Beschlagschutz

English translation: farrier chaps, horseshoeing chaps

Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Horseshoeing, farriers
German term or phrase: Beschlagschutz
Sorry about the typo in my previous posting.

In a Swiss report on apprentice farriers:

"Arbeitskleider, gutes Schuhwerk sowie Beschlagschutz wurde von den Kandidaten getragen.
Schutzbrillen und Gehörschutz wurden von der Schule bereitgestellt."

If 'beschlagen' is to shoe (a horse), what is 'Beschlagschutz' in this context? Protective clothing?

Thanks for your suggestions.

agree  Cetacea: Since "Beschlagschutz" and "Beschlagschürze" (or sometimes even "Beschlagschurz") sound awfully similar, I'd go for this one. See e.g. http://www.loesdau.de/Beschlag-Sch�rze.htm?websale7=loesdau&...

  -> I never thought of that. Good point. Some Google images for "Beschlagschürze" show chaps.
