Had a little debate at the yard the other evening.
I have a big mare (17hh) and splashing out on extra large boots all the time is quiet expensive as she does have a habit of breaking them somehow!
Now we don't jump much and mainly just school and hack so I use eskadron bandage pads and fleece bandages. I feel I can cover more of her leg/fetlock with them and I feel like I can give them more support with correct bandaging than I can with boots which are never big enough even at XL size.
Yet other liveries on my yard just use brushing boots as they are convenient and feel they have more protection but they are no bigger than 14hh ponies.
What are your opinions, do you prefer new technology boots or old fashioned bandages?
