Mountain Horse is a well known name to most horse riders. They sell a variety of equestrain clothing, that is for the riders, not the horses. They even have their own little catalogue, though the clothing is available in most equestrian outlets. It is available via the internet also. They sell diferent types of boots, ...
...really taken much notice of Mountain Horse as a brand. The clothes did look nice, but a bit expensive. I had no need to buy any boots so had not really looked at them. A few years ago, at the yard where I keep my horses, there was a sudden craze for Mountain Horse boots. Several people had them. They were leather, smartish, but my opinion of them was not favourable. I thought they were expensive and whilst they were quite smart, they had a great ... more

...spoil good leather boots. Mountain Horse Sportive High Riders are a really good compromise. They are comfortable to ride in (once they have been broken in!) but are tough enough to work in and not get wrecked. They are also smart enough to compete in although I might not do higher level dressage in them as they are quite chunky. The leather is good quality and has a stretch panel facility to make sure they really fit. They have zips so are really ...
...it is really helpful that Mountain Horse have done something about it. There is an in-built steel shank for your protection which is reassuring. This boot is designed to be really durable. As mentioned, the leather is strong but there is also a really thick sole which does not look like it will ever wear out. The downside is that the boots are quite clunky in appearance but it does make them distinctive. They would look really good for cross country ...

Bootyliscious!

Advantages: Smart Leather competition boot
Disadvantages: They break in easily!

...boots for me! The Mountain Horse Sportive High Rider looked perfect, they were made of supple leather, with a panel of stretch re-inforces material to expand and hug the calf. I used to have problems in finding the width of boots to fit due to my calf muscles. When I do lots of exercise like walking and mountaineering, they grow! I needed a boot which could cope with this! I did some research, and found they were reasonably affordable and more ...
...on if I'm not riding. Mountain Horse are an excellent company, providing many other products apart from boots, with well made products which are durable and well made for the purpose. I would recommend these for training and competition, I wore then non stop for 3 months around the yard, and they feel good to wear. I have had this pair for nearly a year now, and they still look as good as new after a wash and polish. The leather hasn't worn and ...

Mountain Horse Sportive High Rider

Advantages: Comfortable & Durable
Disadvantages: None

I have been wearing Mountain Horse boots for years now including the ever popular 'Cheetah' boot. I have always ridden in a pair of long leather boots and normally the zips have either gone on them or the stitching which is quite frankly damn annoying! When I bought another horse about 2 years ago I decided to treat myself to a new pair of long leather boots but something which is a bit more durable and hardwearing. I dont know why I never thought ...
...boots are quite chunky. Anyway Mountain Horse hadnt had the Sportive High Rider out for long and I had a look and went into my local saddlers to try them to see what they were like, I was smitten. They were so comortable and fitted really well, I have slim legs and normally I get a gap at the back of the boot but not with these! Two years on and I still have the same pair I bought. Allbeit they were a bit worn but I have kept them in great condition ...

very comfortable but problem with zips

Advantages: comfortable and good to ride in
Disadvantages: zip broke so not very durable

I have a pair of these boot and there are many positives about them but one big negative. Positives 1. Very comfortable from the start no rubbing at all 2. Look smart 3. Easy to put on as have zip 4. Plenty of room for wooly socky and enough room for wearing with jeans 5. Reasonable price for leather boots 6. Comfortable for riding and yard work 7. Leather doesnt stretch or become baggy round the ankle. Major negative The zip broke after ...
...riding and occasional yard work so not alot of heavy duty use. I love these boots so much I took them to the shoe menders and they said it would cost £60 to mend the zip. Luckily I have managed salvage them as fray was near the bottom of the boot and I could stitch the boot shut and still get my foot in and out without having to unstitch it and it stopped the zip riding up and the boot coming undone. No doubt this quick fix will not last for ever ...

Quick review of Mountain Horse Sportive High Rider

I think the boots are great from a comfort , warmth, breathability and ease of access position. The one problem I have come across having owned a pair for four years is that the zips broke after two years and after replacement by a local saddler broke again this year. At £50 - £70 per replacement they are becoming expensive to run. I wear them for approx 9 months of the year in the region of 5 days per week for approx 1-2 hours each time which I do not think is excessive. ...
