It’s hard to imagine how many hours the Horse & Hound team has spent in the saddle over the past year. In short – it’s an awful lot. So, when we tested the best long riding boots, you can be sure they were put well and truly through their paces. What’s more, when searching for the best Black Friday equestrian deals, we found the boots we loved the most are discounted.

The Ariat Heritage Contour II Field boots are so fabulous that several members of team H&H own a pair, and some of us (cough, me) aspire to. Our senior news writer Becky Murray was the guinea pig for our boot test. She gave them a maximum score of 10/10 in her review, which earned them ‘H&H Approved’ status.
