Leg boots for a horse that knocks into itself

Hello!

🐴 I usually ride with tendon boots or brushing boots lined with neoprene on the inside and a hard outer shell.

🐎 I tend to use the same boots whether it is jumping, dressage or a hack on the schedule. Horses that brush behind usually do it whatever type of work you are doing, so it feels sensible to use boots as a preventative measure too.

🐴 In my experience, boots with a fleece lining on the inside can actually cause more chafing than neoprene. Sand and grit catch in the fleece easily, and the fleece can mat together and rub. They are simply hard to keep clean and fresh. As long as you have the right size, are careful to fit them properly, and keep the boots and the legs clean in use, I think neoprene boots are pretty much unbeatable.

🐎 There are eventing boots that sit a little higher up the legs and protect a bit more. Some western boots are longer too.

I hope that answers your question 😃🦄
