My horse is recovering from an op in August and is allowed out in the field now. The vet advised me to bandage the affected leg to ride which I have been doing.
I have been putting him out in a premier equine sports boot but he has destroyed it! The neoprene has all come away from the velcro fabric and it's gone all baggy. So I think I need to invest in turnout boots. The other problem is that the YO is fed up of putting his boot on to turn him out on a morning and doesn't want to do it any more, and I am worried it's not being doen properly. It's not a large yard and she turns them out as a favour - it's a very laid-back set-up but suits my semi-retired horse. I can't go up on a morning on some days as I have to take my son & baby to school/childminders etc and get to work by 8. Would it be ok to leave him overnight in turnout boots if I got 2 pairs and swapped them over every evening?
Any ideas as to what type are the best for support? It's not a terribly muddy field.
