Amigo or Rhinegold Travel boots?

[diluteherd]

Which would you go for? Ive found both at the same price - Rhinegold are same as the amigo 3 strap velcro fastening hoever rhinegold have a kick guard and advertise as rip stop, were as amigo dont..

This is why internet shopping is so hard - you can sniff out a bargain however you cant always tell the quality!!

Thanks for any advice!

I'm sure that either would be fine. My personal preference would be Amigo, as I find Horseware gear in general to be well-designed and hard wearing.

I even had Amigo slip on my mare but she does fidget when travelling.

Totally given up and now have 4x over reach and 4x brushing boots.

i bought the rhinegolds in a hurry as they were cheap and they have ended up lasting years! Theyre fab!

Amigos are fab but quite small. Large fit a 16hh TB quite snugly.

Rhinegolds are fab but quite big!

I bought a pair a few years ago for a 6hour drive and I wanted LG to have tough boots rather than bandages like normal - heel guards, ripstop, etc. I got pony size and they would fit up to about 14.1hh relatively easily as LG's about 13.3hh and the hind ones were still quite long. Great boots though - easy to clean as well!

Amigo if you have a finer horse, the rhinegolds are okay but went down past my mares knees
