Sports boots/ wraps

[Coffee_Bean]

What are your thoughts on boots that wrap under the fetlock too?? Any advantages over normal brushing boots?

Which would you recommend??

I'm having trouble finding any...

My thoughts - no point. If your horse brushes, get brushing boots. If you want support, keep hoping something will be invented that can provide that. Otbherwise don't bother cooking your horse's legs. Especially not with SMBs/similar.

I had Professional Choice sports boots (purple ones) for Tigs. I found them hard to put on properly

I agree with MrsMozart - it took me about 5 minutes to put a pair on, and then they slipped anyway! A waste of time and money i'm afraid.

I use them as my horse has fetlock issues. Don't find that they warm the legs at all actually and surprisingly. I thought the legs would be really sweaty underneath but thats not the case. They are also easy to put on but I am always wondering if I've put the straps in the right place, so it could be I'm putting them on completely wrong.

If they stay on and your horse can move, then you're probably ok

I now looking for tendon boots instead...

I love the premier equine sports boots with kevlar and double fetlock protection!

I have the plain 20.00 sports boots and when i took my horse xc schooling to test her "bad" fetlock they didnt move of slips and they have loads of little holes in the inner so keep legs cool too.

I have put a pair of the sports boots 30.00 ones on my xmas list.
