Which boots for competing?

[Binkybex]

Hi

I am thinking of getting a new set of boots for the horse, to use for BE, riding club, hunting and unaffiliated comps. I have a set of WW brushing boots all round at the moment and the only problem I have is that as they are used all the time (Hacking, Schooling etc) they have gotten a bit scruffy.

I like the look of the WW Ultra boot and also the Sabre event boot (Yikes expensive!) But was wondering what other people put on their horses and why?

sabres are great but very long boots,l would def recommend prolite,they have tendon protection(fronts) and cannon protection(hinds) really comfortable,superb coverage and they wash easy in the machine

personally i like wrap around boots in front and brushing behind - thats what my mare wears and its always worked very well.

Shires do very reasonably priced wraps and brushing boots - although if you want heavy duty comp boots you cant go wrong with premier equines boots - they are fab.

Agreee with prolies, but if you have a bit of a budget, ahve to say am very impressed with the Premier Equine range.

ooh the prolite and the premier equine ones look fab! I think I am going off the sabre boots as they are so expensive and only come in one size. Thanks for giving me some ideas.
