Horse Boots help?

OK now I really can't decide. I've been thinking of getting horse boots but I'm really not sure if I need them for my horse, what they really do (well I know they protect and support but...) and which one's should I get?


I don't really compete. I just have fun around the stables with my friends. We play games, jump, trail rides with a bit of XC and do a little bit of dressage and pony club.


I can only buy one type, I'm looking at these ones,

They're Roma, mainly the ones on page 2 and 3, splint, open, competitors, jump, and I have no idea which ones to buy.





Basically which ones should I buy for allrounder stuff?

Horse Boots help?
Hey fellow Aussie...


The roma boots are cheap and effective... if you horse is prone to clipping his joints of tendons then you need to go with a high support one... like the jump boots

But if your horse hasnt clipped him self yet and you just want to have some peice of mind while doing sporting etc. then i would highly recommend a good splint boot like this

i have alot of different boots and i would say i use my splint boots most as they are easy to use, comfy for the horses to wear, and light... they also offer a good support and protection.





One final thought, if you horse isnt shod you dont need to protect his legs as much as if he were shod, as its the shoes that are heavy and do most of the damage...


good luck and have fun :)
Reply:I would recommend them if you jumping and even on trails, just check them often. You should find reviews for the brands.


First also ways make sure you don't put on to big or too tight boots. Don't use shipping boots 'cause they can fall off. Professionals Choice is great.


I hope if you jump often or even over 10 in. that you have a trainer (that shows/ed in what they're training) and English saddle %26amp; tall boots! :D
Reply:I don't know why you think that you need any boots at all. If your horse is not having a specific problem and you do not know what the boots do...what is the point. You say that you do not compete, and that you just have fun around the barn and trail ride. Nothing wrong with that...I do the same thing and have never used boots on my horses for anything...hauling, trail, etc etc...no boots. I have not lost a horse because of it yet. Save your money, doubtfull if you really need them
Reply:These boots will protect against bumps and bruises but they don't offer any support. I would get the Professional's Choice Sports Medicine boots instead. But that's just me. I believe they offer more protection, including support.
