What kind of boots/wraps are these and where can I buy them?

The boots/wraps I'm asking about can be seen on the cover of the May 2008 equus magazine.

I don't know if they are like a sports medicine boot, or if it's a wrap with electrical tape at the top to secure it. I've only seen them on race/steeple chase horses. I've seen them in lots or different colors also. If anyone can tell me what they are, what benefits come from them, and where I can buy some, that would be great!


Thanks!

That's vetwrap with tape at the top. It's commonly used on racehorses, but I've never seen it used on any other horses. Maybe it has something to do with the cost. Vetwrap usually runs at $1.00-$1.50 per roll, verses getting reuseable polo wraps for $15.00 for a set of four. The advantages of vetwrap would be: (1) will no come undone under any circumstance (2) doesn't hold water/ change support when wet (3) no danger of slipping if applied correctly (4) rundown patches are easily adhered under the fetlock


Disadvantages would be: (1) Cost (2) has to be cut off after use (3) easy to get it too tight and damage the leg
Reply:They could be splint boots or sport boots. You can get all those types of things from www.sstack.com or even check www.statelinetack.com





Boots can serve mulitple purposes. If you do a lot of jumping, barrel racing, reining, stuff like that....the boots help support the horse's tendons, ligaments, bone structure, etc in the lower leg. Some people wrap with just standard wraps/track bandages, or polos for support. If you have a horse that reaches far with their feet and clips its own legs, wraps can protect from that also.





Good luck!
Reply:i think they are usually only for racing, but i do hunters and i think ive seen some around the barn.


they probably do what most wraps and boots do, which is protect the horses legs and fetlocks.
Reply:Check with Greenhawk, they have lots of racing boots and if they dont have those EXACT ones they will have something similar!
Reply:I believe those are wraps. You can find all kinds of wraps and boots at Chicks Discount Saddlery. Here's a link.
