Location: Muskogee, OK | Absolutely worth the money! For a set of 4 you can expect to pay about $400 brand new. They are roughly $195/pair normal pricing. |

Location: NC | I'm gonna piggy back off of this, if you don't mind, and ask what inserts ya'll use? I know they recommend the turquoise for general use. Just wanted to see if that is what everyone else uses for hauling/stalling/general use.
Thanks! I've been looking at getting a pair too. |

| Not only do I love my horses soft rides but he does too. What a life saver, you pay those entry fees only to find your horse stocked up, tender footed or just stiff moving, then you need to make a run I felt so sorry for what I was asking of him. I absolutely have no problems like that anymore, my husband actually TOLD me to buy them. NO REGRETS...... TURQUOISE INSERTS IS ALL WE USE. |

Location: Oklahoma | Not sure why my full text didn't come through.... but it said that my made has to have her coffins injected 2-3x a year, and wears wedges. Would these be good for her? |

 Am I really the Weirdo?
Posts: 11181
Location: Kansas | My two 1D horses both love theirs. When I'm about ready to get on them, I reach around and unvelcro all 4 boots, but both horses will do anything they can to avoid stepping off the boots until I actually make them move. That alone tells me they feel good.
I have turquoise inserts in all of mine, and I have used them on fronts only, but I like to have them on all the way around. It has taken me a while to afford two full sets, and Chance wears a pair out in about 18 months with all the hauling & standing we do, so I don't really have a set for Joker or Streak at this point. They have to borrow pairs from Clifford, which luckily Cliff & Streak wear the same size and those boots are just a hair big on Joker. |

| I have them and LOVE them. I just use the teal inserts that came with as my mare doesn't have problems but I wanted to support her on long trips and in stalls where there were no mats.
LOVE them and recommend them to everyone!! If you're having problems with fit - stuffing wool in the boot with a narrow footed horse will help with fit. The wool breathes well and won't create rubs. When the boot needs to be washed out, just wash the wool, dry completely and re-insert.
They are worth every penny. |
