Was suggested I try these, does anyone know what they are like?

Do they work and if so how they humanely encourage use of the hind legs effectively in the air? :confused::confused:

A friend uses them with great success. They don't appear to need to be particularly tight to be effective and don't have anything to harm a horse.
 
i've just bought some and nearly got launched into orbit the first time i used them! my horse is very careful naturally tho and only hits things when i ride like an idiot. a lot of pro sjers use them and other similar types of boots- but i would only use them in comps and not for schooling in. in fact i've been putting them on after warming up to SJ....just before going in the ring.
 
There are 2 schools of thought about using them - some say just put them on to go in the ring. My friend uses them for schooling and warm up too as the horse can over-react and frighten itself by coming too high behind. He finds it best for the horse to be used to them and jump in a consistent way.
 
i'm not entirely sure but think its to do with where the straps go- it causes a bit of a pinch effect which causes them to exaggerate the movement behind. but i could be wrong....
