Only brown event boot on the market with the latest d30 technology. No brainer!
Hi Eventing Nation!
If you’ve done your stalking job, you know I’ve been posting about my Kentucky Horsewear boots sold through Legacy Equestrian Outfitters. What, you ask, makes them so special, other than their phenomenal craftsmanship, materials, and style?
The answer: d3o.
d3what?
d3o. It’s a specially engineered intelligent molecule that is unparalleled in shock absorption and impact protection. What makes d3o so unique is the fact that in its relaxed state, it is quite malleable, sort of like play-doh. However, when there’s a force of impact upon it, the molecules band together to not only absorb the shock, but continues to distribute throughout the molecules, greatly reducing the effect of the impact.
What does this mean in terms of horse boots? Simply put: when you’re galloping across country, the material moves with your horse. When your horse strikes itself or a jump, the molecules band together to protect your horse from the concussion of the impact, then return to their relaxed state to move with your horse as he continues to gallop along. The show jumping boots work much the same way. [Read more about the technology on the d3o website]
An explanation and demonstration of d3o
Now for the fun videos: (The EN chinchillas, and LEO lawyers, say “Do not try this at home”.) The man who is being hit with the shovel has d3o on under his hat and pants.
For more information on the Kentucky boots and where to get them, visit Legacy Equestrian Outfitters and Kentucky Horsewear. And like them on the new, awful Facebook so I can impress the boss! [LEO] [Kentucky]
Look for the boots this weekend at Otter Creek and Poplar Place!
Thank you EN (and John)! Go eventing.
