Product Recommendation: UGG winter riding boots
Okay, okay, these are not real riding boots, but they are sheep skin lined, tall, leather, flexible but also firm enough for riding and the materials is durable and thick enough without being bulky. You can also roll the top part up to lengthen the height of the boots which is what I do, the laces allow you to fit multiple layers of pants underneath the boots if you want or you can tighten them so they fit perfectly over just breeches. They are awesome boots for riding if you are in the north like me and facing a winter of riding in temperatures below zero. There is nothing worse than jumping off your horse with cold feet and feeling like your feet will shatter upon landing on the ground.
I personally don’t like the fit nor the quality of mountain horse winter boots and other official horse winter boots I’ve had never lasted more than one season.
You can buy these UGGs all over the web and in Canada from places like the Bay and Gravity Pope. They range in price from $200-$400 depending on where you get them, but there are a lot of online retailers who are trying to sell you low quality knock offs so beware!
