For decades, leg wraps and horse boots have been considered vital pieces of equipment for working horses.

Many equestrians love heading out to the trails with their horses and exploring the countryside. Besides allowing them to take in new scenery on horseback, it also gives them the opportunity to build their relationship with their horse. While this is enjoyable on its own, some equestrians like adding the element of competition to their trail riding experience. This has led to the rise of endurance riding and competitive trail riding, where equestrians are able to put the fitness of their horses and themselves to the test.
