Mistakenly posted! Wrong section

Sorry dog people.can’t delete so ignore!!



Can anyone recommend some boots that would fit a 15hh cob type please?
He’s been stiff in the mornings and In this really cold snap I’ve been bandaging which really helps. Today it’s not going to thaw so he’s gone out with PE drying leg wraps on!
Nothing seems to fit him properly though.
I thought If I got some proper waterproof ones designed to turn out I could use them then when it thaws and becomes muddy again.
Happy to buy a few sets so I can wash and wear.
It’s the fetlock area that’s always just wrong, plenty wide enough (currently in medium PE) but just the wrong shape as I think he’s legs are maybe ummm, stumpier (sorry pony!) than they are maybe designed for.
Any one have turnout boots on a cob type?

What does he need the turnout boots for?

Warmth, as above Ive notice a big difference in his stiffness since bandaging

My old arthritic cob is noticably better when wearing magnetic leg wraps
He wears them 24/7 including when out, I just take them off once a day to check for rubs or gubbins and wash as necessary
They're the Equ Streamz ones

I use the thermatex wraps on mine when they come in and overnight if freezing, I tend to put them on a while before riding as well just to warm the legs a bit which helps.

I used to use the neoprene turnout boots years ago not sure if the even do them anymore.

I would be inclined not to bandage for turnout as I think they have better freedom of movement, which should get the blood flowing more and help with stiffness. It is different when they are stabled, as they aren't moving, so old joints can seize up.

I have Shires Delux for the same reason, but not on a cob. They have a really long strap over the fetlock area so may make them fit better.

He’s never stables but has a surfaced pen and shelter so can move but I think tends not too.
