| Do they run true to size that it says on the description? My mare is 15.3, long cannon bones so I am looking at a large? |

I have a 16+ hand mare thats all legs and she's a medium. My massive boned foundation gelding thats 15.2 and needs an XL Classic Equine Legacy boot also is a medium. I've never needed large |

| Does anyone have a pond and use shoo fly boots? How do the boots hold up? I can see them getting wet and sagging if they get wet when the horses drink or get in the water to cool off?? I really want to try them but am hesitant for this reason. |

Good question. I have a pond too that she loves to get in. I read in the description that the Shoo Fly have sewn in stays. |

They do not sag when wet at all, or at least mine don't. I just moved my horses from a barn where they were in knee deep mucky mud almost all the time and they survived that with no issue. You might just want to peridically check to make sure the velcro is still attached in the proper places |

| I just bought some of them a couple weeks ago and put fronts on Hubby's rope horse that the fly's draw blood on and on my mare that has a fractured front knee, I don't want her stomping. This morning both had fly's above them but they weren't stomping. A little fly spray solved that problem! |

| For Shoofly's, would a 15.1-15.2hh horses be medium? Medium-large boned, not super thick but not pencil thin.

I just bought another pair for my daughter's horse on Amazon. Best price I could find .. I have prime so free shipping is always appealing to me and fast delivery |

I dropped my prime. I was still getting free shipping but it was not fast anymore, no more 2 day shipping and my other benefits were reduced. I rarely order anything under $25 so I still get free shipping that gets here the same time from Amazon. |

I got mine in this morning and went by what JLazyT said and ordered medium. They fit my horse perfect. A large would have been way too long on her and she has long cannon bones about average in diameter.
