Boots for XC and hunting?

[Oaksflight]

Hoss needs some new booties, just for xc and hunting really. Any recommendations? Preferably not TOO expensive. Been looking at the NEW ones which seem quite good.

Thanks in advance. x

We have the NEW boots and really like them, very secure

Ditto NEW - although if you go for another brand, make sure they don't absorb water otherwise you'll lose them out hunting.

I use my prolites, and they have never moved out hunting, and I prefer the tendon guards on them in comparison to the NEW ones.

yep, try NEW and if you want free postage when you by them see http://www.totally-tack.co.uk/acatalog/N_E_W__boots_.html


best wishes

I have NEW on front then double lock woofs on back. Neither move and I have no rub marks.
I would definately advise tendon guards as I know a horse who had no boots on that severed its tendon last year - poor little cob had to be put down despite £5ks worth of surgery. Till that happened I had double lock woofs on front but after this the NEWs came out.

Have ordered NEW fronts & hinds (last week) still haven't arrived yet but will let you know how we get on

The light weight competition N.E.W ones are good and they don't absorb too much water. Hate hate hate sheepskin lined boots avoid!
Dalmer do a good boot that is light and has a very strong tendon guard like the look of them. Not used Prolite before tho

Guarantee N.E.W won't stay put out hunting. Prolite or Clarendon hunters don't ever move out hunting and N.E.W are great for XC.

premier equine do some fab boots of hunting and x country and are a very reasonable price too.

 

[Oaksflight]

I was thinking about those. Shall probably go with them then as heard many good things about them!

P.S Bit of a blonde moment, they're not for hunting, just xc.

I like my NEW ones

Do you wear boots for hunting though? I've been told not to as causes the legs to overheat and the tendon to split, or something along those lines. However, surely if I get some along the lines of prolite, they're designed so that the tendons don't overheat?! xx
