Tendon Zandonà Carbon Air EP Tendon Extra Protection. The 100% made in Italy CARBON AIR EP Tendon have an Extra Protection necessary for horses that tend to hit their opposite limb’s area below the knee with their horseshoe. The Extra Protection is realized with an ergonomic extension of the Neoprene padding coated with an anti-wear carbon-look film. They have been studied to defend jumping horses from collisions and bruises at forelimb’s fetlock and part of the cannon, while offering tendon support. They are composed by external TPU structure with differentiated thickness, transpiring thanks to the perforated Neoprene and ventilated by 6 Air-Vents located over the fetlock. Gel-Tech is included between the external TPU structure and the Neoprene support, where necessary, working as shock absorber and comfortable padding. Carbon Fibre elements are present under the shell to thermally insulate the joints from the heat generated by external friction, while increasing the mechanical resistance to impacts. On the internal side, closed to the long-pastern, have been created a Flex-Zone, necessary to allow maximum freedom of movement to the limb. The elastic straps with quick-release-tip have been calibrated for a secure closing, they are in-fact provided of double locking system (horizontal/vertical). Its dimension and absolute ergonomic shape have been developed copying accurately the limb structure, guaranteeing a perfect positioning while avoiding any kind of stress.
