Turnout boot recommendations.

[KatB]

Due to the mare being a prat, we've had a recent injury scare, so i am now contemplating turning into a "boot for everything" person to avoid future vet bills, as she is very "active" in the field!

So, any recommendations? I would like something as lightweight as possible, but also not too expensive as she is likely to get the teeth involved at some stage....

My list is:

Prem equine Airtec boots
Lemieux mesh brushing boots
Woof Wear club boots
Le Mieux stealth boots or NEW lwt boots (though would rather not spend this much money!)

Thoughts please?

I have a set of PE Air Cooled Event Boots and a set of Woof Club Boots for turnout - both sets absolutely fine and have lasted a few years

NEW lightweights or aircooled. They are mega-tough and so lightweight that she prob won't even realise they're on. I use mine for turnout on the loonies.

Trizone do 'air' boots too?

Thanks Kerilli and Pasha

Sneedy, I know, but they're ££!! also heard they are prone to rubbing?

I use the castle turnout boots from old dairy or woofs

I use the castle turnout boots too! They are cheap so you can keep replacing as I do find with turnout boots no matter how much you spend they take a battering and need replacing. They are also cheap enough to buy two full sets so you can wash a set. Have used them everyday and no problems with them at all!

I have a livery who is the same as your girl, owner has PE air cool/breathe able boots for him that seem to do the trick, plus he's a sensitive TB and hasn't had a rub yet.

I have the NEW lightweight cheapies which I use for hacking/turnout and they seem to do the trick. Don't get as hot as neoprene either as they are that different lining.

I find the PE air cooled racing boots are good as turnout boots, I got them cheap in the sale not sure what they are normally

I also got the PE racing boots in the sale, they are cool and really lightweight and don't rub mr delicate (who's welsh and should live up a sodding mountain!) he wore them the majority of the winter and they're still going strong if a little scuffed.
