Have any of you tried these? I normally just use fly spray only on my horse's legs, but I thought I might try these. I have never used fly boots before. Thoughts? Are they worth it? Stomping is what I'd like to stop.

They really do work. I love them! Our district gives them away as awards every year. If your horses arent too hard on them, they can last for years!

I love mine too! They not only keep the flies off they keep the dew and rain moisture off. No scratches!

I love mine - I resisted but finally bought them for my gelding with pretty sensitive feet to help reduce stress. He cant live without them now.

These have to be one of the best things I have ever bought for my horses.  They also help with my sanity... oh how the stomping drives me nuts!

They are well worth the money IMO. I get about a summer and a half out of them on horses that are turned out 24/7. My horses are much happier with them on.

I've tried multiple brands, and these are the best. However, I was disappointed how much life I got out of my first pair. My horses are turned out on pasture, and after one summer they were all falling apart and several had holes in them. My Kensington boots have held up better, but they are a pain because they slouch which kind of defeats the purpose. I would suggest making sure you take them off when it's muddy because that seems to be the beginning of the end.

They are amazing!  Instant relief for the horse and no more stomping.

Awesome. I was told they run very large, so I ordered mediums for my 16,1 gelding.

I saw people saying to order down a size on FB, so that’s what I did. One person said her 16.2 horse could poop in the size large, for example.

Love ours.

size wise I have 3 pairs of smalls and 1 pair of mediums.  The mediums work ok on our 15-15.3 hand rope horses, but the smalls work fine on them too.

I love mine! I haven't bothered to use them when my horse is out in the big pasture, because he's known to remove anything I put on him, but when he's in a pen he's never gotten them off and they significantly reduced stomping.

Thanks y'all. AJ's Horse Country on FB had a 20% off code, so I ordered a set. I don't know if my horse minds stomping, but it drives me crazy. LOL The Pyrhana fly spray is great, but it wears off quickly.
