Which Brushing Boots?

[deicinmerlyn]

Recommendations for brushing Boots that won't rub a thin skinned TB (He needs them for turn out, so on all day)

Thanks

I like the N.E.W ones, I have the lite ones and have never had any problems, even when other boots have rubbed. Also they are really light weight and I find that the horse doesn't get hot under them either.

the woof wear club boots are pretty good! Lightweight, flexible and hard wearing (cheap too!)

I guess other suggestions might be purpose made turnout boots - I know prem equine and equilibrium do them.

I guess you need to weigh up the pros and cons of turning out in boots full time. I personally dont as I dont believe the constant heat generated by them is good for legs (which happens with ANY boot you use even so called 'air cooling ones') and coupled with thin sensitive skin you do sometimes have to weigh up if they are really worth it?

Thanks, I already use WW boots and they aren't bad but still cause small rubs.

Don't worry I have weighed up the pros and cons and well aware of the points you've mentioned. I wont risk turning out without! He is out during the day, in at night.

Try the Premier Equine Kevlar boots with air vents. They are VERY lightweight, keep the legs considerably cooler than other boots that I use and don't soak up water. I would definitely buy them again
