Boots for a horse to where when training him, what kind to buy?
The person who is training my horse suggested I buy him boots so he won't hurt himself when learning and will help support his fetlock etc. She described a boot that goes from his hoof to his knee; this boot has Velcro fasteners. What is this boot called? Can anyone suggest what to buy? Thanks.
They're called sports medicine boots as well.

You could get him brushing boots (splint boots are the same thing)
and you can get bell boots.
Those are the boots that my horse wheres while I"m riding her.
Just look the boots up on google

Dover, ProChoice and Stateline Tack (I think) should have them available online. TSC (Tractor Supply Company) will probably have them in stock. Or try your local tack shop- mine actually has the ProChoice ones on sale!!

Professional's Choice SMB 2, SMB 3, or SMB Elites are your best bet for overall protection and support—they are a bit more pricey than other brands–but they are well work it! You can buy Value Packs which include the Front and Rear boots (4) and they are cheaper that way than buying the individual ones…seeing as you will need to boot all 4 legs for balance and equal support…
They come in a very wide range of colours, from Neon Pink to Chocolate Brown and everything in between–whatever your "colour" is, they're sure to make it!
You can purchase all 3 of these at http://www.westernshop.com
I never work or ride my horses without all 4 legs booted and supported!
Good Luck!
