“These boots were an excellent fit and true to size. They were quick and simple to put on with three fastenings, and moulded nicely around my horse’s legs. I liked that the lining is a breathable neoprene, as even when he’d worked hard, there was no sweat under the boots. They have been in the washing machine plenty of times and dry quickly. Although they’re more expensive than some others on the market, I felt that the quality and detail made them good value for money.”

“I really liked these boots. They are true to size, fitted really well and never slipped or twisted. The material is lightweight, soft and flexible, and even though my horse is usually prone to rubs, these never caused any problems. They were quick to dry, even after a really long hack through mud and water. The reflective material is very effective and looks smart. The strike pad was tough enough to protect his legs well when I was out hacking, but I’d probably want something with thicker protection for jumping.”

“I had these boots in cob size and they were a perfect fit for my 14.1hh pony. They were easy to take on and off, and the double locking fastenings kept them from slipping. They didn’t rub his legs, even when they were wet and muddy. I mainly used them for hacking, schooling and some jumping, as they have a thick strike pad. They washed well and the colour hasn’t faded at all, but they took quite a long time to dry.”

“The boots were easy to fit. I had cob size on test and they fitted my 15hh horse’s front legs, but the straps were only just long enough, so for a horse with heavier legs they might be a bit snug. The elastic on the straps was a bit stiff at first, but soon softened after a couple of uses and helped mould the boots to her legs. They didn’t rub, slip or twist, even when riding through deep water, but they didn’t dry very quickly. After lots of use and many washes they still look good, and have survived being thrown around by my young horse when I wasn’t looking!”
