On the fifth day of Christmas . . .

Choosing the right footwear is vital if you are to remain comfortable in the saddle and around the yard this winter, so boots are one present which are likely to be well received — as long as you remember to get the right size, of course.

With HHO’s five strong selection you should never be without the right shoe at the right time.

Now firmly established as a style classic, the Original Hunter wellington boot was originally designed for walking in Scotland’s rugged terrain during the region’s unpredictable weather. Since then, Hunter’s reputation for performance, durability and outstanding comfort has become legendary and the boots are a “must have” for every equestrian and country enthusiast during a wet winter. Cost at around £50. Contact Hunter (tel: 01387 269591).
