- It's been 3 months since I started Tissy on her barefoot and boot journey. I'm really impressed with how her feet are looking and holding up. I haven't tested the Flex boots to their full capacity yet as Tissy is only ridden once or twice a week over winter for 5-10km.
But, for the rides we have been on I've been really happy. They both flew off once all full speed gallop up the hill, but I learnt that this was because I hadn't pushed the fetlock strap right down and because I hadn't tucked it under the neoprene, meaning the neoprene gaitor was pushing the strap open. We've been at Tissy turbo speed on all terrains many times since and not once have they budged.I've trimmed a bit of the neoprene gaitor back as there was a lot of excess at the front and this seems to allow for easier doing up.
There's not a mark on them, we've mainly been on road or grass terrain so I'll be really interested to see how they perform and more stoney tracks like in the forestry. So far they've done around 120km and look brand new. I just hose them off and hang them up to dry. They're also super lightweight, compact and easy to put on so I'm going to carry one as a 'spare tyre' when I'm competing on any of my shod horses.
I'm looking forward to doing more training and a few pleasure rides in the boots to see how they continue to perform, but so far I'm really pleased and so is my bank balance.
Thanks for watching,

I especially love videos with Tissy in them. Something about the look in her eyes and her enthusiasm makes me think of my old horse Red. Thank you for sharing these little bits of your life.
She's my favourite too 🦄😍 x
I love the kevin bacon hoof solution!
The mud looks sort of pink or peachy on camera. Tissy has thought ahead is ready for valentines day :D
Love your videos! It's a nice way to get a horse fix while I don't have any of my own and really good tips and tricks for the future when I, fingers crossed, am able to fulfill that dream again. Thank you for all your hard work! /Lina
It looks a bit pinky toned in real life too, she's so on trend 🤣 thank you, we're glad to give you some horsey time x
I use hoof boots as well, the Scoot Boots were a great fit for us. Have ridden on every surface possible in Denmark, and plenty of km’s as well, we are endurance rookies. My first pair of Scoots lasted me for 11-1200 km’s💪❤️❤️
Scoots are super popular in the UK too x
I have the same hoof boots for my horse, and she loves them! When I put them on she's ready to go on any surface. It''s as if l put her 'running shoes' on, she's so comfy in them
Hi Beth I bought some hoof boots for my horse after watching your first video when you was reviewing which boots would suit Tizzie.
My horse has bare back hooves and the hoof boots work a treat so far! 👍🏻
Really glad to hear they're working for you too 👍 x
I love that view down at the front hooves, that was cool! I made the silly mistake of ordering boots online because they were cheaper... and they weren't the right size, yet still sit in the box waiting to be returned 2 months later. I knew I should just pay the extra to get them from the local track shop! 😆 She just loves to go, it's so fun to see happy horses that love their job!
Oh dear 🙈 I'm really glad I got them fitted, makes me feel much more confident in them x
I think I’m getting a pair of these lol
Just discovered you, love it! And I love the views from different angles too! Q:where can I find the “toe guard” on the front of your stirrups? I love the safety feature of that. From Ohio USA
Hey, thank you ☺️
They come with the toe guard, they're podium stirrups. But I think you can buy ones that slot into normal stirrups x
What a super pony! Whereabouts in the country do you ride? It look great
I'm in the Midlands, between Cannock chase and the Peaks. X
Quick question - where did you get that hoof pick? I've been looking for one like that for ages x
It's an equinox hoofpick that Dan got me as a gift x
Do you notice any difference in movement or anything else with only having boots on the front feet not the back also?
Im wondering whether to get boots for my boy for just the front or front and back. Will talk to my farrier 😊 He’s all barefoot at the moment and seems to be going well even over rockier stuff which is great but for those longer distances I will have to see. Thanks for your videos they’re great 😊 hi from northern australia 🤗🐴 Im glad my boy isnt the only horse that gets frustrated with me sometimes when I dont let him go full speed 😄
The only reason I haven't got backs yet is because I was seeing how she went on fronts and making sure I liked them, I'll probably get some backs soon 👍 x
@@bethendurance Okay cool good to know 😊
Hi Beth, any new update on these boots? I have them since few weeks and the hind boots twist regardless of the terrain, I lose all 4 if I go in the mud...Any feedback is appreciated!
I’ve never hadn’t them twist or come off in the mud so I can't really help in that department. Maybe they're just the wrong fit for your horse? I hear the explora magics are a very good alternative x
Have you ever tried Renegade Vipers on any of your horses?
No sorry x
Maybe the haynets hinder the horse to eat enough ?
The haynets are to stop them wasting their hay, they don't slow down their eating. However, Tissy had access to both netted and loose haylage x
Do you notice if the neoprene rubs the bulb?
They haven't yet, and I've ridden up to 3.5hrs at a time in them x
