Boots Front
Boots - Open Front or closed front?
I'm thinking about getting boots for my Morgan mare (for her front legs). I'm just unsure of whether to get open front or closed front boots...I'm not really sure of the differences between them. Obviously the front is open or closed! But I mean, I don't know the differences in the purpose they serve...is one better for jumping / trails or what?
I just ride my horse for pleasure...trails, small jumps, just random riding around. No showing or anything competitive. So what would you recommend I get for her?
Any recommendations are welcome...doesn't have to be just about boots. For example, I kind of want to get a Running Martingale...but do I really need to bother? Like my horse is really good...I don't even own a crop for her!
Thanks!
I do jumpers; so I have open-front boots. Though I also have closed-front, or more commonly known as Splint Boots or Galloping Boots. Lol. Since you mainly do pleasure and only small jumps I would recommend getting splint boots.
Here's the link to the ones that I own. They're really cheap and have so far lasted me 2 years without showing any wear!

Also I'd recommend getting two pairs- as these boots are great for horses' front & hind legs!
As the the running martingale, unless your horse throws his head up so much that he is avoiding contact with the bit [[ to the point where he is hard to handle ]] a running martingale isn't a necessity. They're usually just used by jumpers.
Hope this helps. :]
