Long boots, similar to mountain horse high rider??

[PapaFrita]

I had some mountain horse high rider boots, which I adored, but had problems with the zip (I believe this is quite common) I'd like some similar 'chunky' , soft boots for the yard and wondered if anyone knew of something similar to the high rider, but if poss more durable / cheaper.
Actually, I bought my high riders at least 4 years ago, and the design has been updated since then, so if anyone has the new design, how do they rate??
Thanks

i have hi rider sportative and i love them - but i only ride in them - i put them on as im about to mount and take them off when i get off - silly eh?? but i want to keep them nice and not trail through the mud with them!

 

[PapaFrita]

LOL! We don't usually have much mud around here, but I really want something I can keep on all day

My friend Anna is just like you... which is why she's had her boots in immaculate condition since she bought them yeeeeears ago!

Regent do the Pro-Rustler boot which is a similar style to MH boots... under £100 to which looks like a bargain....

OOOOHH didnt see you were in argentina!!! i am at work and
doing this in secret when i meant to be working so not paying attention!!! I guess you dont have much mud - is it really really hot there???

 

[PapaFrita]

Great, thanks

will look them up

 

[PapaFrita]

Well, normally it IS very hot and dry, although summer is much wetter than winter (which is relative!) We've had a crap summer this time though and it's been chucking it down for days! Got my wellies out for the first time in about a year!!!!

[PapaFrita]

Oh great

Shires are doing a nice one that look quite 'Mountain Horse' They retail around £60

Yes my mountain horse zip went very quickly .I have woof ones now that have valcroe on, very comfy but not quite as smart

 

[PapaFrita]

Woof eh? I'll have a look on eBay. Thanks

I'm on my second pair of MH HR boots. Love them to bits the zips can get caught but if you zip them up once you've used them it strains the zip less - I'll cry on the day they discontinue these or alternatively buys as many size 9 as possible

yep harry hall faro are very similar and i actually prefer my harry hall to mountain horse they are more comfy and not as tight

 

[PapaFrita]

Are the faro not a bit short though?

They do look very, very nice and are MUCH cheaper than MH
*am now casually going to google parkview saddlery..*

 

[wilder]

no they are fine i have very long legs and no problem with these i also have the harry hall ones with the lace down the side (can,t remember the name) and they are great to
in fact i daren,t say how many pairs of long riding boots i have, but i tell my oh it is my job to know which are the best ones so i have to try them all (well that is my excuse)

 

[PapaFrita]

Fab, thanks! the ones with laces are very nice too, aren't they? I'm afraid I have a rather strong long boot fixation too!!
