Hind XC boots with cannon protection?

[RachelB]

Further to my post about the Prolite hind event boots that don't fit my horse (not wide enough in the medium, large too long) I want to find out if there are any other XC boots that offer cannon protection? Other than Prolite and NEW (not particularly fond of NEW boots). Preferably that would fit something with wide (but not really particularly chunky) legs. Any reccommendations? Oh, and preferably with either double velcro or really long straps!

Sportabac do some brushing boot type ones with tendon protection. Whats wrong with the prolites? Easily the best IMHO.

It's the hind ones I need though, Prolites fit in front!
They aren't big enough width-wise. The cannon protection sits on the inside of her leg, or if I put that in the right place then the velcro doesn't do up properly as the "end" of the boot is sat directly on her tendons. The large size is too long! Damn horse, I was hoping to have matching front and hind!

Ahh, ok, think N.E.W maybe your only choice, as they do wide med, so not too long

Style do some too but NEW ones are good.

contact prolite and see if they will make to measure.

Erm well I don't think that will be within my budget!
Thanks guys, I'm going to try the NEW ones I think.

I had some boots made to measure once, it only cost £5 more.

We have Equiflect back boots (which are extremely similar to Prolite) and they do made to measure for v little more. We bought a pair for our IDx who has 10" of bone. They can be googled for stockists.
