Does anyone have tips for keeping the Rambo fly boots up? They keep sliding down and bunching up. I have the Velcro fairly snug - is there something I’m missing?
Backstory:
I’ve used the Shoo Fly and similar style boots for several years with no major issues. I have a senior gelding (29) with some significant arthritis and he keeps getting manure in one hind boot, likely because he’s shifting his stance to be more comfortable. I bought the Rambo boots to see if the snugger style fixes that issue.
The good news is that part worked. The bad news is I cannot for the life of me get them to stay upright in his leg. They keep drooping down like a sock with worn out elastic
They visually seem to fit but I did re-look at the size chart and it looks like he’s right between a cob and horse size. He’s a 15.1 Paint with a stocky build and lots of bone. I bought horse size boots - would a smaller cob size work better? For reference he wears a 78” Rambo blanket & flysheet and is horse size in almost everything.
The boots are this model - https://www.horseware.com/en-us/horseware-fly-boots-set-of-2?queryID=c563b011374edb5bb2d252098106b826&objectID=8975&indexName=liveen-us_products
Any tips or alternate fly boot suggestions?
