If you are browsing our full range of fetlock boots, this model stands out as a reliable, breathable option for everyday use and competitive riding.

Targeted Fetlock Protection for Active Horses

The Shires ARMA Vortex Fetlock Boots are designed specifically to shield the fetlock area, which is particularly vulnerable during jumping and fast work.

A robust outer shell helps protect against knocks from hind hooves, while the contoured design ensures a close, secure fit around the joint. This makes them a practical choice for horses that are prone to brushing or overreaching, especially when working over fences.

Vortex Cooling System: Breathable Comfort

The ARMA Vortex design incorporates ventilation features that help promote airflow around the leg, reducing heat build-up during exercise.

Breathable inner materials work alongside the vented shell to support air circulation, helping to keep your horse’s legs cooler during training sessions, competitions and warmer weather conditions.

Secure Fit with Flexible, Shock-Absorbing Support

A stable, comfortable fit is essential for effective protection. The Shires ARMA Vortex Fetlock Boots deliver this with:

• Flexible construction to allow natural hind leg movement
• Shock-absorbing inner layers to help reduce impact
• Strong touch close fastenings for a secure and adjustable fit
• Contoured shape to minimise movement and prevent rubbing

These features help ensure the boots stay correctly positioned, even during demanding jumping rounds or fast-paced flatwork.

Classic Black Finish for Competition and Everyday Riding

Finished in a smart black colour, these fetlock boots offer a clean, professional look that suits both competition and daily riding.

Black – classic, versatile and ideal for show jumping, eventing and training

The understated design pairs easily with any tack, making these boots a practical addition to your horse’s kit.

Size Options for a Secure Fit

The Shires ARMA Vortex Fetlock Boots are available in a range of sizes to suit different horses and builds. Choosing the correct size helps ensure maximum comfort and protection.

For best results, always check the fit carefully to ensure the boots sit correctly around the fetlock joint without restricting movement.

Who the Shires ARMA Vortex Fetlock Boots Are Ideal For

Thanks to their combination of protection, comfort and ventilation, the Shires ARMA Vortex Fetlock Boots are a strong choice for:

• Show jumping and cross-country
• Eventing and hunter trials
• Schooling and everyday riding
• Horses needing reliable fetlock protection with added airflow

Riders looking for durable, breathable hind leg protection will find the Shires ARMA Vortex Fetlock Boots tick all the key boxes.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase.
