I noticed a pony I'm schooling is occasionally catching her off side fetlock with her near side hoof. She hasn't broken the skin but obviously it's a concern. I've never used any type of boots before on a horse but I'm looking at getting her some fetlock boots. Can anyone recommend a brand? I'm finding the choice a bit overwhelming! Something I can throw in the washing machine when they get filthy would be a bonus.

Front or hind legs?

Oops, sorry I meant her hind legs

Anything eskadron, best fit out of all of them really, and won't quite break the bank either!

Have to agree, they last forever too

Just a quick update to say I got a pair of Eskadron boots for the mare. I don't think she's ever worn boots before because her reaction to wearing them was quite funny but they fit perfectly and already have a few small muddy marks on them, so I'm delighted the boots are taking the damage rather than her legs. Thanks everyone!
