Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice here...
Need a pair of long comp boots mostly for dressage a bit of everything. I have been trying to buy a pair of the Mark Todd Long Competition Feild (with laces) boots but they seem to have stopped making them and cant get them anywhere in a Size 5...
Recommendations of who to look at and who to avoid? Also opinions on those who cut off the back of a van and built a new body OR using a low-loader type which already has a Luton body (furniture removal van type)?
