Shires ARMA Air Motion Brushing Boots are a specialized alternative to the standard neoprene version, engineered primarily for enhanced breathability and heat dissipation. They are highly popular in the UK for summer riding, high-intensity schooling, or for horses prone to sweating and heat build-up under traditional leg gear. The Material: Instead of solid neoprene, these boots use an innovative 3-D honeycomb mesh fabric. This open structure allows continuous air circulation to keep the tendons cool. Moisture Control: The fabric actively draws moisture away from the skin and dries incredibly quickly. Water Weight: Because the fabric is a lightweight open mesh, the boots do not absorb water or become heavy when riding through puddles or washing off. Impact Protection: They retain standard protective capabilities by featuring tough, molded strike-resistant pads on the inner leg to absorb impact from brushing
