I own a couple of pairs a couple of sizes.  I use them for exactly 3 things.
1) on all four legs when introducing ridden lateral work in the arena in
combination with bell boots, 2) on fronts, and sometime sall the way around
depending on the horse, for those sprinting competitions like barrel racing
and roping also in combination with bell boots, and 3) on the fronts in
combination with bell boots for training on the longe.  It's been my
experience that they collect dirt, burrs, sand, etc.  and cause excessive
sweating of the lower leg.  That said, lately I don't even use them on the
longe line anymore, perfering simple galloping boots and bell boots.  I
don't think I would ever find a use for them on the trail.  I see them more
as a protection thing against interference from other legs, than having the
ability to actually protect a leg.
