As a company that strives to source sustainable materials, bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world. Bamboo has the best tensile strength and also avoids penetration of sharp objects. Thanks to great results from testing, the bamboo shield is now used to protect the horse’s tendon area. The Kentucky Tendon Boots Bamboo Shield Elastic are made out of a tough durable TPU shell with multiple ventilation holes which will help keep your horses legs cool during exercise.
