WORKS GREAT!
These PREVENT sores, they donât heal them. You must clean out the sore (batydyn scrub and Nitrofurazone daily, place a 4X sterile pad on the wound then place these wraps over that.) In about a week or so, youâll have beautiful pink skin. Once the wound is healed, stop the Medications but DO NOT STOP THE WRAPS. When applied as directed, the wrap stays on. We have Arabians (very busy) and our wraps stay on. You have to change them every day making sure theyâre dry/clean etc. You must have the right size and apply them correctly. Our Arabians wear a Small to Medium and theyâre perfect. As the wear in, theyâll become a little loose so I clip my velcro (along the lines) to keep the wrap snug. Even the directions say to put 2 fingers between the wrap and the horse but if theyâre not snug enough, theyâll slide down. Weâre very happy with these wraps.

Worth the price
These hock boots have done a great job at protecting my geldings hocks and helping to heal sores that had formed before I was able to get these in him. That being said, they are best suited for stall and paddock use, not so much for turnout.

Great idea, delicate execution required
I have a warmblood/saddlebred cross and we recently re-did his stall and run (2022). He likes to lay outside and the hock sores were inevitable. We used regular coverage hock boots for a year plus and they were great. The big guy finally destroy them. Replaced with a neoprene pair that didnât hold up and really annoyed the big guy. Purchased these after he shredded the original style hock boot after we brought those back into the mix.Ordered L/XL and concur with the other reviewers who report that there the Velcro straps are too long and need to be trimmed. I also make the mistake of leaving on a few days in a row and my horseâs hair rubbed off the back of his legs. Itâs grown back in, but itâs white.There is a delicate balance between doing these hock boots up too tight or too loose. Iâve come down in the morning to find one or both around horseâs fetlock on more than one occasion. Obviously doing them too tightly causes the friction/hair loss issue. Recently put them back on after having the runs scraped and noticing that his hock sores are back with a vengeance. Hoping to find the right balance this time around.Seem to be good quality and easy to wash. A little pricey for the maintenance they require.

These boots hurt more than healed.
Where did I go wrong? This sore is worse then the one I was trying to heal. If you tell me they were too tight, I will tell you that if they werenât tight enough, I would find them around her fetlock in the morning. The boots were also very large and I had to trim the Velcro and still to big. My horse is definitely a large at 16.2-warmblood.

Very happy with these boots
These stay up very well, and stay in place better than other hock boots Iâve tried. Soft, and comfortable. Very happy.

Provides Good Protection, but Expensive.
I need these for my horse, so I keep buying them. They do a good job of protecting his hocks from “bed sores”; however they are not durable. The elastic stretches quickly and they wear out and tear too soon. I usually end up replacing them once or twice a year. They are expensive and the quality does not live up to the price. I’m looking for a better, more economical product.

Very pleased so far
SUPER happy with these so far. Bought them for my gelding, who has a chronic hock sore I just can’t seem to get on top of, and it has been doing exactly what was expected (letting the skin heal without risk of reinjury).I have been using 24/7 for about 2 weeks and it has not come off yet. I do take it off at least once per day to groom underneath and readjust. I tighten it until I can slip one finger between the front of the hock and the boot.My horse was at the smallest end of the larger size, so I sized down to the smaller one. I am glad I did, as the boots fit well, but the elastic does stretch out significantly. If I had ordered the larger boot, it may have stretched too much to be effective.

These are the best hock boots.
I have a TB that manges to rip, chew, destroy everything. When I put these on I expected to see them tossed to the side of his stall shredded like an old blanket…and so did everyone else. But the next day they were on and strapped in place and every day since. Buy these, they work. And the synthetic fleece is a nice touch to add extra cushion and protection. FYI: My pictures of the hock boots look bulky because I have a cotton layer on the inside because the sores are draining.

This was used for protecting an open wound on one of our ponies. It did an excellent job .
