Thank you! Great quality video, presenter is easy to understand, audio is excellent - which is often not the case with barn videos. Super clear and concise information. This is exactly what I needed to make an informed purchasing decision. Would love to see a video on measuring to buy boots (sizing - front and back, etc. ), braiding (maybe by discipline - what kind and how many?). Also would love time stamps on videos with multiple examples or products for quick reference. Looking forward to Top Flight’s next video.

Do you recommend boots on just front hooves? Anything needed on back hooves for trail riding?

[@TopFlightEquestrian]

Hi Kelly! Are you talking about boots that encompass the hoof to replace traditional horse shoes or boots like bell boots the go around the hoof but not underneath? If you have a barefoot horse that can be sensitive when stepping on rocks on the trail I highly recommend using boots like scoot boots, old mac, etc. to provide protection to the bottom of the hoof when on rocky trails (not covered in this video). For using boots that go around the horse hoof (bell boots) most people use them on the front to prevent pulling shoes or damage to the heel bulbs (they can provide protection for the coronet band as well if you are going through brush or stepping over logs on the trail) but you can use them on the hind feet as well. I find that it's not really necessary unless your horse travels very close behind (to find this our you can watch your horse walk away from you and if they travel close behind one or both hind feet almost hit the opposite leg or hoof when they walk, if they don't then there will be plenty of space between their hind legs when they walk). Hope this answers your question! Thanks for commenting!

@@TopFlightEquestrian thank you. I was looking at the bell boots and the SMB leg boots for protection riding on trails.

[@TopFlightEquestrian]

That should give you great protection ☺️
