The Broom’s first impressions

We like the design of the straps and the boots were very thick and solid.

Overview of performance

These boots offer great protection in all the key areas, but are very thick and made my horses legs sweat on not a particularly hot day. Apart from that they were hard to fault and the straps worked really well.

The Broom’s likes and dislikes

While I liked how protective these boots were, but I disliked how hot the horses’ legs got while wearing them.
