Why Kentucky Horsewear products? There are two big reasons: 1) The d3o technology and 2) the craftsmanship.
The d3o Impact Protection Company was established 10 years ago. d3o was developed through advanced chemistry, engineering and design. It is an intelligent material that when moved slowly, the molecules can pass each other smoothly. However, when moved quickly, as in an impacted force, the molecules lock to absorb and disperse energy, providing a barrier of support.
The d3o material is not just used in horse boot protection through Kentucky Horsewear. The material was used in Spyder ski kit for the 2006 US and Canadian ski teams. Other companies that use the material are Burton, Samsung, Head, and North Face. The UK Ministry of Defense and US Special Forces also use d3o technology. [d3o website]
d3o is truly one of a kind, and is found in the Kentucky Horsewear dressage, cross country, open front, and overreach boots. Horses knock jumps, trip on their own feet (ask me how I know), overreach, interfere, and generally find a way to injure themselves. Protect them with the latest and best technology.
Kentucky Horsewear products are not only the latest, but they’re the greatest. The technology is fabulous, but the craftsmanship cannot be overlooked. The boots are made in Europe with the traditional European standards of quality. Kentucky Horsewear designed all their boots to be anatomically fitting of the horse. They use only the best materials, whether it’s the Solimbra fabric (water-ressistant, oil-resistant, and breatheable) or super cushiony (is that a word?) memory foam.
