westtrop over reach boots making a come back????

[palomino_pony]

Just put some black and white westtrop over reach boots on ebay and got 5 watchers already (in 10 mins). Am I missing something? Are they making a comeback? They used to be "cool" when I was pony clubbing (9 yrs ago!)

OMG I hope not, I hated the things with that awful flapping noise. They were extremely popular though.

 

[palomino_pony]

I agree totally. I had a spring clean today and put all the stuff I rarely use on ebay. I didn't think anyone would want them!

 

[lucemoose]

Oh, Ive got some white and navy ones..they can go on eBay tomorrow!!

 

[Law]

I am uncool then

I bought some petals and made some red and navy ones which didn't really go with my navy/burgundy colours so I ebayed them too and they sold.
I've got black ones now that match my boots

I'm uncool as well.Ihave some white one's to go with my white reins and white bandages! How very 80's and sad am i?!

 

[Tinker_Belle]

this explains it a bit, apparently it's a safety thing in eventing?

Can't say I was ever a fan although I guess they're handy in the fact that they are adjustable

 

[palomino_pony]

Crazy!!!

)

Baddd palomino pony..look you have created a monster!

 

[palomino_pony]

Sorry!!!!!

 

[princesskelly]

Dont think i would have the gut's for the pink and purple over-reach boot's!

 

[Chex]

I LOVE my clicky boots! Unfortunately they irritated his legs so can't use them any more

. That article says the petal will break if they stand on it, but the strap snapped on mine and I lost the whole boot! I haven't seen anyone using them for at least 5 years though

Mine are red and black

 

[kerilli]

i've still got a black pair for sj and a red and blue pair for xc... might dust them off this year as the mare's feet are smaller than all my other over-reach boots...
i never used to notice the noise they made at all, fwiw, too busy concentrating!

Purple ones might be ok. I think brown or black looks smart though (I am soooooo boring!

)

 

[dozzie]

I still use mine. I like them purely because they dont invert. They are fiddly and im sure there is better on the market but I have several pairs to wear out!!!!

And i like the flappy noise!!!!

I dont have multicoloured ones though! I'm not that tacky!!!

I also have some white rubber ones to go with my white rubber reins, white girth, white trimmed bridle, white German boots..........................................etc
