So having sorted out a nice new travel rug for my girl (Black with Navy blue Lavenham summer sheet) I now need to sort out boots for her and wanted some opinions on these boots,

a) Rambo Newmarket travel boots- either in the blue or the black (I like these, but I'm not sure which would look best as blue are mainly blue and I don't know if it'll be the same blue...and the black have a red stripe down the back)

b) Old-style woof wear boots-I like the smaller straps, think they'll fit better, but this is the only place I can find them so I'm slightly worried it's just an old picture

c) Mark todd in black, in some photos they look really nice, but in others they don't look like they fit well

d) I just found hese thermatex one that you can get made up in your own colours...anyone used them? (Having stuff matching is way too important to me, I know!)

And any others you can suggest that'll match her rug (rug matching is a major factor!)
BIG THANKIES!!!

Mum has a pair of the mark todd ones and they fit her 16.3hh shire x tb and my 17hh id/percheron type very well- not sure if they wouldn't be HUGE on a 'normal' sized horse though??

She's a selle francais, so pretty fine limbed, so maybe not the MT ones then as the cob'll be too short and by the sound of it the full will be too wide...
hmmmm....
 
Mark Todd are brilliant, mine are over 10 years old and have been well used and are still in great condition.
My boys are not exactly chunky and they fit really well, they have quite a lot of adjustment to allow for skinny/chunky legs
 
I have the Mark Todd ones for a 15hh anglo in cob size and found they were the best fit for his skinny legs . I found that some of the makes were too baggy in cob and too short in pony.
