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 fit 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 while 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
Present 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 limb's shape, without catching hair or creating creases.

• Final adjustment
Once in place:
- the fetlock boot must be well-centered,
- the shells or reinforcements must be at the back of the fetlock,
- the fastenings (velcro or buttons) are placed facing outwards, fastened without excess.

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

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

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