Good Morning,

I am looking at getting some Premier Equine Sport Combo boots (brushing and overreach in one) for my 17th leggy boy.

I was wondering if any of you have used them before and what you think of them.

He will be wearing them for hacking, schooling and jumping when he starts his training this year. He brushes and overreaches although is getting better but quite often he does this in a place the 2 separate boots dont cover.

I have heard that it can make their legs really warm, however, surely there isnt too much difference between him wearing brushing and over reach heatwise?

If you could let me know your honest opinions that would be great.

Thanks

Rachel
 
I use tendon and over reach boots for my TB but will get him a pair of combo boots instead at some point :) I dont think they will be too hot and I think the added protection is def worth it!
 
Just bought them in the sale for my mare who sometimes steps on herself when being silly, very good customer service, fast ship and answer any questions quickly.
Finding a bit awkward to put on so they look neat and secure but I suppose takes time and practice, they are a bit fiddlier than the sport boot. Not read on here that PE neoprene boots are heating because of the airtech neoprene they use.
 
I have the wraps and used them for extra support in the winter. Chose not to use them in the summer as thought they could cause overheating. However, when I used them on my 5 year old, he struggled with them on his hind legs and kept breaking and changing leg. Took them off and he was fine again. I didn't have this problem on my previous horses but they were more established so bear that in mind. They are a pain to put on but don't slip once you have done it and do wash wear as well.
 
I love these boots! I am on my second pair as my mare can trash them after a season's dragging and team chasing.

I have found the best way to put them on is to do the overreach part first then work down from the top strap. The bottom strap needs to go underneath the fetlock and up at an angle on the inside.

I haven't found them to be anymore heating than other boots and I love that the fetlock joint is covered it reduces the risk of a thorn entering the joint.
 
Great to read such an emphatic reply to the positive and tyvm for the tips on getting the on! Will practice some more when she is not constantly filthy lol darn this weather!!
 
I have a pair of these but mainly used them as travel boots on my boys hind legs as he used to tred all over himself.
I did use them to hack out a couple of times on the front legs (he did move a bit funny when they were on his hinds) and they did heat the legs more than a pair of seperate brushing and over reach boots would.
I wouldn't wear them for jumping as they don't have much tendon protection (I would suggest tendon or X Country boots that have a good protection strip instead) and I wouldn't recommend them for X country either as they will hold the water.
