Cross country boots

Leg protection for eventing
Cross country boots are thicker and provide more protection for legs than normal brushing boots as the obstacles jumped are solid and not designed to be knocked down. They have secure fastenings and many riders will also use sticky coloured tape wrapped around to give additional security to prevent them falling off. Over reach boots are normally used in the front feet as well to prevent injury.
