Can anyone recommend some? I dont normally turn out in anything other than his over reach boots but whilst the ground is so rutty, hard and snowy I have been putting a pair of old sports boots on his front legs as a couple of times he has looked a bit sore, Im sure its the hard ground causing it, hes out from 7-6 every day and potters about digging for grass or stuffing himself with hay. The boots have helped but Im wondering if those turnout chaps or similar would offer any support and protection. Ideas or suggestions folks!
 
He's probably pottering beacuse his feet are a little sore. We have put some Boa boots on our old TB as he doesn't have shoes and he is finding it a little hard going on the rutted ground so we feel this gives him some relief. We are only putting them on in the day time though and he pnly has them on the fronts as this is where he seems to suffer more.
