BOOTS & BANDAGES

SARATOGA BANDAGES

The Saratoga bandage has been developed with a patented application of silicon woven into the inside of the bandage, stopping it from slipping and ensuring even pressure down the leg. The firm controlled stretch of the bandage offers more leg support than normal bandages, this is great for the rehabilitation of bowed tendons, ligaments and joint diseases.

Tested by veterinarians and top trainers the Saratoga bandage is proven to be safe and effective. Even when the bandage is soaking wet it only weighs 3 oz and will not slip like other bandages. Ideal for exercise, competing, stabling or traveling this versatile bandage is fast becoming the number one choice of bandage in any discipline.

Price — $70 for a pair or $120 for a set of 4. Colours available are white, black and Navy.

SPORTS MEDICINE BOOT ELITE

Some very sophisticated engineering and rigorous testing were poured into the creation of the Sports Medicine Boot® Elite, making it the ultimate in leg protection. Contouring on both the inner and outer sides of the boot not only ensures a perfect, glove-like fit, but also keeps the dirt out.

The SMB® Elite is lightweight and multi-layered with an exclusive limestone-based neoprene exterior and UltraShock™ lining, providing 360-degrees of protection and safeguarding the cannon bone, tendons and soft tissue. It is proven to absorb energy from hoof impact by over 26%. The uniquely designed suspensory strap stretches upon each impact of the hoof, allowing full ankle movement while eliminating hyperextension of the fetlock. The distinctive angle of this strap also guarantees proper application, ensuring the boot provides maximum protection.

The neoprene materials are designed to absorb energy generated as the hoof impacts the ground, and to stretch and return to their original shape. The ability to stretch allows the boot to absorb energy when it is extended or fully loaded.

Testing at Oklahoma State University has proven that the Professional's Choice SMB-II® absorbs an average of 26% of energy from hoof concussion — four times greater traditional wraps.

Excellent for the rehabilitation of tendon and ligament injuries, and support for arthritic joints. This boot has the combination of superior protection, lightweight design and professional appearance.
