I bought these boots about three years ago after reading about them in one of the horse magazines. Westropp has been going for years so they are a reputable company. My horse is a 16.2hh TB x so I went along to my saddlers and bought a pair in the Large size. Fitting them was easy and the clip buckles are easy to use. What first attracted me to them was that they were made of neoprene bound with PVC padding which I thought was good for the horse as some of the leather knee boots can be quite hard and stiff. I hack out quite alot and these were a must have buy. For the first time I ensured the boots were properly fastened and in the right place which wasnt a problem. However half way into the ride I discovered that one of the knee boots had fallen down, luckily we had stopped and another rider had alerted me. I put the boot back up but yet again 10 minutes later it fell down, I decided to take both of them off and he could go without. On my next ride I put the boots on again and a bit tighter just incase as the nylon straps might stretch abit with the movement of the horses legs. But yet again the one fell down. I basically I havent used them again as I am so worried my horse might trip and fall over one of the straps. A bonus is they come in 3 sizes pony, cob and full and only in black and they are machine washable. However I wouldnt buy them again as I would never use them on any of my horses. But as they have been selling the boots for years I think they should be tried and tested and they are not that expensive.
