Shires ARMA Vortex Tendon Boots Black

Support your horse’s performance and protection during fast-paced work with the Shires ARMA Vortex Tendon Boots in Black. Designed for jumping, cross-country and everyday schooling, these tendon boots combine advanced airflow technology with reliable impact protection, helping to keep your horse’s legs cool, comfortable and well-supported.

If you are browsing our full range of horse boots, this model stands out as a practical, high-performance choice for riders who want both protection and breathability.

Advanced Protection for Tendons and Ligaments

The Shires ARMA Vortex Tendon Boots are engineered to shield the vulnerable tendon area from knocks and strikes, particularly during jumping and faster work.

A tough outer shell helps guard against impact, while the ergonomic shape follows the horse’s leg for a secure and supportive fit. These boots are ideal for protecting against brushing injuries, making them a reliable option for horses working over fences or on varied terrain.

Vortex Cooling System: Breathable Protection

The standout feature of the ARMA Vortex range is its integrated airflow system. Strategically placed vents encourage continuous air circulation through the boot, helping to reduce heat build-up around the tendons during exercise.

Combined with breathable inner linings, this design helps maintain comfort during intense training sessions or competitions. For horses that are prone to overheating, this added ventilation helps keep legs cooler for longer.

Secure Fit with Flexible, Shock-Absorbing Design

A secure, comfortable fit is essential for both safety and performance. The Shires ARMA Vortex Tendon Boots deliver this with:

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

This combination ensures the boots stay correctly positioned, even during demanding jumping rounds or cross-country runs.

Classic Black Finish for Competition and Everyday Use

Finished in a smart black colour, these tendon boots offer a clean, professional look suitable for both competition and daily riding.

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

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

Size Options for a Secure Fit

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

For best results, always check the fit carefully and ensure the boots sit correctly around the tendon area without restricting movement.

Who the Shires ARMA Vortex Tendon Boots Are Ideal For

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

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

Riders looking for durable, breathable leg protection that performs across a variety of disciplines will find the Shires ARMA Vortex Tendon 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.
