A sausage boot (also known as a fetlock ring or pastern ring) which I made with soft leather, inside flocked with wool secured with a leather strap and buckle. This boot is used for : —

1. Anti-Brushing Protection: They are used on horses with a close gait or narrow way of going to prevent the legs or hooves from striking, brushing, or interfering with one another.
2. When a horse lies down or gets up, the shoes on the horse’s hoofs may come in contact with the horse’s elbow, causing abrasions and pressure sores (capping). The sausage boot of the stuffed leather is made to fit around the heel of the horse’s hooves, and is used to protect the horse from these abrasions and pressure sores.
   This boot will be available made to order and coming to my online shop soon.
