WHERE TO BUY SHEEPSKIN

[Frazer]

I have brought some over reach boots for my tb mare, they are the medium, they have to be this because she has small hooves and any bigger would of been unconfotble, unfornunatly these rub the bottom of her legs and they cut. So I am looking for a little bit of sheepskin to put over the top of them. I use sheepskin a lot, girth, poll, noseband, boots,numnahs, headcollor etc... but cannot seem to buy it on its own. ANY IDEAS? THANKS! DO YOU USE SHEEPSKIN FOR YOUR HORSE?

I went to our local market where they had sheepskin gloves etc and asked them for scraps. sometimes you get some quite big pieces and even if they're not big enough I'm sure you can order a big bit from people who work with it.
OR you could buy an old sheepskin jacket (also at market) and cut it up

You could just buy those Eskadron ones which already have sheepskin stuff round the rim?

Have a look at Mattes sheepskin stuff, it's fantastic! Don't think you can buy direct, but they list stockists.
