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

They must stay in place without being excessively tight and should not turn when the horse is moving. Any marks, heat, or discomfort indicates that the adjustment needs to be reviewed.

Fetlock boots must be carefully positioned to provide effective protection without creating friction or tension.

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

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

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

It should 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.
