I don't know if any of you get "Michael Plumb's Horse Journal" but it is a
publication where they try different products and then report the results of
them as to their performance. I personally use SMB's, and do get sand in,
however I keep them rinsed and cleaned and it is kind of a pain to do. In
my lates journal they tested SMB, Les Vogt's pro equine super sling athletic
sport boot, classic equine EZ wrap sport boot, protekta l-shaped wraps,
Libertyville Saddle Shops Equi-Prene combo boots and Royal Rider Air boot.
bottom line was Les Vogt's pro equine came out on top. The reason SMB did
not was that they found on the horses they tested them on the did not feel
the fetlock area of the boot fit that well and they tended to gape a bit so a
complete seal against sand and dirt was not there..

Now I have to investigate and think about this because I've used SMB's for 2
years.
