Pro-Grade Protection for Every Stride

Every rider knows that heat is the enemy of a horse's tendons. The ARMA Carbon Training Boots by Shires are designed to tackle that heat head-on while providing the impact resistance you need for intense schooling or jumping. Built with a triple-impact support system, these boots offer a "flyweight" feel that doesn't sacrifice an ounce of safety, ensuring your horse stays sound and comfortable from the first warm-up to the final cool-down.

Whether you’re working on lateral movements in the arena or clearing fences, these boots move with your horse. The ergonomic flex-fit design ensures they won't restrict motion, while the carbon-look TPU shell stands up to strikes and interference. From our barn to yours, we recommend these for any rider who wants professional-grade protection without the bulk of traditional boots.

Why We Love the ARMA Carbon Training Boots

• Advanced Triple Impact Support: The three-layer construction features a rugged TPU outer shell, a shock-absorbing neoprene core, and a soft mesh lining to guard against strikes and abrasions.
• Superior Heat Management: Integrated MAX ventilation uses strategic perforations and mesh zones to pull heat away from the tendons, preventing the overheating that can lead to long-term injury.
• Ergonomic Flex Fit: The boots are shaped to follow the natural curve of the leg, providing 360-degree protection without interfering with the horse's range of motion.
• Secure Pin Fastenings: Elasticated straps with quick-release pin fastenings ensure a consistent, snug fit that won't slip or over-tighten during a workout.
• Professional Grade Durability: Designed for the daily grind, these boots are built for the long haul, standing up to the wear and tear of both schooling and competition.

Best For

The active schooling rider or show jumper looking for high-impact protection and maximum airflow to keep tendons cool during intense training sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

Sizing is generally based on height: Pony (up to 14.1HH), Cob (14.2–15.1HH), Full (15.2–16.2HH), and Extra Full (16.3HH+). If your horse has "good bone" or thicker cannons, we recommend sizing up to ensure the ARMA Carbon Training Boots fit comfortably around the circumference of the leg.

Q: Are these boots suitable for everyday use?

Absolutely. These boots are designed as professional-grade all-rounders, making them ideal for daily flatwork, jumping, and general arena training where consistent protection is required.

Q: How do the pin fastenings compare to Velcro?

The pin fastenings on the ARMA Carbon Training Boots provide a more secure, non-slip fit that doesn't degrade with mud or hair like traditional Velcro, while also ensuring the tension remains consistent throughout your ride.
