Premier Equine Stable wraps - anyone used them for travelling

[Tangaroo]

I just wondered if anyone uses these and how they rate them. My youngster really doesnt like hind travel boots. I travel him in back brushing boots at the moment but when i start travelling further i want something with more protection. I could bandage but being a typical youngster he is rather lively when arriving somewhere new and i want something easy to remove so i dont risk getting flattened whilst taking bandages off.

I don't think I have used them for travelling but had a set for one horse to help reduce mud fever and keep his legs warm, they were really good, fitted snuggly and I think they would be fine to travel in they come well down over the coronary band so offer decent protection. The Velcro was very good so they should stay on well.

I use them for travelling one of mine. They obviously don't protect as well as travel boots but they do a similar job to bandages.

Thankyou. I dont mind that they dont cover the hocks as my lorry is fully lined with rubber stock board and my boy doesnt sit on his back end so its more to protect his fetlocks and coronary bands from treading on himself or hitting the partition.

I don't like to travel in any sort of boot personally, however I have taken to putting my PE magnetic stable wraps on for travelling, so he has had them on before competing. If done up properly they are fine.

I use them for travelling infront as mine get travel boots off and panics! I don't use them behind as my horse boots the lorry and they don't cover the hocks. I also use them at stay aways to keep him clean I won mine but would have been worth every penny if I had bought them!

I only use mine for travelling. I have the plain ones not the magnetic. I put them on after bathing on the way to a show as they help to dry the legs. I put front and back on too - I know they don't come over the hocks, but they not only keep the legs clean, but they also protect the rest of the legs, just as they would if I bandaged them - I don't like normal travel boots, see too many injuries from horses going nuts having had one slip.

I will be buying another set when I start traveling my two horses together, although that won't be for a while so no rush.

I use mine for travelling. They stay put really well!

I have cheap Horze ones for travelling only. I combine them with OR boots.
Much prefer to the big travel boots which often seem to cause more problems than they solve

I have the magnetic ones and use them for travelling occasionally, especially after fast/hard work. mine travels fine in anything so it depends what we are doing/where we are going as to what she wears

I use mine for travelling. They are extra useful if you've washed legs off before you travel as they dry them on the way!

I use mine for travelling. Very useful boots

I wouldn't chose to use boots on a good traveller but as mine is a bit too arab sometimes I use these Stay put perfectly, don't arrive hot under them even after 10/11 hours, easier to get off than bandages but if they really don't stand as they have three straps (only single velcro) you need a nimble groom!

Thanks for all the comments. I have ordered some so will see how we get on. He is a good traveller but i would be happier for longer distances if he was wearing something on his hinds to stop him treading on himself
