Best Tendon Boots

[sarahs]

Hi

I need to purchase some new tendon & fetlock boots - what are the best boots on the market ?
Ideally leather with a sheepskin option, I have just purchased some from equiport but they have come up really small and will be sending them back.

Ah i was going to say equiport but my mare has lil leggies so were perfect for her!
Amergio ones?

When you say "best"

Do you mean the fancy nice boots with a brand or boots that actually protect the tendon?

 

[sarahs]

Well part of me would like to say fancy and branded - but I will have to answer most protection !

I have just ordered an Equilibrium Tri-Zone Duo pack after reading good reviews on them.

They were supposed to come today but they haven't!

Where did you get those from, is the duo pack the one that is reduced when you get the fetlock boots to.

I have been googling those today to try to find some.

I use Dalmars - I won't put anything else on my horse. They are the only ones with proper carbon fibre protection that will withstand a strike to the tendon.

Eskadron, Veredus etc etc all very nice, but do b*gger all if your horse does a real tendon strike.

Yep! It's £59.90 for both and I think it would be £80 otherwise.
I found them hard to find too but got them from here:

Ayr Equestrian

Oh --- thats good to hear as they are the ones ive been looking at - do you know of a good stockist of the damlars ?
I currently have the eskradron and agree that they do naff all ! - Also a bit annoyed as the sheepskin is coming off in clumps and they are under a year old!

Thanks, just ordered some

I just got my tri-zone duo pack, ordered tues (very late!!!) and arrived thurs, very impressed as fit baby very well!!!

Try Barnsby - they were gorgeous, but came up too big on my mare so I had to sell them!

Eskadron- love them i keep buying more sets

they wash really well as well

Watch the sizing on Dalmars as I think they come up small.

Veredus every time! We have found they give excellent protection and support.

 

[flyingfeet]

Dalmars are fine on my chunky boys

I'd like to know why most of you believe a thin <5mm thick piece of PVC or leather is going to protect from a tendon strike???

Dalmars for me!! Got the leather tendon and fetlock boots. Very smart and as Cotswold SJ said, very good protection!!
