Kentucky Tendon Boots Elastic Knee Protection

Good leg protection takes into account all vulnerable zones, not just the tendons. The Kentucky Bamboo Shield Front Boots with Knee Protection go a step further than most protectors by also actively absorbing shocks and impacts at the knees. This makes them particularly suitable for horses that jump or train intensively.

The material at the center of this is bamboo, one of the strongest natural materials in the world. The bamboo shield reinforces the tendon and knee area and prevents sharp objects from penetrating, while the antibacterial properties of bamboo keep the boots fresh with regular use. The outer shell is made of a lightweight yet robust TPU construction with multiple ventilation holes and a larger mesh triangle for optimal airflow. This keeps the leg cool, even during intensive activities.

On the inside, a breathable 3D spacer lining ensures soft contact with the skin and additional ventilation. At the point where the leg bends, a flexible piece of natural rubber is integrated to prevent abrasion and not hinder movement. An extra TPU layer on the inside increases durability for long-term use. The anatomical design closely follows the shape of the leg, ensuring a secure fit and full freedom of movement.

The boots have been tested with a proprietary testing machine that simulates a force of 80N, heavier than the impact that realistically occurs while riding. They are both Rico-test approved and RCT certified.
