With mud fever, prevention is better than cure. Equi-Chaps Close Contact Chaps, do exactly what they say – they fit close, like a second skin to help keep legs protected and reduce the damaging effect mud can have on the skin.
Unlike other turnout boots, Equi-Chaps Close Contact Chaps completely encase the lower leg, covering the hoof, heel and fetlock area.
Equi-Chaps Close Contact Chaps offer mild protection from brushing and overreach injuries so eliminate the need for a brushing boot and an overreach boot when turning out.
They are very easy to clean and dry quickly and the touch and close straps make them secure even around the fetlock area. With handy grip tabs for easy removal.
They come in an array of sizes to suit the smallest of ponies and largest of horses with additional features like the hook receptive fetlock area to allow for greater adjustability.
Please note however, they are not suitable for horses or ponies with a neoprene allergy.
It is important that the close contact chaps fit the horse snugly so that mud doesn’t rise under the boots and cause irritation which could lead to mud fever. Because of this, we have found that many horses need a smaller size in the Close Contact Chaps than they would normally wear. Not too sure of the size you need? Get in touch and we will be happy to help.
They can be worn for up to 12 hours with minimum risk of rubbing as they are so flexible, soft and breathable.

Michelle
Could you please provide the measurements of the neoprene from top, the fetlock joint area and the hoof area. I am looking for a turnout sock for a 16.2 maxicob with some feather and approx. 10 inch bone. Thank you.
Given that your horse is a 16.2hh maxi cob with feathering and approximately 10-inch bone, it's advisable to select the Large size. This size is typically suitable for horses of similar build and should provide the necessary coverage and protection.
For more detailed sizing information, you can refer to the manufacturer's sizing guide or consult with your local Equilibrium Products retailer.
