My horse started losing front shoes, so our farrier suggested I buy him some boots on display. I wanted them to be easy to put on and take off and gave these a try. The rocks in his enclosure eat away at the neoprene a bit when he runs with his buddies, but not to the point where they'll soon be destroyed, and he hasn't lost a single shoe since wearing them. They don't seem to bother his bonds at all. I bought a second pair as a spare and I think they are good value for money.
