Just wondering who used boots on there horses when they rode and what brand. I use Professionals choice Elite boots. I love them! My POA's front leg would pop every time she took a step and as soon as I put the Elite boots on they quite! I tried the SMB 2 boots before that and her leg still poped every now and then. But now with the Elites they never pop.
I have a variety of boots. I mostly use Eskadrons (I have front and back sets) but I also have dressage sport boots and Pegasus boots. The first two boots I mentioned (Eskadron and DSBs) are geared towards the English disciplines, but the Pegasus boots are very versatile and very much like SMBs except I find they have more support...
Her leg pops? What do you mean by pops? I can not think of anything that I would describe as popping that boots would have anything to do with. Well, I guess unless you are saying popping a splint due to a concussion injury.

Chances are if a horses leg pops you horse has a joint problem. You should be looking at the cause, not bandaiding it with boots.
I plan on getting my guy a pair of splint boots, but I haven't decided if I want to just use them on his front or on all four. One of the women at my barn, our English trainer, is like a boot expert and says that all horses can benefit from some type of protection, whether that be a formal boot or even polo wraps. Even though I only do trail/pleasure/arena work, I don't think it will hurt him.
I always put Pro Equine bell boots on every time I ride. I use Pro Equine boots on my barrel horse and Professionals Choice Elite on my filly in training.
