Snuggy Hoods Travel/Stable Boots Review

Some of you may remember all the way back to when I purchased Scottieโ€™s Snuggy Hoods Jams with matching Stable/Travel boots. I reviewed this set, mainly focusing on the rug and hood and how easy it was to use as after all, the boots were really just a matching accessory for me. However, since then I have used these boots a lot more and can write a proper review of them.

These boots can be travel or stable boots. However, Snuggy Hoods recommending going down a size if you intend to use them as stable boots, so you canโ€™t really use them as both. Scottie has them as stable boots and even if I had bought the bigger size Iโ€™m not sure how happy I would feel traveling in them without bandaging over the top as my Rambo travel boots are much sturdier and in my opinion, offer a lot more protection than these boots alone.

However, I use them frequently as stable boots. Scottieโ€™s back legs in particular do start to swell if he is spending a lot of time in the stable. These boots are really more like wraps, meaning they offer good support and are very easy to apply. I find they really help prevent swelling, or at the very least reduce it.

Over the winter months I also use them if I wash the mud off his legs when he comes in. As soon as Iโ€™ve finished I put these boots on to help dry his legs and keep them warm, which is a key factor in preventing mud fever.

With Scottieโ€™s most recent injury, I need to bandage his back legs over night to help reduce the swelling and while I donโ€™t think these boots are sufficient to do this alone, they are a great alternative to Gamgee. My Gamgee is still fairly new and just doesnโ€™t stay in shape while Iโ€™m trying to bandage around it and is really the bane of my life. After watching someone else bandage over the top of these boots I have decided this is a fantastic idea and I will be using it in the future!

I highly recommend these stable/travel boots. They are reasonably priced, easy to use and have so many different uses. Plus, with 10 different patterns, you can have a lot of fun get matching accessories for you, your horse and even your dog!
