After my horse suffered an infection to his hock that, while cleared, swelling still remains, my vet recommended he get a hock wrap whenever he is stalled. The other model of the BoT hock wrap worked, but given that this looked like a long-term situation, I opted for the added padding to avoid rubs. Great in theory, but this wrap does not hold up. It has too much padding. Additionally, where the other model has two straps that completely wrap around the leg, this one just has three that come across the front. Without a wrap under, it didn't last long before it was by his hoof. Even with a wrap under it to prop it up, it slipped quite badly in only 4 hours. Might be fine if you're going to put it on a tied horse for a short duration, but for a stalled horse, this isn't the best design. I'm returning it as it simply doesn't work for us.

Slips off
My boy is a warmblood (17 hands) and the wraps fall down so I’m going to have to return them.

Love hate relationship with these...
I absolutely love these hock wraps. They're much better than the old style without padding. BUT they constantly rip. I am having to send back these because the quality of outer boot is so poor. Back on track needs to make a stronger product if they want customers to be happy.

Much better than the original style
These padded BOT hock boots are way better than the older style without padding. However, I have had 3 pairs of these and every single one rips at the top seam. I decided to get these from Smartpak so that I can return them if they begin to be faulty again. They also don't stay up very well, even with standing wraps below.

I love them BUT
they don't seem to stay up very well!!! I am going to try putting standing wraps under them and see if that props them up but I wish they stayed up on their own.....
ps i was stressing about sizing when i got them and i got larges for my 17.1 German Hanoverian

Love them!
The hock wraps are very well made and durable, all materials feel like they are very high quality. The product has helped my old arthritic mare drastically. She comes out of her stall less stiff and occasionally even at a trot which she hasn't been able to do in years. Recently the farrier was also able to lift both hind legs onto his trimming stand which my mare has been unable to physically accommodate that for the last 3-4 years. My only regret is that I didn't buy these sooner! They are wonderful for stiff, old lady hocks!

Love them
Bought these for my horse who tends to start a little stiff in his hocks. 30 minutes in these boots before our ride and there's no stiffness at all! Highly recommend.

Back on track hock boots
Ripped within three uses! Smartpak stood behind their products and rectified the problem quickly!
