PEI Air Cooled BL1 Eventing Boots CLEARANCE!

PEI BL1 Cross Country Boots all colors

PEI Air Cooled BL1 Eventing Boots

PEI Air Cooled BL1 Eventing Boots are similar to the original PEI eventing boots but are completely wrapped in a microfiber leather. The BL1 PEI Boots microfiber leather is designed to last longer and be lighter weight than the ballistic nylon that is used on the original PEI eventing boots. The microfiber leather stretches and molds to your horses legs while retaining its originally designed shape. These PEI eventing boots are 52 grams lighter per pair and offer a bit more protection than the originals. Materials provide solid brushing protection against studs. Cleanup is easy, simply throw them in the washing machine (or under the hose) and let them hang to dry.

If you want a pair of white cross country boots, these clean up very easy due to the microfiber leather.

  • Improved shape: forms to the leg and around fetlock without impeding movement
  • Polycarbonate strike guard, double stitched so it won’t move, non restrictive (located on back of front boots, on front of hind boots). Strike guard is guaranteed for life.
  • Air cooled via 6 areas around tendons on both inside & outside of boot
  • Do not suck up water, won’t get heavy
  • Lightweight, FLEXIBLE – not like the competition’s similar looking boot
  • EVA foam lining, this is NOT neoprene and is super soft
  • Wrapped in microfiber leather
  • Super lightweight – even lighter than the Original PEI Eventing Boots

Weight

PEI BL1 Pro Eventing Boots weigh slightly less (52 grams) than the PEI Original Eventing Boots. The following weights are for the LARGE size (all other sizes weigh less)

Full set: 970 Grams (34.2 oz)

  • Fronts: 209 grams / boot (418 grams set of fronts, size large)
  • Hinds: 276 grams / boot (552 grams set of hinds, size large)

The PEI Originals size large weigh in 1022 Grams (36 oz) for a full set.

Sizing Guidelines

As sizes increase, so does the circumference of the boot. We have found the biggest challenges with fitting the PEi Xc boots on “fine boned” horses. They end up fitting in height, but not in width. A gap vs. overlap is your personal preference – we have asked many trainers and have received all different answers. Also, overlapping or below the chestnut, that depends on your preference. The more coverage the better as long as there isn’t interference in the horse’s movement. The hind boots fit HIGH up the inside of the leg – that’s by design.

X-Small (available in PEi Originals Only) 7.5 inches tall (front),  9 inches tall (hind).

Small = 14.0hh – 14.3hh. 9.5 inches tall (front), 11.75 inches tall (hind)

Medium = 15hh – 16.2hh. 9.75 inches tall (front), 14.25 inches tall (hind)

Large = 16.3hh – 17.3hh. 10 inches tall (front),  15 inches tall (hind)

Colors and Availability

We carry PEI Air Cooled BL1 Eventing Boots in black and white, small – large at our warehouse in Southern California. If you would like BL1 XC boots in brown, we can order them for you and you will save on the cost of importing & shipping. PEI BL1 boots take about a week to arrive at our warehouse and another 3-4 days to reach you. Yes, you can use a black sharpie to change the vents from blue to black 🙂

Design Changes

Feedback from our customers and from Premier Equine suggest that the PEI Eventing Boots undergo design changes at least once a year. The PEI boots we carry are from 2017.

Amerigo Aluminum Stirrups with Wide Footbed

amerigo aluminum stirrups

Amerigo Aluminum Stirrups

Amerigo aluminum stirrups are equipped with a wide, aluminum footbed. These stirrups provide excellent grip in all conditions, including wet weather. They also work perfectly for all types of boots. The hole for the leathers is at a tilted 30-degree angle. This angle allows the stirrup to hang from the saddle in a correct position when compared to traditional stirrup irons. A correctly positioned stirrup is more comfortable to use, safer in the event of an emergency dismount and easier to retain. 2 pieces of aluminum make up Amerigo stirrups. Two thick bolts hold the bottom to the body.

