Elites at a substantial savings. Combining the high level of protection and energy absorption with minimal effects on the gait, the?VenTech? Elite Sports Medicine Boot is a valuable tool in prevention of lower limb injuries during training and performance, as well as a valuable addition tothe treatment regime for rehabilitating horses with limb injuries. Booting all four legs allows the horse to comfortably maintain its normal distribution of weight. VenTECH?

"~I bought these because I had a $15.00 customer appreciation credit with SP. There are several things that bother me about this purchase. They were packaged so poorly from SP the original packaging fom Professional's Choice was busted on the top and bottom. This irritated me because I always store my clean, dry boots in their original, manufacturer's bags. My first purchase of a Pro Choice Elite SMB was a also a 4-pack about four years ago and I am still using those boots as they are in good condition. When I removed the new ones from their packaging I noticed immediately they were lighter and didn't feel as substantial as the originals so I weighed an old and new front boot. The old boot weighed 1.4 ounces more than the new boot. I called Professionals Choice Customer Service and had a LENGTHY conversation with a pleasant representative. She said over and over the new boots are vented to be cooler and that makes them lighter. Told her I had an old and new boot in front of me and they just didn't compare. The old boot seemed to have MUCH MORE support behind the horse's leg than the new boot does. The new boot also is much softer which makes me think it cannot provide the support the old boot does. I'm still not sure if I will keep these boots. I did a side-by-side comparison yesterday when I rode (old boot on one and new boot on the other front leg). The leg with the new boot was cooler when I removed them but again, I remain unconvinced the new, lighter weight boot provides the support I was hoping to give my young horse.
~One more thing that makes me think the new boots aren't the same quality as the old boots...after just one wearing, about 1/2 of the lettering on the inside of the new boots was worn off. The old boots still have almost 100% of the internal lettering after several years of use on multiple horses."

"I have a older Percheron that has developed Navicular. I have her on Isoxsuprine; she bounced back, but still wasn't quite herself. When I put these on her, she became her normal happy-go-lucky, bouncing around the arena mare that she always has been. She was feeling so good, that one day I accidently, forgot to give her her meds. I threw them on her and she had three 1 hour lessons with kids, plus me at the end of the day for about an hour and a half! I was so shocked when this happened! I swear my life on these boots!"

"While these boots are great, my trainer and I felt that they were not the best boot to use for dressage training -- at least with a greener horse that is still figuring out where their legs are. Probably as a lighter boot, or for a horse that needs lighter protection this set is perfect. For my gelding we wanted to see something a bit more substantial to protect his legs, especially from impacts. These fit really well, conforming to your horse's legs snugly. The strapping (and labeling) system ensures that you can't get it wrong. I had the white set, and while it looked sharp they did not stay white for long and seemed to get easily coated with dirt on the outside (not impeding their function, but aesthetically it made me want to wash them after each use, which is impractical). I recommend a darker color."

"This my second set of these boots. I ride my little horse every chance I can. We trail ride and run barrels. The boots give him the added protection in rough terrain as well in the ring around the barrels as he digs in. They appear to support his legs as he works and hopefully will keep him running for years to come. The second pair is much different than the first set. They are thinner and more closely fitted. Less dirt gets in them and he sweats less in them. I do still get dirt in them."

"I like the Elites as they are more tailored and therefore more supportive than the other Professional Choice boots. These boots are scientifically proven to support the tendons & ligaments--not just protect them from getting banged up. They are kind of a pain to put on and take off but worth the effort. Wish they lasted longer!"

"I like the boots and they fit true to size. My gelding is 16.3 hands and the large fit him well. They are easy to put on, but I can't comment on whether they are cooler than polo wraps or similar leg protection as I haven't used much else on this particular horse lately. They do fit nicer than the knock-off boots for sure.
The downside to these boots is that the hinds sometimes slip down if they aren't applied just right, this defeats the point of putting them on for protection. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the proper adjustment each time, but I do think it can be done correctly as they didn't slip the first time I used them."

"I have had Professionals choice boots as well as some of their other products for a very long time, some are over 20 years old and are still in fantastic shape and are still usable! the only pair I have that have ever ripped was with a wire incident, where the boots took one for the team and the wire couldn't get deep enough to hurt my horse. In my opinion these are the best boots on the market and I will always have them in my barn! They are easy to use, easy to wash, and dont need it that often, a dry scrub works to keep the inside clean, but as with any other boots you need to put them on properly and tight enough. I have never had a problem with them falling off or not doing their job while I am in competition or conditioning."

"These boots fit every horse, thin boned or thick boned, short or tall, they never slip and and never rub. They are a little hard to get on, but as long as you first get them on then tighten them, they stay on great and don't come off. My horses have been through bramble bushes, nicker burrs and mud and these boots have never failed me. Excellent buy, they fit much better than the SMB II a friend wanted used on her horse."

"I've had a hard time getting a properly fitting front boot for my Quarter Horse gelding. He is recovering from a check ligament sprain so I wanted a boot that offered a lot of support and would fit him properly. These boots are an excellent fit. I feel they are very supportive and easy to get on and off. They dry quickly after use and clean easily."

"These boots are fabulous. The dirt in the indoor riding area is very hard so I really needed something to support my horse's legs and tendons. They seemed to work great! My horse has never come up sore and his gaits have not been affected. There is now new sand in the area but I still use these boots.
Make sure that you measure horse's legs though. I bought mediums for my horse, they fit just right for him, but would be to small for a slightly stockier horse."

"I bought these Ventech Elite boots when my pair of SMB Elite's wore out after 3 years. I've had them for nearly a year, and they're still in excellent condition. I ride 5 days a week. These are stretchier and more breathable that the earlier versions of SMB's, and seem very comfortable and supportive for my horse. I definitely recommend them."
