Cross-country Horse Boots
|
Stronger than an axe! The cross-country boots on every eventer's wish list are finally here! ECOGOLD has developed 100% Breathable, Neoprene-free, Flexible Cross-country Protective Boots that will not rub or irritate your horse's legs. Watch our impact test video! Protective Horse Boots: What every rider should know! video featuring textile engineer John Da Silva and Olympian Karen O'Connor How to put on ECOGOLD XC horse boots Features:
Our advanced technology: a polycarbonate protective shield (material used in aerospace, astronauts' helmets and bullet-proof windows, as it can withstand high-impact at various temperatures while having the advantage of being lightweight) along with 3 additional shock-absorbing layers offer superior protection against impact.
No need for fancy air-vents! The entire surface of the boot is 100% breathable and neoprene-free to quickly evaporate moisture. A soft micro-fiber layer in contact with the horse’s skin, prevents any friction or rubs from sand or dirt. There is NO TRIM around the edge of the boots, to prevent any skin irritation.
Lightweight and flexible, our 100% breathable memory-foam, molds to the horse’s leg for maximum support while dissipating heat and moisture. The outer-surface of the boots are made with water-repellent materials. Numerous tests done in the field have shown that they do not retain water. Our breathable materials allows the sweat to quickly evaporate, maintaining their weight constant during a competition.
By being very flexible, thanks in part to the Polycarbonate shield, in conjunction with the breathable memory foam and by having NO TRIM, our boots not only stay in place but they offer greater comfort to the horse than most existing boots.
Our high-tech fabrics have a waffle-like texture which doubles the moisture evaporation surface to keep the horse cool and dry. Independent tests, measuring the temperature on horses' legs after cross-country, found horses with ECOGOLD Cross-country Boots were 1.5 degrees cooler than with the other boots.
While other boots are difficult to clean, Ecogold Cross-country Boots are entirely machine-washable. Close the velcro attachments and put them in the washing machine in warm or cold water with a regular detergent. Hang to dry. |

Testimonials - ECOGOLD XC Boots

Max Corcoran - Head groom O'Connor Event Team / Karen O'Connor 
"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Ecogold XC boots! They fit well, don't retain water, don't rub and they are even great in the Florida sand! At OCET, we get to try a lot of products and really put them to the test. We were very impressed and are switching our horses to these boots." |
Boyd Martin - #3 US ranked rider 
"When you’re galloping cross-country, going long distances and through water, you need a lightweight boot that doesn’t heat the legs or labor them with extra weight. Sooner or later your horse’s legs are bound to smash into a jump and that’s when you need the best defense you can get against injury. The Ecogold cross-country boot offers the most protection a boot can give when jumping fixed obstacles at high speed.” The horses' legs seem to be much cooler with them, they don't retain water or get heavy and they stay in place." |

Chrissy McBride - groom for US rider Sinead Halpin 
"We used the set of cross country boots for the first time, when Tate ran Intermediate at Pine Top and we really liked them! I was very pleased with how they did not hold water, how well they stayed in place and the fact that Tate's legs were not very hot immediately after taking the boots off." |
Buck Davidson - #2 US ranked rider 
"Ecogold cross-country boots are great! They're lightweight, don't hold water, fit comfortably and give great protection to my horses' legs." |

Jessica Phoenix - Canadian Eventing Team 
"I discovered Ecogold XC boots last year at the Royal Winter Fair, and was really impressed on how soft and flexible they were while giving an amazing level of protection from impact. They never rub or hold water and the horses love them. I wouldn't ride in any other boot." |
