    Default help sizing horze tendon boots?

    i'm thinking of ordering the horze tendon boots and fetlock boots, and hoping someone who has them can help me with sizing.

    my horse wears mediums in front and larges behind in most other boots, such as the dover neoprene sport boots and all sport boots. can anyone tell me what size they have in the horze boots and what size their horse wears in some sort of sport boot?

    thanks so much!

    I bought the ProTec boots in the full size for a similar sized horse & they did not work. They were too small (not deep enough) for my guy's fetlocks, rendering them useless. Nice boots, just too little.

    hmm interesting. i wonder if the shape of those is different than the cheaper tendon boots. i just can't imagine he'd be the biggest size up front, he's clearly smaller than a lot of horses.

    Alright, here's my experience with them:

    Great quality, really enjoy them.

    I have a fine, fine TB mare who has LONG cannon bones but they are narrow. I have her in Small Woof boots right now. I bought the Horze boots in Cob, and they fit! (Open front design obviously is a different fit than brushing.) They are a little short on her, but they fit her width-wise/circumference-wise perfectly. I also got her baby pink ones and she's just too cute.
    Well isn't this dandy?

    I have the horze ones you're looking at.
    My guy wears mediums in the el cheapie neoprene splint boots and the horse size (whatever is above cob) fits fine, maybe 1/4" longer than the cheapies.

    They are AWESOME, PS
