I have just moved to a new yard which is fab, the only problem is that the surface in the arena is quite deep. At the moment I am bandaging my horse's legs for flatwork so they can provide more support however this is a bit time-consuming (not that i'm slow but boots were made for convenience!!) and although I try not to jump very much in the school when I do I need something more protective than a bandage. Therefore I am wondering what boots people recommend to provide enough support for working on a deep surface but enough protection to jump etc? Thanks!
 
I dont think there are any boots which offer support. Protection maybe but really, a good brushing boot or one of the eventing type boots in lw material like the premier equine ones will be the best you'll find.
Maybe I'm just paranoid but I wont jump my horse on a deep surface
 
I know how you feel I try to avoid it at all costs and jump at my trainer's yard once every couple of weeks but sometimes before a competition I need to pop over a couple (on the firmest areas possible - even if that means an angled turn, good xc practice, haha!!), have been looking at the premier equine eventing boots maybe I will try them, thanks!
 
Not sure about the deep surface but i got some of the premier equine airflow xc boots a couple of weeks ago and really really impressed by them
