What one do you prefer and why? Do you ever use anything else? Just wonderin :3
 
Depends on what your doing and your horse's stride and where, how and if he has an overreaching problem.
 
I like both.

However I use splint boots. I like them because they cradle the fetlock more and support the tendon.

I think it just depends on what your doing. Like if your just practicing dressage then you can use polo wraps. Just simple work that doesn't involve the horse doing heavy work.

I personally don't like polo wraps because their a pain in the @$$ to put on.

I prefer my legacy boots: http://www.pfiwestern.com/images/Products/1500/CLS100%20CHEETAH.jpg
 
I like all of them, but really depends on what I am doing.

As a barrel racer, I was brought up told to use polo wraps because they keep everything in place.

Bell boots I used a lot on my old mare because whenever we rode, she overreached and or pulled off her shoes.

Splints I use whenever it is needed. If I am doing a decent practice for barrel racing at a lope or gallop (vs. A quick refresher at a trot,) I just put some splints on to help protect their legs from hooves and internal injury. Polo wraps are nice, but I'm not going to waste a bunch of time putting them on.
 
i use tendon+bell or just tendon or splint+bell or just bell depending what i doing and i use travel boots.
 
I prefer splint boots...tho i do use polo's for pleasure.
Splint boots i feel gives more support. bell boots i do not use because i do not have a horse that 'overreaches'
