I absolutely love these boots! You can bend and flex these boots, and another amazing feature is that when you hold them up to the light, you can see it through them - proof of how breathable they are! As a barrel racer on a hot mare, I am not confident to let her go without boots for fear of her clipping herself, but I also want to be mindful of not overheating the tendons - absolutely love these boots! The only issue for me is that she is small boned, I purchased the mediums: when I do them up in the tightest hole, I fear there is too much tension across the front of her cannon bone, so I wear them in the middle hole on both straps, which is a little loose and the boots slide down a little lower than where I think they should sit, but not too low that they are in an incorrect position (not really an issue I guess, better low than high). If not for that, would have been a 5 Star review!
