...Loveson are a brand that make riding boots and it is possible to buy long or short boots made by Loveson depending on the choice of the individual. The boots that I am reviewing today are long rubber boots. They were the first pair that I bought when I first got my horse. The boots that I bought were Loveson Grantham and they are leather look PVC. They had a red lining and removable inner sole. I thought they appeared good quality compared with a lot of the other long rubber riding boots. They were around £35 at the time which made them a bit more expensive than other rubber but the quality was much better. The boots come in normal width or wide as well as half sizes. When I first tried the boots on I was very impressed with the lining. It was a burgundy red colour, slightly padded with a removable inner sole making them... Read review

...introduce Old Macs gradually, starting with thirty minutes riding and building up from there, so the next time I put on all four boots and took Rosie into the schooling area for a short ride. The first thing I noticed was that she felt bigger, not just from the extra inch gained by wearing the boots in the first place, but also from the fact that she was picking her feet up more. This gave her stride the feel of an altogether bigger animal. We walked and trotted round to see if the boots slipped at all and then called it a day. There was no sign of slipping or rubbing when I took them off. Today I have had my first proper ride out with Rosie wearing her Old Macs, for about thirty minutes.
