My louis doesn't like the long over the hock ones so I either use pads and fleece bandages or the snuggy wraps.
Arabi has weatherbeeta ones but they are really old and I have in the past just used nothing or what I would put on Louis.
I really like the Eskadron pads they are not too bulky and they don't seem to get too hot with those

When I bought my mare she came with some lemieux travel boots. I don't generally use travel boots but on this particular mare I have started using them and am quite impressed, the mare is not good traveller hence my reason for using them but they stay in place and hopefully are stopping her from knocking herself.

I have Premier Equine ones. They stay in place well and have never slipped so am pleased with them. One horse only wears fronts but the other has all round on the very odd occasion they travel these days!

Before I realise dhow much better he travels without them I used some Amigo ones that I had from my old pony. They must be 15 years old but still good as new and have been very well used

all time favourite Is shot boots and knee and hock boots.
I rarely ever see any of the all in one cover the knee when bent. I always bend the knee as if horse has fallen in trailer and most leave knee exposed those joints are precious and I want a leather pad protecting them,

I love my Mark Todd travel boots. They have put up with some serious battering from my bad traveller. My more sensible one has weatherbeeta ones, they do the job, but they are nowhere near as good as the Mark Todd ones.

If you are a dab hand at bandaging, (I am), then leg bandages all the way over travel boots. Much more comfortable and less restrictive for the horse, and you can add knee, hock and/or over reach boots if you want to.

I think mine are Mark Todd. I bought them second hand 14 years ago. They are very hard wearing although the scuff pads did eventually come off. I like them because they are nylon lined which makes them easy to wipe clean. I often have to put them on muddy legs for a journey home and I don't want to put dirty boots on clean white legs for my next outing.

Shires fleece lined boots, they don’t go over the hocks

i use a&j style fleece boots, or the supreme products fleece ones. i know for a fact both of my numpties would do more damage in full length padded ones

I loved these boots but you just don't see them anymore but they do offer the best protection.
I worked for someone who only used those for all her horses but that was years ago when I was young

Fo me the vulnerabe areas seem to be coronets/ heels, and knees. So I use these - but I bought them many years ago - I cannot believe the price of them now!!! Thankfully they seem pretty tough and have lasted well, so I would probably buy the same again if I had to.
