Evening all,

I realise this is not specifically competition related but I figured a few of you might have some useful suggestions.

Firstly any recommendations for some fairly tough every day over-reach boots? I've been using the rubber ones but they seem to rip quite easily so don't last long. He also wore the Woof Wear ones for a while but these were a bit too long (he's only got dainty feet). Ideally nothing too pricey.

And secondly some brushing boots for spindly legs - by spindly I mean sort of bony...as in the Eskadron brushing boots I currently have are letting bits of arena surface get down the gaps between his tendons and cannon bones. He tends to be a bit sensitive so I'm concerned about boot rubs. I'd seen the Lite brushing boots that N.E.W. do which are waterproof so can be quickly hosed down etc - any thoughts on these? Or other recommendations? Don't want anything too pricey as they're only for knocking about.

Ta muchly.

My 5yo is very spindly legged, she is only 15hh and has wafer-thin legs, but they are normal horse length! I have found the NEW fleece lined ones good as the fleece seems to fill in the gaps.

I have bought a pair of OR boots too, but they probably aren't every day. I can't remember what make they are, they are in the tack room and I'm at a crucial point with the risotto otherwise would go and look

we have just got some OR boots from premier equine peachesandcream from here told me about the old style being on sale (£7 per pair for neoprene style) im very impressed with them so far especially for the price

For my dainty little TB i use tri zone over reach boots which have been great but i think they cost about £20ish but may be wrong. Would really recommend them though!
