premier equine sports boots....good or bad?

[goneshowjumping]

thinking of buying the premeir equine sports boots, does anyone have any, and are they any good?
they are the cheapest sports boots ive found, unless anyone knows of any others?

they are very much like the Professionals choice but I have found they come a little larger that expected. My friend also has the all in one with the over reach boot attached they are also great!

These the ones that wrap under the fetlock? If so I have a set for my guys back legs and they worked a treat

 

[goneshowjumping]

thanks guys, yeah they are the ones that go under the fetlock, sort of like a bandage, but much quicker to put on!

vixtucker, you say they come up a bit larger, i have a 16.1hh tb, and was ordering the meduim for fronts, would i be going along the right lines?

I also have a 16.1hh tb and I have the medium too

 

[goneshowjumping]

ok, so did they fit or were they too big?

 

[goneshowjumping]

Mine has very twiglety legs and done up tight they are fab, Also because there is no specific fluffy velcro section (velcro can attach to whole boot) they are fine to over lap. They are great in length too. I definitely wouldnt go for a small just because you need the length to wrap the support strap under the fetlock. I have them in green which is much more subtle than I thought it looked in the pic.

I have these and they are great. My mare takes Medium on the front and Large on the hinds.

I actually went for the TSX Protection Boots from premier equine. They give that little more protection as they are double layerd and have the tendon stips at the back to hug the back of the leg and stops twisting. They are only a few pounds more. I have white and they wash up really well with a little ace stain remover in the detergent.
I have a 16.1 IDxTB and was advised by the sales team that I would need a medium on the fronts and large at the back. This is what I ordered and they fit perfectly.

Why is it Premier Equine just doesnt fit my horse

. I have the sports boots too, excellent quality but the barely fasten round his legs and I have the xl hinds, large fronts. They are long in length though. The rugs dont fit my boy either, wont fasten round his chest. He isnt freaky or anything, hes a 16.2 MW ID x TB with 9.5ins of bone.

I have a 16.2hh TB who has had a hard 10yr steeplechasing career, followed by 2yrs of international eventing. I have bought him for general hacking and more gentle jumping etc, but have noticed that his hind fetlocks are very sensitive and am looking for suitable fetlock support. Can anyone advise if they have used Premier Equine sports boots for this purpose or indeed another product that has worked well for supporting fetlocks. Many thanks

I believe studies have been done, and boots and bandages offer virtually nothing in the way of support.
