Sahara multifunctional drying boots are a revolutionary product for looking after and caring for horses. Use the boots after washing the horse's legs for quick and effective drying, as well as preventing mold in the withers. The Sahara drying boots consist of two parts. A durable neoprene outer and a soft super absorbent inner layer with our innovative Wet2Dry technology. It is this soft inner insert that is the power behind the absorbency. You can also put the neoprene directly on the horse to warm up muscles and tendons, or use the boot with the soft insert to protect against damage in the stable or during transport. Cool the horse effectively by using the boots as cooling boots. You simply wet the pad, put it in the freezer before training and use them on your legs afterwards. The Sahara boot covers from the knee to the crotch and thus prevents dirt and grime from settling, all the while drying and warming the leg effectively.

Drying & Prevention of mud fever
Dry the horse's legs in just 15 minutes, and avoid having to wash again and again. Keep the horse healthy by preventing muck in the
withers.Attach the soft insert to the outer neoprene sleeve with the Velcro straps so that the soft terry surface faces the leg. Put the boot tightly around the leg and fasten with the outer velcro stops. Make sure the absorbent layer covers the knuckle and the top of the hoof. After 15 minutes the leg is dry.
Heating
Warm up muscles and tendons before training and increase blood circulation in the horse's legs to avoid injuries. The Sahara boots work effectively both for drying and warming the legs. Remove the soft insert and place the black neoprene layer directly on the horse's leg.
Fasten with the outer velcro straps. The outer layer uses Fir-Skin+T technology, which contains titanium particles that reflect the horse's own heat back.
Cooling
Cool the horse down effectively after exercise and avoid overheating.
Moisten the soft insert from the boot and put it in a freezer for approx. 1 hour (depending on humidity/type of freezer) for example while you exercise. Make sure the pad is still flexible and not completely frozen when you take it out.
Reattach the soft insert to the neoprene layer with the Velcro straps. Place the boot on the horse's leg and remove after approx. 10-15 minutes.
Protection
Sahara can also be used as a transport boot or stable boot. With its good thickness and soft padding, the Sahara is perfect for protecting the horse's legs during transport or in the box. Fasten the boot using the Velcro straps and place it around the horse's legs.
USER MANUAL:
The boots consist of two parts. A durable neoprene outer and a soft super absorbent inner layer with our innovative Wet2Dry technology.
DRYING:
Attach the inner pad to the outer neoprene sleeve using the Velcro straps so that the soft terry surface faces the horse's leg. Put the boot tightly around the leg and fasten with the outer velcro stops. Make sure the inner absorbent layer covers the horse's coccyx to the top of the hoof. After 10-15 minutes the horse's legs will be dry.
COOLING:
After you have dried the horse's leg, remove the gaiter from the leg and take out the now damp inner layer. Place the inner layer in the freezer for approx. 1 hour (depending on humidity/type of freezer) Make sure the pillow is still flexible and not completely frozen when you take it out. Then reattach the inner layer to the boot with the Velcro straps. Put the boot on the horse again and remove after approx. 15 minutes.
HEAT/BLOOD CIRCULATION:
After cooling, remove the inner pad and place the black outer layer directly to the horse's leg. Fasten with the outer velcro straps. The outer layer uses Fir-Skin + T technology, which contains titanium which reflects heat.
PROTECTION:
Attach the dry inner layer to the boot using the velcro straps and place against the horse's leg using the outer velcro straps.
MAINTENANCE:
The boots can be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius (on a silk/wool programme). Make sure all Velcro straps are secured before washing to prevent lint build-up. Stretch after washing while the fabric is still wet (as with a wool sweater) to reduce shrinkage. Tumble dry on low heat. See more here: How to wash your Siccaro product
