I bought a pair of these for my TB (size medium) when I first got him. I used them for gaming, cows, and everyday riding. They made his legs too hot! even when riding for less than an hour his legs would be drenched in sweat under the boots and sweat would drip down from under the boots. The fetlock strap also wasn't wide enough so the the other part of the boot would pop out from under the fetlock strap while running, I was constantly fixing them. The quality of the materials and stitching seemed good. I sold these and bought a pair of Legacy's which are great!

I have only used these a few times, but in several different scenarios. One was a speed show, barrels, poles, cones, etc. Another was trails in a wide variety of ground cover/obstacles.
These boots stayed on really well, fast, slow, jumping low logs, etc. We have lots of sand, loose rock, clay, etc, and after a couple of long days, the dirt/sand that crept up into the boot was amazingly small.
Dirt we were running in was very deep ( nice stuff for barrels n poles ). Another arena was kind of a sandy/dirt/ tiny gravel mix, not my fave, but its what was there. Again, very little dirt or grit got in.
My horse is about 15.3 hands, a big girl, but only avg size hoofs. first time I bought large, definitely too big, sent them back WITHOUT a hitch, got the Mediums, they fit fantastic.
These are not as protective as a genuine barrel boot, or boot/bell combo, but my horse is more apt to clip the inside of her leg, than over-reach, so for my uses, these seem to be a really nice, easy to put on, STAYS where you put them boot.
The velcro with 4 attachment points, is secure, and you can adjust how tight you want what pressure where.
I dont get to ride on consistent basis, so it will be a while before I update on how these are holding up to wear and tear.
Initial reports though is 5 stars across the board. The red boot looks great on my Tobiano brown n white paint mare.
Got these on sale here at horse.com. I would get another pair, even with so little use, they do seem like they will easily last for my uses and get my moneys worth.

I love these boots. Use them whenever i am riding. they haave kepy my mare and gelding safe from tons of injuries that they could have gotten without the boots. Loved them even more once my vet told my friends that she could ride her horse (who was recovering from an old tendon injury)sooner than origianlly anticpated. I always have a pair for my horses plus a spare. A MUST HAVE for any horse owner

I love these! I ordered the blue pair for my 24 year old mare, and they save her from all possible injuries when I am barrel racing and polo bending! At first it was hard to tight them enough and they keep slipping, once they got worn in a little they were easier to tighten. Would by another pair in a heart beat!

I love these so much, they're easy to put on and take off, toss them in the washer and the outside looks like new, but getting the inside like new takes a bit more scrubbing. Only problem I have had with them is once I was on trail. The stream crossing washed out and a ton of sand was there(not that I knew that at first). from a riders point of view it looked pretty safe, not too deep of sand, and embankment up was only a foot maximum. well when my horse and I got in it the sand/mud was at least a foot deep, plus he had to get up the embankment. He would have made it up if his back legs hadn't of gotten stuck in the sand from the SMB's. He ended up with his knees on the sandy embankment, and his back legs working their way out. Without the boots on he probably would have not gotten stuck. Once free and up, I checked his legs, front boots hardly budged, back boots slid down, but both were still on(also he has no shoes so all good there too). we took a different way home. These boots also collect burrs which can be annoying. Still I highly recommend them to all.

I've been using a pair of these for a little over a year on my elderly horse who bowed a tendon. They have been great for giving him some extra support on trail rides and for arena work. But, they haven't held up very well. The stitching that holds the straps on is coming out, and the lining is separating from the outer layer. I only use them once or twice a week and expected longer wear than this. I'm ordering another pair and hope they last better.

Kelly from Commerce, MI
I got the royal blue color for my big grey thoroughbred and he looked great in them! only problem was i couldnt use them for cross country as they absorbed water and retained it too much and really slowed him down, so i wouldn't recommend them to someone who did eventing or went in the river on trail rides. other than that they have great support. if they're not tight enough they slip a little but that's not too bad. only other problem i had is it lets in a bit of sand from the arena but it didnt affect my horse. the stitching on the velcro eventually came undone a bit, so im ordering some more, but overall i love the sports medicine boots!!

Guess Who?! from Lexington, Kentucky
These are great for protection, I ride an accident prone thoroughbred who was probably saved by these boots multiple times on cross country. I cant count how many time we have hit the hard jumps! But I am a very little girl and I can not get the tight enough. When we work they loosen because of the material and slip down. They can still protect then but there is no support. My fronts stay up much better, maybe because of my bellboots. But they are entirely too hard to make tight enough to stay up.

Best thing I've ever bought for my horse! Love them, love the color, love everything... including the price! They may not be the newest thing that Professional's Choice has to offer but they are still good quality boots. You are NOT wasting your money on these.

My mare kicks all other boots and wraps off but she doesn't even try with these. She also stands quietly for me to put them on and they prevent tons of damage on the rough trails we ride! Love them to death, will never buy any other brand ever again!!

I bought these boots about 7 years ago when i first began training my mare. In the beginning they where difficult to put on, but once they mold to the leg they are as easy as pie. I ride about 5 times a week and always use the boots and they still aren't worn out. I hightly recommend these.

I love these boots. I purchased these boots around 7 years ago. To this very day they are still keeping my 13 year old geldings legs protected. I'll admit they are starting to wear out, but its to be expected after such a long period of time. We compete in barrel races and gaming shows and i know tons of people who are as impressed with this boot as i am ( : just an overall awesome boot (:

i have a standardbreed-pacer, and i use them on him. Ive had my boots for goin on 4 years now, and just recently the velcro came off of the lower strap on one leg and i was afraid that it may come off when i was riding, so i bought a pair of small, plastic ones to ride him with. I was practicing one night and he had been triping some with me while riding, and wheni got off of him i realized that the boots didnt have very good coverage of his legs and coming out of a turn he had clipped himself with his back foot. i switched back to my SMB's and i automatically saw a difference!! i love them(:

I bought a pair of these boots as my colt started his training under saddle. The footing in my arena is sand and I didn't want him to pull a tendon. These boots not only fit well, they flex with ease. They are a little difficult to put on when new as the 3 velcro straps want to stick to EVERYTHING. However I would and have, bought several more pair for my other horses. Highly recommended!

These boots are a little hard to get just right on the horse, however they are great. I bought the large for my Percheron and they fit great however they did tear when we were making a tight turn in the show ring her hoof scraped on the back sets and ripped a chunck out of them without any effort but I still use them and have since I bought them and her.

I love these boots! I put them on my barrel horses and they dont turn or shift with hard running! Very easy to put on compared to Classic Equine sport boots and they keep dirt out better too! I love how they fit back and front legs so you can switch up your colors for fun :) They clean up very well in the wash and after a few uses they shape to your horses legs! They dont loose their shape in the wash either! They hold up forever and the velcros dont wear out easily!

My new horse came with a pair of these boots that worked great but were very worn. I decided to spoil him a new set for the front and back. The new ones lasted less than 2 months. The velcro shredded apart! The neoprene looks like new but the velcro fell apart in a matter of weeks. I am so dissapointed in the quality.

I bought these boots for my horse because he had problems with his legs. He never wanted to do much cantering let alone running. Once I started to ride him in these boots everthing changed...he now is begging to run and canter when I ride him and it takes the force of off his legs. I would recomend these boots. I have used them for over a year just about everyday and they are still just like new!

I bought a pair of these boots for my horse, they are kind of difficult to put on with the 3 velcros. but overall they get the job done, not a money waster, just be sure to put them on correctly, for i have witnessed a bowed tendon with incorret use of these boots.
