It is best for riders who want a simple, reusable cooling option in the stable, at a competition or after travelling, and it suits horses and larger ponies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike a straight bandage, the boot is cut to follow the angle of the hock, so it stays in contact with the joint instead of sliding down the leg. Adjustable fastenings mean one boot can be set to suit different horses on the yard.
