Anybody got any tips on how to get them to stay up? Ive got the top strap as tight as I can and one stays up fine but one keeps slipping down. I think its when he catches the edge of it when turning or when wet are trotting but it’s really annoying me and I want to start using them as we’ve had a few little trips lately and I don’t want him to protect his knees just in case. They are the woof wear ones.

I use old fashioned travel knee boots, not these neoprene ones, I like a leather pad over the joint - more protection. my 600 kilo mare coming down and maybe sliding on the knees (which she has) i want a solid leather pad like a cricket pad.

I do it up just under the chestnut as tight as I can 99% stay up. Cant stand the neoprene ones.

We have 3 pairs of the old fashioned leather and felt knee boots, different brands, for our 3 horses - we use them every time we hack on the road and don't have any problems. Sometimes I hack to a lesson and forget to take them off, and they stay on whilst jumping!

OP - Has the short elastic section weakened on the one which slips down?
 
I use westropps with velcro and a clip. I used to use the travel knee boots but was finding I needed to have the top strap really tight and I thought it might be uncomfortable for my horse. I use my westropps every ride and they always stay put.

They are brand new so no.
 
I use the Westropp ones with no problems and they only fall down sometimes if he falls over whilst ridden and slides in them a bit. Maybe he has fat knees!
