With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritized (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or dispatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Prelaunch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Preorders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address for the item you are interested in, and we will email you as soon as stock arrives in the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indicative purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on information given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavor to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

The Equilibrium Tri-Zone All Sports Boots are a revolutionary design of exercise boot that combats the problems of overheating of the horse's tendons, while still providing very effective protection for all sorts of disciplines. The versatility of these All Sports boots means they are ideal for schooling, hacking, racing, even endurance, and are designed for both front and hind legs, and the lightweight nature of the design means that injuries caused by tiredness can be avoided as much as possible.
The Equilibrium Tri-Zone All Sports Boots feature an innovative Airlite layer system, which uses a unique combination of materials with a ventilated design which makes them very lightweight and very breathable, yet still very hardy and protective, making good use of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) which helps to disperse concussion. Despite being so lightweight and breathable, the All Sports Boots have a highly protective and ergonomically shaped integrated TPU guard which helps to protect the vulnerable tendon area.The durable vinyl over straps give a smart finish, and add to the hardwearing and strong nature of the boots. The two straps are secure and minimise the risk of the boots moving, whilst being easy to take on and off.
To wash, close all the straps and wash in lukewarm water in mild detergent, do not tumble dry or dry over direct heat such as radiators.
Care Guide: To wash, close all the straps and wash in lukewarm water in mild detergent, do not tumble dry or dry over direct heat such as radiators.Why is Breathability Important? Work by Alan Wilson and Allen Goodship (1997) at the University of Bristol showed: When the tendon cells were heated for 10 minutes at 45°C, around 10% died. When they were heated to 48°C for 10 minutes then around 80% died. Breathability Testing The Tri-Zone Brushing Boots were sent for testing with Dr David Marlin: They allowed 87% moisture to escape through the boot. The average from the other 11 boots that were tested was 48%. The Tri-Zone Brushing boot allows 80% more moisture release than other similar boots.
General Information on Equilibrium Sizing
The sizes here are for the average type of horse or pony and should suit most breeds. However if there is a non standard type of horse/pony that does not fit the guidelines below, please contact us for additional size advice.
Sizes are standardized across all our products, so if a horse is a Medium size in brushing boots then as a general rule of thumb they will be a Medium size in a fly mask. For the best boot, wrap or chap fit we recommend measuring how much bone a pony or horse has but if you are unable to do this then use the general horse height and type description below.
Products must be tried on a clean, dry horse/pony, so that if the size is not correct, the product is still perfectly clean to be exchanged for a different size. Mistakes in size cannot be rectified once the product has been used.
Fitting Equilibrium Tri-Zone Boots
Boots do not need to fit as closely to the horse's legs as wraps or chaps, but care must still be taken when selecting what size the horse needs. To measure the horse's leg, simply measure the circumference of the cannon bone at the mid point between knee/hock and fetlock and follow the sizing guide below to determine which size the horse requires. Getting the correct size for the horse will maximize the level of comfort and protection.

“The Tri-Zone boots have become an essential part of my equipment. They are super protective, yet unbelievably lightweight, and the air vents keep my horse's legs from overheating. They are great in water, as it drains out quickly and doesn't add any weight. I highly recommend them, especially for my upper level horses.” Buck Davidson – US, International Event Rider
“Built around a core principle of zoned protection Tri-Zone Boots offer unrivaled protection, genuine impact absorption, as well as the ability to channel heat and sweat away from the skin, minimizing the heating effect of boots upon vulnerable tendons.” Joe Meyer – International Event Rider
