Anything Mountain Horse in a short regular for me - I have long thighs and short calves and it's a flipping nightmare finding boots. I now just look out for mountain horse boots on sale.

So, after riding in country boots or jod boots & chaps for most of my life, I am now looking for my first pair of long riding boots (at the grand age of almost 30).

I'd like them for general riding; riding club; etc. We don't tend to compete although give most things a go at local level and take part in regular endurance rides. So just wanted a boot that looked smarter for 'off the yard' activities - will keep my country boots for hacking & schooling at home.

Can anyone recommend? What do you have and why? Pics?
I don't have £££££ to spend, but don't want synthetic or plastic leather either!

If you are still looking give Classic boots a try, they have started back up. though content on their site is limited I know my race exercise boots lasted me many years
