Yard boots you can ride in

[caro618]

Does anyone know of boots that are tough enough to work on the yard all day, including getting in from muddy fields. Yet are neat enough to school in. I get fed up changing boots all the time and when I do splash out on an expensive pair I end up walking out into the fields in them and ruin them. I have got through 3 pairs of Toggi boots in one year as the zips go in them, zips seem to be my problem! I always waterproof boots whenever I get new ones. Any advice or experience would by very welcome

Absoltuly fantastic. Had heavy horses stamp and twist on the toe cap and theres not a dent. They have just started to let water in after 5 years of abuse!

I just re-read and saw you want riding boots.... I can fit chaps over my protective riders!

I ride in Muck Company Tyne boots - although they aren't particularly smart looking, they are fabulously comfortable, warm and totally waterproof. And, they don't have a zip! Although granted, sometimes it takes a bit of pulling and wiggling around to get them off when I've crammed them over four pairs of trousers in the winter

I paid almost £70 for them four years ago and they don't look at all worn (bar being covered in mud) and I often wear them 6 or 7 days a week for anything from an hour up to fourteen hours a day.

If I was looking for a pair of yard and riding boots I'd go for the Muck Boot Tyne, no question. I have the Muck Boot Tack (welly version) and they are FANTASTIC boots, tried the Tynes on at the weekend and they are equally comfy.

I work with horses Full Time and I have Ariat yard boots similar to these:

They are very comfy and keep my feet warm and dry as they are waterproof. They are also suitable for riding in so when I'm exercising the horses at work I don't have to worry about changing into my riding boots. I would highly recommend them.

Well, I am going to get some Ariat mudbusters this weekend hopefully if the shop have them in. Think they would be suitable for muddy fields, but are also for riding so should be good enough. I refuse to buy another pair of hunters

How about the Mountain Horse Active Winter Riders they appear more like a riding boot but aren't leather.

Thank you, that is the sort of answer I am looking for. I have never heard of these boots but will certainly look into them. I have my own livery yard and wear these boots from 7 a.m to 7 p.m. they have to be tough!

 

[caro618]

Thank you, that too is certainly something I will look into.

Thanks, I have tried Ariat and find the instep is a bit high for me. I must have odd feet!

There's a link to the Muck Company Tyne boots, if thats any help?

Don't be put off by their general fugliness, they are worth their weight in gold!

Another vote for Tyne Muckboots. I've got the riding ones and that's were the 'Tyne' comes from I think as there are welly ones too... Yum yum yum!

I also wear them for dog walking, farm work etc at uni for volunteering days,. They're toasty!
