I'm having some dificulty getting some kind of specific tendon boots so have turned to online shopping, but am not sure what size to buy. I'm looking for some grey ones for C's sharer to match her SJ colours (grey/pink) but most boots seem to only come in full, and I'm not sure if they'll be to be for him (15.1hh Connie?) How much of the leg between fetlock and knee should it cover?
there just aren't enough grey tendon boots around!! Seen some lush eskadron grey ones but far too expensive!!! Anyone got or know of any?

Yes i have some, they are made by Norton and i got them from Bellingdon End, might be worth giving them a call, it was ages ago that i got mine.
I don't know if Masta do grey ones but TC Feeds do Masta and another brand but not sure what colours.
I've only bought pony ones before, Masta are generous, Norton are snug, Roma are generous.
I would think that full size would be too long, ideally you want them to cover from base of fetlock halfway to knee, if flexible then can go right up to just below back of knee.

Ha ha!! I worked at Bellingdon End for 2 years!!! IK might have seen you two at some point! Norton are good for the colours knowone else does but I do LOVE the Eskadron ones! Only other ones I can think of are Equilibrium....They might do Grey?
As for length...It depends on make and material...The harder ones (like Eskadron ones) shouldnt be too long as it will effect the leg movement.

I love the Eskadron ones too, if only I had the money! Do either of you know how the Norton boots fit cos I can only find pony or full sizes on the internet? And can only find a european online stockist too!!

oooh oooh bargain alert! In my internet search for my friend's present I've found myself something lol - www.premierequine.co.uk/acatalog/Tendon___Fetlock_Boots.html£10 for the tendon boots, I've always wanted these ones ;D Hopefully the full would fit? only issue is there are no mediums for the matching fetlock boot.... |
