Why has Robert Smith???

[k9h]

Why has Robert got sheepskin sleeves on his running martingale attachments??
What is the reasoning to this? Pic on page 88 of H&H.


Also Phillip Dutton on pg76 has one boot crossed & not the other??

sometimes if a horse constantly goes round with its head up the martingale will rub on its neck. Those are to help stop the bald patches that form.
