For riding in? mountain horse protective jodphur boot - i get through a pair every 5 years wearing them non stop and thats only because i dont look after them!

Hi, cant give you the links as my boss got them for us but can reccomend the regents, very comfy and hard wearing. There the ones in the style of jodphur boots so can be used for riding too, there also smart ive used them when showing at local shows.

I would not reccomend moutain horse boots my boss got these previously and they caused foot problems in all 5 of us at work, i got bad corns from them and the other girls had problems too.

I'm the same - the Mountain Horse ones last me about 2 or 3 years - i wear them pretty much 24/7 when it's not wet and muddy - I walk the dogs in them as well as ride. Pretty good value at less than 50p a week until they fall apart.....

For yard work, I used to have a pair of Dickie's steel toe cap wellies. They are kitemarked for use around heavy machinery, so I always felt safe leading bouncy TB's in them, and they were properly waterproof and grippy in the wet mud, and they only cost me about £13 including delivery. I got them for a slightly reduced price through my dad's company, but even at full RRP they are very reasonable. They did only last one winter - after being trodden on by shod hooves one too many times the rubber eventually split - but I'm buying a new pair this year because I loved them so much, they were the comfiest wellies I've ever had. I could do 11 hours of yard work and leading and not even be footsore by the end of the day!

I don't work for Dickie's, I just really loved those wellies... :

I have these, they are fab- cosy and comfy and keep my toes safe!

ps. the dickies wellies do sound like a great idea

Euitector joddie boots?

I got the dublin venturer, they are lovely to ride in, but I found where I have a funny shape right big toe, it rubs where the steel finishes if you know what I mean. I think I could have done with a 6 but I didn't find this problem out until I'd worn them so couldn't take them back, £56 down the drain, I have worn them riding but I thought if anything happend while I'm out and I had to walk home I wouldn't be able to, so just use them in the school

Another vote for the Mountain Horse Protective.

I vitually live in mine and buy a new pair roughly every 18 months.

I have bought them continuously for the past 12/13 years. Very comfortable and nice to ride in.

I too use the mountain horse protective.

Boots like shoes fit differant types of foot shape, what suits one person may not suit another. The only way to find out is to go to a shop and try them on. Once you find the make that suits your feet then that is what to buy.

mountain horse again!!! Ive lived in them for years now and they have saved mey toes on many a time! Thay are heavy boots so take a little time getting used to and breaking them in but well worth it. Ive done miles and miles in them on the yard and leading up and miles and miles riding too.

I'd completely forgotton I'd posted this - thanks guys, shall pass the info on

I don't know what they are called but I pinched them off my OH - they are fan dabby dosey - althought 1 size too big, I dont care. They have a fantastic thick sole on them and they keep my feet toasty warm - just thought I'd share that one with you all!!!!

Another vote for the Mountain Horse. I have had mine about 4 years and live in them. Very comfortable and in winter I can put two pairs of socks on. I confirm that they can take 720 k odd of Farra Clydesdale and my toes are intact.

When you have heavy horses, you really do need to consider safety boots as toes and Clydesdales don't mix well. That said, it is normally the smaller horses that get my feet as the big ones seem to be far more careful with their feet.

Without a doubt - the mountain horse protective:

I've had 2 pairs in 10 years; I don't look after mine either! My mum and 2 frinds have bought them now too!

P.S. I love your sig! I wish I was small enough to ride ponies. SO much fun, I MISS THEM!! And if I think back, I just couldn't wait to get into horses and be all grown up. Fool!!

Don't touch Rydale, cheap but not cheerful. Split after 3 times wearing.
