Hind Jumping Boots that help action??

[evsj]

No, but I was getting at that. I've seen peculiar spikey mats wrapped around the poles at one (top) yard and know someone whose trainer encourages her to rap her young horses.

If I have digressed I apologise but what I mean is that boots that aid action could be considered cheating but other methods of cheating seem to go on all the time, anyway. I was a bit shocked that I had seen in the places I had but maybe I'm just being naiive.

Oh I know someone that talked about wiring up a scaffolding pole to an electric fencing unit, and jumping horses over that...... whether was done or not....

Those are just the bristle door mats nailed to a pole.

I used these in Australia for top show jumper.

Basically you do the boots up so tight and as they are rigid down the back the horse can't tuck up under it has to extend legs out so with some horse making more careful jump.
