At the 2009 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention, British Equine Scientist Dr. David Marlin delivered 3 well-attended presentations. One of which addressed leg protection and the research done on cross-country boots. He explained about the risks event horses face, most specifically to the lower forelegs and the superficial digital flexor tendon, when substandard boots are used. Watch here.

This is an excellent talk. As an engineer, I appreciate the detail that went into designing the tests he performed on the boots. What a shame though he would not give the brands or types (even the boot material) of boots that were tested. We are now informed, but still in the dark about the best protection for our horses legs!
