pleese recommend me some knee boots

for my horse - i have a 4 yr old that went down on his knees t'other day. need a good pair of knee boots that actually work. any recommendations?

Get the Shires/Westropp Brushing / Knee boots - a doddle to fit and they definitely won't drop down/trip your horse up - PLUS you can canter safely in them!

I also do use the leather/rugging ones (in fact my horse did fall wearing them) and thank God he wasn't marked - (keeps fingers crossed). But IMO they are harder to fit and a bit fiddly in cold weather - I have very poor circulation and my hands go completely dead) hence I now use the Shires ones.

Always go for leather ones, they will take the weight & impact of a horse falling to their knees & offer real protection. They can be expensive so look on Ebay.

get porter knee boots they are rather crudley made but wouldnt put anything else on my horse they are fantastic i really do rate them. they are only 24 quid a pair but they are brill. i wear them out hunting every time and would never go hunting with out them.

Dever Saddlery do some great leather ones under the Ascot brand. I use them on my boy.
Their website is www.deversaddlery.co.uk - click on Ascot bridlework on the left hand side and then select 'other items'. Knee boots are at the top.
