The hind legs endure immense structural strain during high-performance collection, athletic jumping, and tight turns. Because the fetlock joint is highly prone to interference strikes and localized heat and fluid accumulation, modern equine athletes require a boot that protects against impact while actively aiding recovery. The Catago® FIR-Tech® Performance Fetlock Boots merge heavy-duty outer defense with advanced far-infrared therapy, setting a new standard for hind-limb care.
The core advantage of Catago's FIR-Tech® (Far-Infrared Technology) is the integration of micro-ceramic particles woven directly into the inner fabric lining. This specialized ceramic matrix captures the horse's natural radiating body heat and reflects it back into the soft tissue as therapeutic far-infrared waves. The deep-penetrating thermal energy dilates blood vessels, accelerating localized blood circulation to maximize oxygen delivery to vital tendons and ligaments. This process helps drain stubborn fluid accumulation, tightens windpuffs, and reduces post-workout inflammation.
Built to withstand aggressive interference knocks in the arena, the boots feature a lightweight, ergonomically molded hard shell that arches perfectly over the hind fetlock. This armor plate is backed by a shock-dampening interior that absorbs and disperses direct concussion. Finished with heavy-duty, elasticized quick-release pin fasteners, these boots guarantee an ultra-secure, slip-free fit that allows total joint mobility while keeping the internal therapeutic layer flush against the leg.
