Fetlock boots must be adapted to the horse's size and correctly positioned to protect without hindering. They are put on by sliding them from top to bottom until they naturally fit the fetlock. The protective part should be at the back of the fetlock, with the fastenings facing outwards.

They should stay in place without being excessively tight and should not turn while the horse is in motion. Any marks, heat, or discomfort indicate that the fit needs to be re-evaluated.

Fetlock boots must be carefully positioned to protect effectively without causing friction or tension.

• How to slide them on correctly
Hold the fetlock boot open, then place it slightly above the fetlock. Gently slide it downwards until it naturally positions itself around the fetlock.

This top-to-bottom movement allows the fetlock boot to conform to the shape of the limb, without catching hair or creating creases.

• Final adjustment
Once in place:
- the fetlock boot must be well-centered,
- the shells or reinforcements should be at the back of the fetlock,
- the fastenings (velcro or buttons) should be on the outside, fastened without excessive tightness.

It must stay in place without compressing or slipping down during work.

• Essential rule to remember
Slide it on, never force it.

A well-positioned fetlock boot effectively protects while respecting the horse's freedom of movement and comfort.
