Product Description
The tendons of horses are extremely fragile and prone to injuries. However, tendon protectors often keep too warm or are too tight. We know how important it is for the fit to be protective while still being comfortable for the horse. Discover our internally developed XO2-Boot, available in several elegant CLX colours! An innovative design, backed by extensive research on horse leg anatomy, created using a unique mould developed by BR. The result is a must-have tendon protector that offers the best protection, absorbs shocks, and keeps the horse's leg as cool as possible.
Based on the principle that 'form follows function,' the tendon protector CLX XO2 provides your horse with perfect protection without compromising comfort. The protector fits the horse's leg perfectly and covers only where necessary. The shell is slightly thicker at the back and on the sides of the fetlock, providing optimal protection to the horse's leg in these crucial areas.
The unique feature of the shell is its anatomical shape that adapts to the horse's leg, fitting its contours perfectly. The unique shape of the shell offers protection where needed, but it is also lighter than other tendon protectors: up to 10% lighter! Your horse thus maintains perfect freedom of movement and is never hindered by the protectors.
The shell is hard for good protection, yet extremely flexible to fit the horse's leg shape well. Well-placed ventilation holes ensure the tendon does not overheat.
The protector is lined with our specially developed Air Liner, a thermoformed lining made from a material that provides optimal properties. The lining further absorbs shocks, thanks to the air present in the spaces created by the material and its composition. Upon impact or shock, the air escapes through the extremely breathable lining and the ventilation holes. Your horse is thus perfectly protected against impacts.
It is also very important for tendon protectors to be equipped with appropriate fastenings. Indeed, if the protector is too loose, it can cause irritation, but if it is too tight, it can impair blood circulation. The fastening straps are slightly elastic and have a self-gripping system, ensuring that the protector can always be positioned correctly and well adjusted. With the rounded shell, they have a streamlined appearance and fit the horse's leg perfectly.
