[DBrasnett]

what boots do people use for x-country?

brushing?
tendon?
galloping?

such a range, I have no idea where to start....

 

[madhector]

I use prolites

 

[KatB]

me too, although also use NEW lwt infront aswell!

 

[Cullohill]

i use NEW in front and Sabre hind - just bought the sabre and really impressed with them.

 

[Baydale]

Prolites in front and Sabre or Lucinda Green leather ones behind. I've got a full set of the Sabre ones with the tendon protectors in but they're Hector's and he doesn't let anyone borrow them.

style boots

personally i use prolites in front, and premier equines behind.
also have an old pairs of NEWS which are good for every day, but i dont feel they offer sufficient protection to the front of the leg, as the foam isnt that thick. my old pony wacked a fence in front and bruised quiet badly, as the NEWS (lightweight ones) just arnt that thick.
i would say prolites were best for infront

I use eskadron xc boots all round

 

[Jul]

I use the NEW competition boots all round. Fleece lined, tendon protection, I think they're good.

 

[MagicMelon]

I use NEW lightweight competition boots all round. They're brilliant.

 

[emmah]

Prolites all round...they are fab for protection and wash really well in the washing machine

 

[Pep12]

Premier equines all round. they offer really good protection and don't cost a bomb. Used to have NEW wear ones but the back ones always swivelled round, premier ones never budge.

 

[archoak]

As Pep, great boots and we use the air cooled xc ones all round.

 

[ajn1610]

Sabre event boots, I have an old pair that still look great.

Style or NEW, and i'm thinking of getting some Dalmar to try as well.
basically, something that doesn't heat the tendons up (so not fleece lined), with very good tendon protection for the front legs, and front of cannon bone protection for the hind legs. if they speedy-cut i use the long sabre leather hind boots.
