Hi can you please recommend some knee boots for hacking. I've been to Derby house today and they have had none instock for months and dont think they are getting them in anytime soon useful I know! Can anyone recommend a good pair before I start googling many thanks.
 
Try the Westropp Knee/Brushing boots - far easier to fit than the rugging/leather ones and you can canter in them safely too!

3rd item down - I've had mine 3 years + and still going strong. Most of our yard have them now for hacking - we've had 4 horses go down on the roads (rubbish, worn surfaces round here, tourist area)
Sadly 2 of the horses that went down bought the boots AFTER the event (having laughed at my cob in his knee boots :()
 
Another vote for the westrop brilliant do not move even doing faster work, I've sometimes gone out for short ride and come back and gone in the school and trotted and cantered, they are great, definately definately get them, you don't have to mess around with sperate boots. In the past I used sportabac knee boots, until one day, don't know if I didn't do them up properly but one slipped, I didn't know, it was round his fetlock, he stood on it with the other foot, as I didn't have a clue what was going on I suddenly had no horse in front of me and I was in a ditch and nearly ended up on barbed wire, didn't use them after that, not the boots fault fully but I could never have trusted them again
 
Another vote for Westropp, they havn't moved at all when putting the local stubble fields to good use :D . I think they are Shires Westropp now so you can ask your local Shires dealer to order them for you, although the Barnstormers ones are a very good price, think i got a pair from them 18months ago, they delivered quite quickly.
