About: Splint boots

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Brushing boots or splint boots are used to protect a horse's legs during exercise, protecting the lower leg from injury that may occur if one leg or hoof strikes the opposite leg. They are commonly seen on horses in fast work, such as jumping, when in training, such as when longeing, or in competitions such as reining or eventing. Brushing injuries are more common on the forelegs, when one hoof catches the other leg, or when the fetlock or cannon bones hit each other. This can cause a serious injury on a horse's legs, especially if the horse is wearing shoes. Poor equine conformation can often lead to brushing, although even properly-conformed horses can also accidentally injure themselves. Brushing boots may also be placed on horses in the field to protect them if they get overly excited.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Splint-Boots sind „Schoner“ für die Beine von Pferden. Die deutsche Bezeichnung ist Gamaschen. Splint-Boots werden besonders im Westernreitsport verwendet, damit die Pferde bei Übungen wie z. B. Sliding Stops (das Pferd bremst abrupt mit den Hinterbeinen aus vollem Galopp ab) keine Verletzungen erleiden und die Beine bei dieser außerordentlichen Beanspruchung gestützt werden. Splint-Boots können aus robustem Kunststoff oder Leder gefertigt sein. Innen sollten sie weich ausgepolstert und außen mit einem flexiblen „Glattlederlöffel“ versehen sein. (de)

Brushing boots may also be placed on horses in the field to protect them if they get overly excited. Other reasons for use may include placement on a young or unfit horse which may be excitable and step on itself, or on horses subject to intense work that may stumble more if they are tired. (en)
