You should also be able to fit two fingers between the boot and the pastern to ensure it isn't too tight.Q: Are these boots durable enough for daily turnout in the pasture?A: Absolutely. Crafted from flexible yet tough 6mm rubber, these boots are specifically designed to resist wear and tear in the paddock, effectively preventing "overreaching" where a horse might step on its own front heels and pull off a shoe.Item Number/SKU: 134VBLKPONY
