I am after some advice as I have recently became the lucky owner of a gorgeous and very fine-boned 15.3 hh PRE stallion :D. My problem is that none of my tack and equipment (suited to my other stallion who is over 17 hh) fits him :(. I would like to order Lemieux support boots for him. The size chart tells me that size medium would be OK for him but the issue is that I have the same exact boots in large and they are quite big on him. Those of you who have these boots, can you please provide me with some insight about which size to order and whether small boots be too small for him. Any info will be much appreciated as I am not in the UK and cannot possibly send the boots back if they do not fit (as shipping back would cost me almost more than the boots themselves ;)).
To give you an idea, here is a photo of him in other boots that are also large in size (I do not use these anymore because the hind ones tend to slip down as you can see).

My very fine boned Arab mare [14.3hh] wears small fronts and medium behind, simply because they aren't long enough for her back legs if she wears small.
Fortunately, they can be done up as tightly as you need to.

I have the premier equine boots of the same support style and have exactly the same problem.
Small fit like a glove, but are too short.

I need, like, 'Arab boots' lol x

My 15.3 light WB has medium front and large hind and they are perfect. I would try the large you have on his hinds as medium might be too short

Thank you very much for your replies. I think I will go for medium fronts and large hinds as suggested :)
