Works well and quality

These stay up for the most part for a couple days but you need to check them after that. they slide down but mine didn't come off. Another brand came off. I like this companies products, they are quality items.

My quarter horses have 40 acres of pasture with run-ins . That leg protectors Benefits the horse from biting parasites and flies when the grass grows to high it can irritate the horses hocks and legs. So yes Kensington products are very reliable and made strong enough for my five quarter horses.

Don’t buy anything else besides Kensington!

Kensington is the ONLY brand of fly sheets and boots my horses wear. They wear the sheets year round as it’s a great way to protect their expensive winter blankets or put under their rain sheets so they don’t sweat. They wear the boots year round as it also protects them from fetlock or knee sores. They are VERY durable and I won’t buy anything else.

These really live up to their descriptions!

I love Kensington Fly Boots and have been using them for almost 20 years. They are the only ones that last longer than a couple of weeks, and their replacement policy is unique. Now that they come in different lengths, they're even better!

These seem to be well made.

I am using just one boot, (for about a week to date), to cover a wound on my horse's front leg over the cannon bone area. I have to keep re-attaching one or more straps every day or two, but that is likely because she is tugging at it because the wound itches while it's healing. The boot slumps a little bit, but not too badly. I think it would slide down even less if it were packaged in a zippered plastic bag that doesn't require it to be folded in the first place.

Worked great this summer

These worked well for my pasture boarded horse this past warm season. I got them because he was constantly stomping his front hooves to get the flies off. When I first put them on my gelding, he did the cutest Spanish walk ever! Then he got used to them. haha. They do slip down a little, but they have never fallen off him though. I repositioned the boots every day or every other day - whenever I went out to see him. I found that doing to top and bottom Velcros tight helps keep them in place. Every once in a while I would take them home and wash them in a bucket outside. I have them stored away to use for next year. The black plaid looked really nice on him.

Horse and I love it

I purchased this product because of the quality that comes from the Kensington name, and these fly boots did not disappoint. Cowboy is a Quarter Horse, who is out 24/7 (unless foul weather) with a small herd. He plays, rolls, etc. and the boots stay put. He no longer stomps his feet when the flies are around which is a plus as it saves him from cracked hooves. These boots lasted a complete season and have only a few minor tears. They did begin to slouch toward the end of the season, but did not compromise the protection from the flies. I purchased another pair and am keeping last years as a back up. I would definitely recommend these fly boots.

I love these!

They arrived next day and size lg fit my 15'2 Andalusian Mare perfectly. I have been watching her on cam with them, to see if they would fall off or cause her any problems and so far they've been on for 3 days without falling or sliding down or up. They fit just below the fetlock and below the knee. They are loose enough in the middle to allow her to move comfortably. She shows no signs of distress or laying down less at night with them on due to lack of circulation. Her legs aren't hot with them on and she's a black bay. I even rode her back to her stall tonight from the feed room and she doesn't even seem to realize they are on. She has the type of blood flies and mosquitoes just love. She looks much more relaxed in her stall with them on now. I'll post a picture as soon as I can remember to take one! Update: Day 5, the boots started to wrinkle and slide down but in their defense they've been on for 5 days without doing so. Also in their defense, they didn't come off or cause in circulation or swelling from the wrinkling. The velcro has stayed on tight and the fleece about the top and bottom is not too tight but just enough so the bugs don't get in. The netting in between is loose enough that when it does wrinkle down that it won't hurt the horse. I've washed them, the color doesn't bleed so safe for grey horse use and put them out to dry laying flat, we'll see how they are after.

Great fly boots

I actually bought these to help keep my grey horse clean for shows. My horse loves to get dirty so I put these on after he gets a bath to keep his legs clean. They work great! I don't have any trouble with them falling down or slouching and they keep my horse's legs clean during a multi-day show.

Great fly boots

Great fly boots! They really, truly stay up and in place, and without annoying stays. My boy wears them 24/7 except for grooming and riding time. The great thing about them is that the Velcro extends well around the boot, so they fit even my horse's skinny legs with the Velcro fully engaged all the way. My last fly boots (with stays that kept slipping out, irritating my horse of course) had Velcro that was engaged by only about an inch, the rest of the strap just flapping loose. He's worn these Kensingtons for months now (remember, 24/7) and while they don't look like new, they also show no signs of wear, just some natural wrinkling. My only cavil is I wish they came in solid colors, as I hate plaid, but NBD.
