Boots or bangages?

Sorry for spelling mistake in title !

Do you use brushing boots or bandags out hacking? And why?

 

[michellev123]

Anyone else?

boots...less likley to slip, unravel ect. last thing you want is a bandage slipping on a hack really

For hacking I use Hi Viz boots

 

[Silverspring]

Boots now after a recent injury after taking my horse out on a hack without any form of protection. Bandages are fine for short work but I wouldn't want to bandage up and hack for 3 - 4 hours, think they're legs would get a bit hot and sweaty.

Boots. They offer more protections to the legs and bandages dont actually support the tendons any more than boots unles you bandage all the way down the pastern- and even then the support is negligible.

Boots! It's just easier! I only bandage for travelling.

I find bandages protect more of the leg than boots - they can cover a bigger area. If it's a particularly long hack or a boiling hot day I'll stick the vented boots on though, but make sure I'm not going through the woods where legs are more likely to get scratched and caught.

Nothing for hacking, bandages for travelling, brushing boots for XC.

All my horses wore boots whatever they where doing, prevention is better then cure in my book.

 

[JenHunt]

nothing for hacking or hunting, and he wears eventing type boots for eventing (oddly! )

Tom wears prolite front event boots for everything because he's a bit special and comes up in lumps and bumps from kicking himself!

Ellie wears her sheepskin Eskadron tendon boots for hacking, schooling and XC (I also put fetlock boots on for XC).

When travelling, I use boots with bandages underneath.
