Boots for a Donkey

[SSM]

I have posted before that I never put boots on the Donkey - she dishes so she is more likely to knock her shoulders with her hooves as she paddles along!!!

However that needs to change as we can now get out and about

I am hoping to get some cross country training booked with my instructor - what do I need for her legs? so much has changed over the years is it tendon boots, brushing boots and do you still use over reach boots - and please recommend makes!!!

Yes I do have front travel boots, hock boots and bandages for the trailer!!!

I'd go for tendon boots just incase- have cut through brushing boots when mine over jumped down a drop! And only use overreach if needed/ likely to pull shoes off!!
Have fun!
p.s. premiere equine are v. good!

So tendon on the front, what about the back (that might sound really dim, but hey ho!!!)

 

[hollyzippo]

Either good brushing or comp boots? Look on premiere equine for ideas. I have the aircooled front and hind boots. And probably cheaper than woof boots!

Thanks will go and look, we won their jacket from a H&H comp and hubby loves it!

Agree with looking at Premier Equine, have some nice boots, if it was me I would go with the air cooled boots front and back and with Donkey's records of pulling shoes off perhaps over-reach boots too............ Yippeeee can't wait to see you out........are you going on sunday........

Really rate this range of boots. We use them a lot on the horses on my yard.
