Cashel Crusader Leg Guards Horse Orange

I have been using these fly boots since 2018. My horse absolutely hates flies and was quickly loosening her shoes from stomping so much. These are now something we just can't live without! These fly boots stay put and hold up pretty well. I originally bought the WB size due to my horse's height but they were a little too big on the front. She wears bell boots so that helped keep them up. I eventually got a second smaller set and used the WB size ones on the back. I have just replaced that original set of WB size boots this summer. My horse wears these 24/7 from May to October. I got two and a half summers out of the front set that I bought in 2019. My favorite thing about these is that they come down over the top of the hoof. My horse has scratches over a large portion of her hind coronet bands and pasterns and these boots cover the area well. They are lightweight and don't seem to over heat her legs even in the hottest weather. They only have minimal lining in the fetlock area to prevent rubbing and the rest is mesh.

I have a gelding with 4 stockings who won't stomp the flies, so he gets bitten up so badly he has bloody legs and swarms of flies come back. I've tried other fly boots that worked to stop flies, but by morning after a night of turnout, they had slunk down all the way and weren't so effective. These stay put!! The contour around the bone helps keep them in place and I haven't had a single problem. I was hesitant at first because I was worried the stiffer material (which keeps them standing up) would cause rubs, but we're good so far!! Would definitely recommend these to anyone with a horse who needs fly boots as bad as mine. Love the color options too :)

The flies drive my horse crazy, but I have never tried fly boots, because the ones I've seen on the horses at our barn look uncomfortable and inefficient. My trainer suggested I try some, so I checked out what Smartpak carries. I was attracted to the Cashel guards because of the way they are fitted around the hoof & pastern. We always use Cashel fly masks, so I trusted the quality. They are easy to put on & adjust, they stay up, and my horse must find them comfortable because she doesn't even seem to notice that they are on. Yay! I've had them only a month, but durability wise, so far, so good.

I've had these for over a year, and they still look brand new. I hose them off after each use, and throw them in my washing machine at the end of the season, super easy to take care of. They are easy to put on, and actually stay on/up. I have had no issues with these slipping or moving around, both in turnout and in the barn. They are super lightweight and breathable, so there's no worry about the legs overheating. I have a size large, and they fit the front legs of both of my nearly 17hh TB's and my stocky 15hh Quarter Horse.

Cashel Fly Leg Guards are a LIFESAVER!!! My 35 year old gelding is sensitive to the bugs. Last summer they started making sores on his legs. These guards are so easy to apply and comfortable to wear. He wore them all summer, just removing to clean them every so often. They held up super well. Great product awesome company, love their fly masks too. My guy wears the long one which covers the nose. Thank you, Cashel! With love and lots of gratitude, Maia

I bought these about a month ago for my horse that lives outside 24/7. I was a little skeptical since my friend has historically has a very hard time finding fly boots that wouldn't fall off, slip around or the horses wouldn't fidget with. But the flies are so bad this year I figured it was worth a try! One of the geldings was stomping so hard due to flies that he was destroying his hooves (he was barefoot and since then we have had to put shoes back on front to save his hooves). I initially was interested in them due to their more contoured shape vs other fly boot products I have seen. I ordered the "horse" size for my 15.1 QH and they are just the right size height-wise but maybe a teeny bit big in circumference (run out of velcro to get the tightness I want). They literally stay on ALL DAY, with him and his hooligan buddies running around the pasture. I also actually like the bright colors also which is different for me lol out of 3 horses wearing them all day we have only had ONE boot come off and my friend said admittedly didn't think she got that one on tight enough. It was easy to find in the pasture due to the color vs a grey or white one, so that is an added plus! The leg guards don't chafe their legs at all, and their legs don't seem hot or sweaty under them when we remove them in the evening. I wish they would sell them in packs of 4 as an option, but it is nice to be able to get one size for fronts and a larger size for the backs. I have a more slightly built gelding I will be getting a set for but I will probably go for the "arab/cob" size for him. 100% would recommend these fly guards to others, they have saved our horses legs so far this summer. Side note: Cashel please pretty please make a lime green!!!! And maybe purple ;)

I've been using these for a little over a month, and overall, I think they are a fairly good product. They do scrunch down a bit, but only about an inch or two. My horse got a ton of fly bites on her lower forelegs last summer, so many that I would find blood droplets on her hooves. No fly spray provided full-time protection. I have not observed this since she started wearing these boots. She seems comfortable in them, and I don't see her stomping flies when she's wearing them.

These arrived and I was thrilled. They worked amazingly, for a short time. Two out of the four purchased frayed and became useless. I don't like writing negative reviews, as I tend to keep them to myself. However, I thought you guys should know. Not as durable as they claimed. Never purchased fly guards before, but Cashel is a well known brand so I fig, why not. Sorry guys, love ya, it this one sadly missed the boat for me......sigh!

Does not fit. Ordered draft size. Would fit thick legged thoroughbred but not a draft. If you own a Belgian, Percheron, or other draft, these will not fit.

The boots I bought were labeled draft but didn't fit my Belgian at all so I put them on my Percheron who is more warm blood size. They slid down after 2 days and wrinkled and bunched up on her pastern rubbing sores on them which I now have to fight to heal because the flys I was trying to avoid keep chewing on. Total waste of money
