White Schooling boots

[Flibble]

When I tried Drifter he was wearing white boots and I must say they looked very sexy on him so now the child in me knows they would get filthy but what is the opinion on white boots and keeping them clean I dont see why I shouldnt ponce around on New_Horse_Too_Big with flashy schooling boots.
I have to get some as my old boots are disintegrating and to be honest the back ones dont really fit.

I have decent Comp Boots but dont want to school in these.

This question is because he is so nice I dont see why I should grow up !!

Treat yourself......you know you want to!

Sod the washing, I think they look smart!

My horses have white schooling boots for everyday and I've not found them any trouble to keep clean!, I just chuck them in the machine- I suppose it depends on your school surface.

If you want white schooling boots go for it is what I say!

I have a pair of the equilibrium stretch and flex on my 16.2and to be honest the other one that is 17.2 just has the woof club boots cheap ones as they are only ones that fit him properly and are really hardwearing.

good luck, (and he looks a nice kind chap if he's the bay in the photo!)

 

[Flibble]

Nope the Bay in the photo is my retired Bloke Gulliver who was the sexiest horse I ever met and unfortunatly Drifter appears to be even sexier. I am just struggling to update my sig!!
It Tiggy ,Shady Lady, Gulliver and me my Avatar is one of my paintings of Lake Street Jordan as a foal.

Agree on the woof wear white club boots - really hard wearing and I have found not quite so prone to staining on the outside - and still look just as poncey!!! Do it - go an buy them immediately!!

 

[Flibble]

OK I am allowed as its my Burfday on Tuesday and I will only be 54 so I think I will allow myself.

Ooo K27 do you chuck your stretech and flex boots in the washing machine??

I'm desperate to do that with mine but worried about runing the material, are they ok afterwards?? Fed up of washing mine in the bathtub!

 

[RuthP]

Oh and yes definately get some white boots, they look lovely and you definately derserve them seeing as its your bday and you have a lovely horsey! Sorry for the thread hijacking

Yep!!- I've always put them in the machine and they're about 3 years old, I'm too lazy to stand there handwashing them so everything goes in the machine! I always put them on a 30 degrees wash so they dont shrink and they come out looking like new! sometimes I add a scoop of Oxyclean just to keep them looking really white but I don't think it's a necessity!

 

[RuthP]

Yay thats fantastic!!! Mine have been sat in the gargage for ages because I can't be bothered to hand wash them!! Thanks!!

 

[Flibble]

So what are the advantages of the Stretch and Flex boot thingys then ??

 

[nikki_07766]

i've got white WW boots on my boy and they wash up fine.

 

[RuthP]

I've got stretch and flex training wraps which wrap around the fetlock (like sports medicine boots) but far nicer. They're made out of fabric which lets the air in to cool the legs. But in all honesty I like them but they aren't as amazing as I expected them to be, and they are pricey! Hope this works...

For everyday white boots I'd go for the Equillibrium Tri-Zone brushing boots, good quality, good fit , they wash really well and are easy to keep clean.. The training wraps are nice but offer no protection from brushing injuries if hacking or jumping etc....

happy shopping!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

I don't like my tri zone boots, they are now grey not white. But I did get them second hand and don't wash them very often. Look on equestrian clearance though if you want cheap ones of these as they have some for a bargain price in the clearance section.

The first "present" I bought my new horse was some posey white boots. I have to say they don't look so great now they're covered in sand and sh1t as they did when they first came out of the packet. I got the stretch and flex ones and they are really lightweight and don't make the legs sweat much but it says they are handwash only. I've hosepiped them and they still look filthy so they will be getting chucked in the washing machine at some point to take their chances. Will let you know if they survive if I wash them soon.

Like the souns of the S and F but had to make a few cut backs due to the saddle cost well lots of cut backs really I am going to live on toast until December and give everyone used stamps and envelopes for Xmas.

Bought the White WW Club Boots as inexpensive. First naughty Horse Present ever purchased I normally go for sensible.
