Classic Equine Flexion Legacy2 Hind Support Boots - Targeted Fetlock

Our review of the Classic Equine Flexion Legacy2 Hind Support Boots finds them best suited for riders and trainers who need strong, targeted protection for the fetlock and suspensory area without restricting natural motion. The stand-out reason to buy is the Flexion technology: a Fetlock Cradle System composed of individual abrasive resistant cells that move independently, producing a snug, flush fit that absorbs impact and resists wear in the exact spots that see the most contact and rubbing.

Key Features

• Flexion cell construction: Individual abrasive resistant cells move and stretch independently to create a secure, contouring fit around the fetlock.
• Fetlock Cradle System: Designed to concentrate impact and wear protection where horses commonly receive knocks and abrasion during work.
• Legacy2 suspensory design: Reinforces the suspensory area while allowing natural movement so support does not come at the cost of restricted gait.
• 100% virgin neoprene body: Four-way stretch neoprene conforms to the leg and provides a comfortable, flexible layer between the cradle and skin.
• Perforated neoprene: Perforations in the body help heat escape from the leg during exercise, improving comfort in longer sessions.

Who It's For

The Flexion Legacy2 hind boots are ideal for performance riders, turnout-focused owners, and trainers who need durable localized protection for fetlocks and suspensory regions while preserving a horse's natural motion. They suit horses prone to brushing or interference where conventional boots either slip or concentrate wear in the wrong area.

These boots are less appropriate for owners wanting full-cannon coverage or heavy splint protection; for horses that need rigid immobilization or broad-area blocking, a different boot style with full-hard-shell panels would be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Flexion cells provide targeted impact resistance and a nearer-to-skin flush fit that reduces shifting.
• Legacy2 suspensory support maintains natural limb motion while reinforcing critical leg structures.
• High-quality 100% virgin neoprene and perforations support flexibility and heat management for longer use.

Cons

• Not designed for full-cannon or splint protection, so riders needing broader coverage should consider other styles.
