Yes, I have some in white. They look lovely and in dry conditions perform well and do not slip. However, when I went X-country schooling (water schooling) they got sodden and slipped - had to get off several times to replace them!!
So, yes they are great, but don't get em wet!!

I used them all round for turnout over the whole winter, as our fields are on clay and slippery, and my girl has a tendency to injure herself. They did a brilliant job. One pair did get mashed after a few serious hoolies (her legs would have been in shreds without them), and the suspensory strap has a tendency to fray, especially as I rinsed and span them every night in the washing machine. You don't want to dry them over direct heat like radiators though or they go stiff.
I like the fact they aren't rigid but they are firm enough to stay in place, and the fit is excellent on my 16hh ISH. They didn't make her legs sweat in the winter, although I'm not using them for turnout now as they would heat her legs too much.

i used to use them all the time after my horse damaged his suspensory - we did 10mile sponsored rides including water in them and they never slipped although they do get very soggy and heavy - i also did all my XC in them and hacking including rivers and didn't find slipping a problem, but my horse has very hairy legs which probably keep them up!