  • Wide, aluminum footbed similar to many of the MDC stirrups
  • Great grip in all conditions, for all types of boots
  • 30-degree angle in stirrup leather hole provides a correct stirrup position
  • 10-ounce total weight per stirrup
  • 4.5 inches from side to side, 2.5 inches front to back
  • Made in Italy, with love
  • Nearly identical to the Jin Stirrups that are also made in Italy

Amerigo stirrups are available in three body colors: silver, gold, and black. Regardless of the body color, Amerigo stirrups come with a black footbed. The color is pretty durable. Scratches will occur but with basic care, they will look good for years.

Air-Cooled-Original-Eventing-Boots-Front-Black

Premier Equine Air Cooled Eventing Boots

Premier Equine Air Cooled Boots for eventing were introduced to us by one of our favorite cross country coaches down here in Southern California. They came highly recommended for their fit, durability, and for the level of protection they offer. After a successful trial run with several pairs at Copper Meadows Eventing we decided to carry Premier Equine boots. These are the “Original” Premier Equine Eventing Boots.

  • Lightweight, flexible, and air-cooled via multiple vents
  • Double stitched durable material that won’t retain water
  • Lining made of EVA – slip-resistant, soft material

Air Cooled Eventing Boots

PEi XC boots air-cool through six vents that allow a constant supply of fresh air flowing past the tendons. Front vents accept cool air in the direction of travel while vents on the side allow heated air to flow through and away from the leg. Vents are small enough to prevent debris from entering boot.

Premier Equine Air-Cooled Eventing Boots 

PEi Cross Country Boots Material

Premier Equine air cooled boots for cross country are made of a 2520D ballistic nylon base layer. The second layer of microfiber leather covers the tendon and fetlock area. Microfiber leather developed by Premier Equine in the UK. It as a design to be strong (technically stronger than leather), and flexible with the movement of the horse and waterproof.

The lining is made of EVA, ethylene-vinyl acetate. It’s a synthetic material that’s elastic, slip resistant and extremely durable. It’s soft to the touch and non-irritating. It does not soak up water.

ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad With Optional Shims

ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad white

ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad, Shims Optional

ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad gets its name from the three elements it’s composed of: The first is a high-quality base derived from hard wearing (tough), US grown cotton. The second element is Ultra ThinLine.  This is a microscopic honeycomb type material that absorbs impact and molds to the shape of your horses back. The two elements have been cut and sewn together in a way that creates a wither profile and spine free channel allowing the ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad to lay across the horses back in a position that will avoid pressure points.

  • Hard wearing cotton base
  • Ultra ThinLine, shock absorbing, no slip top
  • Machine washable
  • Shims available for the perfect fit
  • Wither profile and spine free channel allowing for natural movement

ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad

 

Fitting for an Off the Rack or Custom Saddle

We have tried the ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad under both custom saddles, designed specifically for the horse and rider as well as one size fits most saddles. For the custom saddles, the ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad is sleek enough that it adds the impact absorption and slip resistance as designed for without altering the saddles custom fit. For one size fits most saddles, the optional shims come in really handy to help with minor saddle fit adjustments.

Measure your saddles panels and compare them to these specs below for the best fit under your saddle. The ThinLine Trifecta Half Pad should be large enough to cover your saddle’s panels.

Small Trifecta Half Pad Dimensions: The bottom cotton pad (that touches the horses back) measures 20″ along the spine and 14.5″ across the widest part of the seat. The Ultra ThinLine panels (sewn onto the top of the cotton base) measure 19.25″ long and 13.5″ across the seat.

Medium Trifecta Half Pad Dimensions: The bottom cotton pad (that touches the horses back) measures 22″ along the spine and 16″ across the widest part of the seat. The Ultra ThinLine panels (sewn onto the top of the cotton base) measure 21.75″ long and 15″ across the seat.

Large Trifecta Half Pad Dimensions: The bottom cotton pad (that touches the horses back) measures 23″ along the spine and 16.5″ across the widest part of the seat. The Ultra ThinLine panels (sewn into the top of the cotton base) measure 22.75″ long and 15.25″ across the seat.

Optional Shims: Include Front shims for wither relief, and rear shims to lift the cantle. The shims stay put without moving around in the pad.  Master Saddlers carefully craft the inserts to ensure you receive the best in protection and fit.

