitable for horses with a neoprene allergy. Please limit the time worn in warmer weather due to their thick material.

Caring for the Hardy Chaps:

Machine washable at 30 degrees, and quick to dry means they are easy to care for. However, for day to day, giving them a quick wash off once your horse has come in is best practice if they are particularly muddy. While they do dry quickly, having a second set on standby can help if the weather is particularly bad, cold and wet!

FAQ's

Can Hardy Chaps be worn 24/7 in the field/paddock?Toggle

Hardy Chaps should not be worn 24 hours a day. Especially in warm weather, when they should only be worn for between 3/4 hours a day. In cooler weather they can be worn for longer periods of time as long as they checked regularly for signs of heat build up.

Can the Close Contact Chaps or the Hardy Chaps be worn in the stable?Toggle

The only Equi-Chaps you can wear for long periods in the stable are the Stable Chaps, we don’t recommend using the Close Contact Chaps or Hardy Chaps in the stable.

Can you put Stable Chaps / Close Contact Chaps / Hardy Chaps on wet legs?Toggle

The Stable Chaps can be put on wet legs as they can help dry the legs, plus they are 100% breathable. We don’t advise putting the Close Contact Chaps or the Hardy Chaps on wet legs.

Can you ride in the Close Contact Chaps or Hardy Chaps?Toggle

Yes it is possible to ride in either but as with all leg protection you must make sure it is fits well and is fitted properly before mounting up. We do however offer other boots and wraps specifically designed for ridden work which will be better suited. We do make boots in the Tri-Zone range specifically for jumping and in the Stretch & Flex range for mainly flatwork and some jumping.

Do the Close Contact Chaps and/or the Hardy Chaps provide support during turnout?Toggle

The Close Contact Chaps provide a greater level of support to the horse’s legs than the Hardy Chaps due to the stretchy nature of the fabric. The Close Contact Chaps are designed to fit snugly, whereas the Hardy Chaps fit more loosely and do not have any stretch at all.

Do the Equi-Chaps come in pairs?Toggle

Yes the whole range, Close Contact Chaps, Stable Chaps and Hardy Chaps come in pairs.
