Mare and I are attempting our first XC this weekend and I am not sure what footwear to put on her! When I last did a round it was those bell over reach boots that made a noise and sticky bright coloured bandages and gamgee - v old school! Anyway I have normal over reach boots which I shall use and neoprene woofwear brushing boots, but also have front and hind Keiffer wraps with gel in although these can trap water, does that matter? We are doing a baby beginners course so is hardly badminton (will leave the grease for her legs at home!) and its on a surface track so shouldnt be too muddy. Also do I wear white jods? Cant stretch to buying silks yet so will have to be old jumper under body protector! Thanks - sorry if this post sounds hopeless!!!
 
id go for the woof wear boots if just jumping mini... I have a bit of a thing about boots that hold water i just dont think it can be that comfy... like running in wet trainers...? Does your horse over reach? if so then overreachboots too!
 
Def go for white/cream jods, you'll look much smarter!
