Stretch and flex boots

[aliw]

Has anyone tried these, before I buy them?
They are also in Robinsons.

Are those the Equilibrium ones?

I've got them if they are and love them. I don't think that they're suitable if your horse has a 'serious' brushing problem though.

They're easy to put on, easy to wash and seem to stay on quite well oh, and MUCH MUCH easier than bandages!

Good support. Wash well, wear well.

The girls both have a black set for everyday use and Peri has a white set for competitions.

I really like them too, I have a full set of black ones and like the others, agree that they're easy to wash etc.

I only use them for schooling though, don't use them for hacking or jumping.

Do you find that your horses' legs get particularly sweaty using these boots?

[Bozzy]

No I don't think Eddie has sweaty legs after (although I haven't used mine for a while due to not having schooled!)

They're made of a 'breathable' fabric allowing the skin to 'breathe' keeping the skin at a normal temperature. That's what they say anyway!!

Yes, I was planning to use them for schooling, dressage etc.
I have just bought Bella a pair off Ebay - white!
I got them for £17.50 (inc. p&p) - bargain or expensive?
And they are brand new.

BARGAIN if they're the Equilibrium ones!

I use mine (on my horse naturally ;) ) for everything, lunging, lessons, hacking ... plus she has some Equichaps for turnout. So far she hasn't been in the least bit sweaty.

Nope, not the Equilibrium ones.
Mine came yesterday - perfect condition, brand new, but I was very annoyed with myself that I hadn't realised that they were a pair, not a set!!
So I thought I was getting four boots, brand new that RRP at £32 for £17.50!
