What is the inspiration behind the Stretch & Flex Wraps?
A horse called Timmy was the inspiration behind these innovative support wraps.
Timmy had extremely sensitive skin, which was rubbed by other boots. He needed
something soft and comfortable, but also something suitable to keep his legs
protected, cool and allow him to move freely when dressage training. As a
result, the Stretch & Flex Wraps were born!

What are the materials used in the Stretch & Flex Wraps?
Stomatex: Originally developed for human athletes, Stomatex® was designed to
provide four-way stretch, to enable use around mobile joints, and an outstanding
ability to keep the skin dry. It is commonly used in the manufacture of heat
acclimatisation suits, padding for wheelchairs, special wetsuits and sports
injury support bandages. The material mimics the way a leaf ‘breathes’, which
allows the horses leg to stay cool and maintains an ideal skin temperature over
an extended period of time. The way the material works is by efficiently moving
trapped vapour molecules from beneath the fabric by the flexing action of minute
dome shaped chambers which contain a tiny pore in the centre. This also gives it
it’s unique appearance.

Automotive Grade Cushioning Spacer Mesh: This mesh is strategically placed over
the vulnerable tendon area for extra protection. The spacer fabric has an
additional jersey fabric on the inside of the boot to create an even softer
lining against your horses’ leg. Ideal to act as a ‘cushion’ and comfortable to
wear, the spacer fabric is also fantastic at letting heat and moisture pass
through easily to get sweat and warmth away from the skin.

Who are the Stretch & Flex Schooling Wraps for?
Primarily designed for schooling or a smart, comfortable, and protective
competition boot, Stretch and Flex Wraps are shaped to fit comfortably around
the contours of the horse’s leg including the fetlock, making them ideal for
horses with knocks, scars or splints, for young or big moving horses, or simply
to provide extra protection around the fetlock joint.

These features mean that the Training Wraps are useful for horses and ponies
recovering from injuries, those with joint problems such as arthritis and in
providing gentle cushioning over scars and splints.

Stretch and Flex Training Wraps are available in Black and White and in an array
of sizes, including a ‘Medium Narrow‘ fit for those with finer legs, to make
sure you can have the perfect fit for your horse on both front and hind legs.

How do I care for the Stretch & Flex Training Wraps?
The boots can be washed off with a rinse from the hose or if needing a slightly
more thorough wash, they are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Leave them
to air dry away from a direct heat source and they will be dry and ready to use.
Ensure the boot straps are closed before washing.
