Description

Flex rivets are used to attach the TPU gaiter to the boot at the back. Sometimes, if the horse overreaches and steps on the boot, these rivets may break or get damaged. It’s easy to remove and replace the rivets though. You can use a drill or nippers to remove a damaged rivet and then replace it with a hammer, below is a link to videos to show you how to do this.

Flex rivets come as part of the standard Flex Boot set when you purchase a boot, or with a spare TPU gaiter if you purchase it separately as a replacement part.

Sold in packs of 8 (8 male rivets + 8 female rivets).

I always keep a pack of these in my Flex boot repair kit. Very easy to use. It takes just seconds to replace a missing or damaged rivet.

My little horse bent a TPU gaiter rivet, probably among the rocks on Dartmoor. I was dreading the faff of replacing it but it was really simple. Only took a couple of minutes using pointy pliers to remove the broken rivet and a tap from a hammer to put in the new one. Simple.
