Do you boot your horse up, what with? And why?

i dont use any boots on my boy with him being an irish draught i dont really think he needs them as he doesnt have any conformation problems so why bother booting him up so that he relys on them
 
a)flat - woof brushing boots on front two legs, overreach boots - has had injuries in the field on those legs and is no longer insured so I use these to prevent injury.

b)jumping - tendon boots, overreach boots - same reason as above

c)hacking - same as schooling, would use knee boots if had to do roadwork

d)in field - if out for short amount of time while I muck out for eg then nothing, for longer then he wears turnout boots all round
 
a)flat- brushing boots on all 4, and sometimes over reach

b)jumping- tendon and fetlock boots, o/r

c)hacking- reflective brushing boots all 4 and o/r

d)in field- o/r

Why? because she brushes and has over reached in the past (duh
