ABSTRACT:
A protective boot which can be removably attached to the legs of horses, that may be engaged in a variety of activities such as galloping, jumping and the like, in a position extending over the shank and contiguous fetlock joint areas, and which comprise a body portion formed of an outer layer of flexible synthetic plastic sheet material and an inner cushion layer of foamed synthetic plastic material having their confronting surfaces bonded together, the inner layer also being formed to provide a plurality of ribs separated by open-sided grooves extending longitudinally of the body and lengthwise of the horse's leg. Through-going perforations in the grooves and ridges permit evaporation of sweat. Attaching bands or straps are integrally formed with the outer layer of plastic sheet material for engagement by clamping devices, and in which these bands have strengthening fabric inserts and transverse laterally spaced apart ridges to prevent slippage in the clamping device. The holding bands and coacting clamping devices at the fetlock joint area are in converging relation with respect to parallel bands and clamping devices in other areas.
