I have just clipped ponio and now no matter how tight i do them my boots and bandages just will not stay in place.

she needs to wear boots as we do fast work and jump XC fences every week and she has had a few scrapes so needs the protection.

is there anything i can put on her legs to help boots/wraps/bandages grip ?!

Don't use boots with any sheepskin or fleece lining. Leather boots can sometimes be hard to keep on also. I am afraid to say as well that I have only found cheap boots to slide and move, the more expensive ones tend to stay put. Have you tried eskadron ordinary tendon/fetlock boots with no lining. You can do these up quite tight with the thick elastic straps and they don't tend to go anywhere. Any boots with lots of elastic and velcro tend to stay on, boots with straps and buckles tend to slide.
What boots do you use?
 
ive got norton pro tendon and fetlock and they arent too bad they dont seem to move but they provide her no protection on the front of her legs which is where she has cut herself jumping this weekend so im paranoid about keeping them covered now.
i have got neoprene brushing boots which are ok-ish on her back legs but too big for her front, also got hi viz brushings that slip too they have double velcro but still no good!!
Clarendons dont stay up either

I know what you mean about buying the cheap stuff but i dont relaly want to spend £80 on a full set of boots if they wont stay up !! i need a try before you buy shop that would suit me great!
 
Hmm, I have a set of woof wear double lock brushing boots and the back ones can slip down a little bit on them if the horse gets sweaty. The best boots to get are ones with wide strips of elastic and velcro not just velcro on its own. Those support bandage type boots don't tend to slip much either, might be worth a look?
