[silverbullet]

Does anyone use these. I'm looking at getting some for my old boy, just for extra support for his legs.

Any info on them positive or negative welcome also any other suggestions???

i think they are ok, but not that tough! i have brought soem kieffer wrap around (sports) boots whicha are the same idea, but in my opinion better ...

I have some and think they are really good. I don't have any boots for Charlie at the moment so he has been wearing the wraps for hacking, schooling and jumping. They still look like new after I put them through the machine (even though they are not machine washable!

). The only thing I would say is that Charlie's legs have been sweaty after every time he has used them.

They won't support the inside of your horse's legs. Nor will anything currently commercially available.
I have some for my mare, just to make me feel like I'm doing something to help her old tendon injury

They fit really well, don't move or rub at all, and best of all don't make her at all sweaty. Same with when I used them on my share horse and made him work 10x harder than I work my mare.
What they are not, is brushing boots. Neither of the horses I've used them on have brushed very badly, so they have been fine. If you want brushing boots, buy brushing boots

I don't use any other wrap-type boots (SMBs etc) as they will do more damage than harm by heating the tendons.

i quite like mine but as other posts not brushing boots and i'm not sure how much protection they offer but easy to fit/use and keep clean

Thanks for your replies - I only want them for a bit of extra support - he doesn't brush so don't need any protection for brushing.
