Tester’s comments

“I used these boots on Trooper, both at home and at competitions and found them really versatile,” says Emma.

“They are easy to put on and the Velcro holds the boots firmly in place. I really like the fit, especially as they come right down, around the fetlock.

“Trooper can go a little close behind especially during fast work so these boots offered good protection.

“They don’t slip or rub, even after a cross country schooling sessions which include water. Machine washable, they wash well and dry quickly. Despite regular use the Velcro is still grippy and only needs a quick brush to remove any hay.”

“At around £24 a pair they are excellent value and I would definitely buy another pair.”