Caring for your ThinLine Trifecta Cotton Half Pad

You can machine wash this ThinLine half pad in a front load washer if you use cold water and a mild detergent – or bleach for white pads. Set the cycle to low with the ThinLine side against itself with the cotton side exposed to the machine. We’re all about replacing defective pads.  But, pads that are destroyed by your washing machine won’t be replaced for free… Maybe at a discount, because we feel for you.

Do not put in dryer, let it hang to dry.

Boyd Martin Open Front Tendon Boots (Fronts)

open front tendon boots by boyd martin

Open Front Tendon Boots

Boyd Martin Open Front Tendon Boots are part of the Boyd Martin signature line of Majyk Equipe horse boots. The objective of the Boyd Martin stadium jump line is to provide a high quality open front boot specifically for the 3-day eventing market.

The Boyd Martin open front  boots are available in fronts (tendon boots) and hinds (fetlock boots). The open front design allows the horse to feel the impact of a pole but provide protection to the leg’s soft tissue including the flexor tendons and the suspensory ligaments.

  •  Open front design
  • Built exclusively for Eventing horses
  • Protects soft tissue from impact
  • Flexible, strong outer shell
  • Reinforced strike zones
  • Memory foam liners
  • Elastic with Tab closures

boyd open front tendon boots

Flexible, Strong Outer Shell

The Boyd Martin open front tendon boots feature an outer shell that’s made of “Variable Hardness TPU” created by the BASF company. This is basically just plastic that is flexible (TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethanes). To take it a step further, it’s an aromatic TPU, a product that can be used in applications that require flexibility, strength and toughness – perfect for horse boots that need to be flexible while being protective.

Air Shock Protection & Reinforced Strike Zones

Both the Boyd Martin stadium jumping boots (open front tendon boots and open front fetlock boots) feature Air Shock Protection & reinforced strike zones. The Air Shock protection consists of pockets within the boot that when hit, constrict and dissipate the energy away from the strike zone. The flexible TPU pops back into place after a strike. The reinforced strike zones provide an extra layer of protection in vulnerable areas.

Memory Foam Liners

Does your horse’s legs get rubbed raw by your current open front tendon boots? Try an open front boot with memory foam liners. When the boot liners warm up, the memory foam molds to the shape of your horses leg.  This custom fit horse boot will not rub a shaved leg, cause any discoloration of the coat or cost you an enormous amount of money like the competition’s memory foam horse boots.

Tri Zone Airlite Cross Country Boots (2015 Model)

Tri Zone Airlite Cross Country Boots 2015

Tri Zone Airlite Cross Country Boots

Tri Zone Airlite Cross Country Boots are Equilibrium’s new version of the well loved Tri Zone Cross Country Boots. They took all the best features of the classic and added the latest in material technology to increase flexibility, protection and breathability.  The Tri-Zone Airlite XC boot is so lightweight it floats.

  • Won’t hold water
  • Flexible, tough strike plates – no solid plates
  • Breathable, won’t heat up the tendons
  • Concealed velcro, not exposed to impacts
  • Fresh new design for 2015

Safety Tested, Eventer Approved

Leveraging the neutrality of an independent laboratory, Equilibrium (manufacturer of Tri-Zone products) safety tested the new Airlite XC boots. Lab results proved that the Airlite XC boots protect against both threats on course: concussion and penetration. Concussions on course come from a horse striking a cross country fence at galloping speed. Threats of penetration are from a horse’s hind hoof over reaching and striking any number or tendons and ligaments on the back of the front leg. These boots protect against both these threats.

Tri Zone Airlite Cross Country Boots 2015

 

Lightweight XC Boots

Adding weight to a horses leg can significantly alter performance. On the cross country course, this alteration can also mean missing your optimum time at the least, damaging your horses leg at the worse. Equilibrium Airlite XC Boots offer a high level of performance without adding significant weight.

Highly Breathable And Flexible Without Letting Dust In

Overheating your horses tendons on course is not such a good thing. Tri-Zone uses the “Airlite System” that has three layers of perforated, flexible materials that allow air to flow while keeping dust and debris out. The outer layer is tough, flexible TPU mesh. This stuff is rip resistant and super breathable. The second layer is a highly breathable filter membrane that blocks dust and debris from the final layer. The inner layer is a shock dampening, high density material. The material has a surface mimicking that of heat sinks on electronics. Overall, the sinks dissipate heat through the multiple air vents that are built into the boot.
