Bandages banned on the competition grounds in the Netherlands from 1 April

A win for Big Boot?

The temp thing makes sense, but if that’s what they are trying to address, they better outlaw neoprene materials. Those things get super hot!

Although, given the trend towards consolidation and conglomeration in the horse industry as in other economic sectors, probably there is “Big Boot” to a degree.

Actually… In the only study that I’ve seen to date (one of the TN universities) that evaluated the horse’s skin temperature under different materials during work… Neoprene faired no worse than the various “airflow” or cool boots they tested. Both faired much better than polos.

That was unexpected to say the least!
