You have to go a size larger on your bells with these boots |

Location: Oklahoma | I have the orthos and you certainly have to go up a size on the bells... and usually in the orthos as well. My horse was a M in Classic Equine, but he's a L in Inconclast |

Location: N Texas | I recently bought the front and hind boots. I THOUGHT I got the tall hind, but accidentally picked up the regulars :( That's ok, I still really like them. The ortho boots are meant for riding and competition, the rehab boots ARE NOT.
Before buying them, make sure to measure your horse's fetlocks! My horse is 10.5 inches on the front and 11.5 on the back. He is exactly in between sizes, so I opted for the larger size. I got large for front and extra large for the back, and they're a perfect fit. If your horse is between sizes, I recommend going with the larger size.
Here's a pic just because :)

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I have the rehab and called the company on them. I was wantint to use them for exra support at night but they are too hot for that. They are meant for exercise and riding to help support previous injuries or horses that are getting sore in the ligament area. So they are to be ridden in. It seems most barrel horses deal with these issues so I will use these same boots on my other horses too. I only put them on when I warm up, back off until I run and then off again as soon as I leave the arena. |

Put your bells on first, then you should be fine. |

When I inquired about them, they told me that the rehab boots are to be used when the horse isn't being ridden, or when taken out for hand-walking. They recommended that I use the ortho boots for riding/exercising/competition. Even their website says to not use them in competition, so if a rep told you to use the rehab boots during a run, they either need to change their website, or better educate their reps

well that is an interesting tidbit :/
I did order a regular pair and have looked both up and down in the photos and haven't seen what is different? Both have the double strap to support the suspensaries. Any idea on the difference in the 2? After having my rehab ones on, I could get bells on so not sure what the difference is, other than $10 price. |

The rehab boots have an orthopedic wedge that fits under the fetlock to provide additional support. They didn't say what the specific reason is that they don't recommend them for riding. Maybe it's because they aren't compatible with overreach boots because they fit so low on the pastern? If you're able to use overreach boots with them, maybe it's not a big deal to use them, I'm just going off what I was told.  |

That could be. Good to know either way. I have only used them for hand walking so far and plan to use them when I haul him to the farrier next week. So they aren't a total loss. |

| I use the tall hinds and love them! Fit my horse great. Only thing I would suggest is if you have a shorter horse, you're going to want the regulars, not talls. My guy is 15.2 and he has just enough room to be able to fit the talls. And like everyone else said, order a size up! |

Location: So. Cali. | I bought a brand new pair of the extra tall hinds for my mare and got to use them one time before I had to pull her shoes. I thought they were pretty good quality boots and appeared to be made to do their job, from my little experience with them.

If you're able to use overreach boots with them, maybe it's not a big deal to use them, I'm just going off what I was told.
I got really curious and emailed them about the rehab boots. Here is their response:
"Our "Rehabilitation" boots are recommended for use on horses currently in recovery from injury. We do not recommend they be used for horses that are being used in performance because of the design of the boots and the support wedge built into the base of the boots.
If you were to use the Rehab boots in performance, the wedge device will rotate 30 degrees to the inside of the fetlock. This loss of wedge position is not harmful to the horse but does negate the support pressure provided by the wedge. Our best advise is that if the horse is well enough to ride and perform then the best application is our "Ortho" boots. These boots are made to use everyday with no chance of position loss. The double sling strap design will provide proper support to the sesamodial region, keeping the horse safe from over extension."
So there you go. |

Location: Bluffdale UT | From their website - Western Legacy Sales:
MEASUREMENT & SIZING CHART The sizing chart below is appropriate for all Iconoclast® Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Boots.
We recommend using a soft tape measure. If you do not have a soft tape measure you can use something like string, wrap it around the fetlock, mark where the end meets the rest of the string and then simply lay it flat next to a tape measure, ruler or yard stick to get your measurement.
Be sure to measure both the FRONT & BACK fetlocks as they are often different sizes. Customers regularly order boots in one size for the front legs and a different size for the hind legs. Small: 8.5 - 9.5 in. / 21.59 - 24.13 centimeters
Medium: 9.5 - 10.5 in. / 24.13 - 26.67 centimeters
Large: 10.5 - 11.5 in. / 26.67 - 29.21 centimeters
XL: 11.5 - 12.5 in. / 29.21 - 31.75 centimeters
XXL: 12.5 - 13.5 in. / 31.75 - 34.29 centimeters Lots more great information about application, etc on their website.
