Flex Hoof boot - gaiters

[vhf]

Hi flex boot users...
Can you go down a size in the neoprene gaiter? I have what seems to be the correct ones, but there seems to be a lot of neoprene everywhere compered to photos I see online. 120s on typical TB sized hooves/legs. Liking the boots, but not sure I've got the gaiters right.

They look about right to me. There should be a slight overlap if I remember correctly, but yes, you can downsize if you wish! Might be easier to just trim excess if it's the overlap bothering you/him, but that's irreversible of course!

Thank you. Maybe I just need to get on with it! Trimming probably not a good plan when they can't grow back. Artistic and handy I am not... And yes, I suspect it's me more than him that's bothered. He seems to really like the flexes (was in cavallos, but they are very clumpy on such dainty legs).

I have them and don't thread the pastern strap through the end slots on the gaiter. More overlap that doesn't run into an obstruction.

I only have them loose though, as they never seem to budge!

Mine don't budge (early days) either, and I am not convinced I am always correct tightness. Might see if my PC drilled 'never leave anything sticking out' brain can cope with not tucking away, as I am sure that doesn't help!
