The Fine Print
We love our products and we're happy to take them back - even custom items. We'll happily take back everything from engraved halters to personalized jackets - even embroidered blankets that have been worn (minus the manure, please). But there are a few things we have to restrict returns on (silly federal regulations).
Undergarments
Health regulations require that undergarments (including bras) need to be in new condition (tags and packages intact) in order to be returned. (Even if it wasn't required, do you really want to shop from a store that takes back used undergarments?!)
Saddles
As riders, we know what a big investment a saddle is. That's why we're proud to offer the best Test Ride program in the business. You can keep our Test Ride saddles risk-free for five days, to really make sure you like the fit and the feel. We know that to truly try a saddle, you have to really ride in it. So go ahead and girth it up. Forget about wrapping your stirrup leathers. Try it with or without a saddle pad. Basically, treat it like you already bought it, so you can make sure you really want to. Because when you buy a saddle from us, we want to make sure you love it. Of course, we want our other customers to love their new saddles, too.
That's why we have a Test Ride option for each saddle we carry - so that all of the other saddles can stay in pristine condition, waiting for their new owners. For this reason, if you purchase a saddle outside the Test Ride program, it's still eligible for return, but must be free from any marks or damage.
So that's it. Seriously. Those are all of our "rules." Well, except the most important one - treating our customers the way we want to be treated. So if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do, please call us at 1-800-461-8898 or email CustomerCare@SmartPak.com. We are always happy to help.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I absolutely love these boots. They are warm, comfortable, have give, and aren't overly bulky for a winter boot. I was able to break them in easily, I think it took 1 ride. They fit around my calf without any problems and I'll definitely be able to put winter riding pants on with them. These are a must have, and I know they'll last as I have other Mountain Horse boots that are indestructible!

TOASY WARM and fits larger calf
These are some WARM WARM boots. They were no bother to brake in or walk around a lot at barn. They fit my larger calf so I am super happy.

Holding up perfectly!
I am loving these boots! My feet have been warm this winter like never before. There's enough room for my thicker winter breeches and my big winter socks, without being too snug. Even after months of wearing them almost daily, they look great (after I cleaned them off of course).

kept my feet very warm!
I bought these a few weeks ago after having to return another makers boot because the heel seam on teh boot ripped. These are made much better and more durable. Comfortable enough to walk around the barn and out to the paddocks and very comfortable riding.

comfortable and warm
I tried this boot as well as MH Ice Rider and Ariat Bromont. Preferred the active rider and was tallest of the 3. Half sizes would be nice. Foot size was just a little big on me.

Keeps your toes warm!
I wore these for the first time the other day when it was in the low 20s. They didn't require any breaking in and kept my toes warm while I rode multiple horses. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 in ariats, but I ordered a 9 so I could wear thick socks as it gets colder and it was the right decision. So if you are in between sizes I would say definitely order up a size. I originally ordered the regular calf, but exchanged it for the wide which is perfect for layering or using with winter/polar fleece breeches. (For comparison I usually wear a full or wide tall boot)
I would recommend this as a winter riding boot. Keeps you warm without too much bulk or tread like some winter boot options.

Bulky boot
I bought these boots for winter riding. Unfortunately these boots were wide through the foot and bulky and heavy. I could not bend my foot. They were a little short but I am tall. They would take a long time to break in.

As clunky as moon boots
I had high hopes for these boots even though my prior experiences with Mountain Horse products have not been good. I've found their items to be clunky and oversized. I thought these might be different as they are called "active" winter boots. I couldn't imagine walking around in them all day let alone fitting them into an English stirrup. Thank goodness for SmartPak's free shipping return policy on sized items!

Warm and High Quality
Greater for riders with wide calves! I normally wear an 8 1/2 in shoes and ordered a 9 thinking that would be good for thick socks. They fit perfectly. I also have a wide calf (about 17.5 inches in diameter) and the wide calf fit me very well. I am on the short side (5'4") so they were a bit tall for me, but broken down fairly quickly. The break in process is no different than any other tall boots in my opinion - but maybe I'm just used to it from being short limb-ed with wide calves. They simply require break-in time. Much less bulky than MH's other boots, comfortable to walk, ride, and do chores in. Very happy with my purchase! Have only had them a month, so can't speak to the durability as much - will update in winter!

Only for LONG legs
I bought these boots to replace a VERY old pair of Mountain Horse Winter boots (meaning this brand lasts a LONG time). Loved the boot, however I was concerned it would take too long to break them in, as the shaft is so tall it was literally biting into the back of my knee. I am 5'9" with long legs, but these boots were too tall for me. I ordered them in wide calf....and they are quite wide, wider than what I would need.

they get the job done
These boots are ok. I bought a 9, which fits well - I'm usually a 9.5. They are pretty clunky and stiff, and the calves are definitely on the big side. However, I wanted something waterproof that I could ride in if needed, and these do the trick so far.

Mountain Horse Active boots, so far I love them!
After much consideration and reading reviews and asking other riders, I purchased the Mountain Horse Active boots. They run bigger. I normally wear a size 7.5 with a wide calf, but wear a 7 with a regular calf. The foot is a little loose in the heel, but there is for thicker socks. They were comfortable from day one and they look really nice. I didn't like the Rimfrost rider. I may change my mind later on, but right now I am very pleased.

Great Boot Overall
I really love these boots! I wish they were a little more waterproof, but they keep my toes very warm. After reading reviews that they ran on the tall side, I didn't think that would matter since I have very long legs. But even for me, the boots rubbed the back of my knees for the first couple days. Once they were completely broken in they were fantastic!

Best winter boot on the market!
It is currently 4 degrees (maybe colder by now) and I've been wearing these boots for a few hours - they are amazing!! I've trialed 3 different pairs of winter riding boots prior to these and these are the first boots that have actually kept my feet toasty warm for longer than 30 minutes. I think they fit true to size. I ordered up a size so I could wear heavy socks with them and I think the fit is perfect. I was worried about the material scratching my saddle, but they are actually pretty smooth. I am extremely happy with them.

great tread, requires break in time
These boots feel warm and bulky, like my other Mtn. Horse boots did. I like the side zipper, as the zipper on the heel gets really worn out and dirty so fast. I found they fit true to size, but the ankle would need to break in for the calf to form comfortably around my leg. Unfortunately, I found a better fit for my needs and did not keep them, so cannot attest to their durability.

Nice winter boots!
When I ride in these boots, I forget that I'm riding in lined winter boots and not leather boots! Warm, great feel of my leg on the horse, pretty good for walking, and easy to clean. Will hopefully last a long time since I'd rather ride than shop for boots!

Decent Boots
I needed warm winter riding boots that I could wear riding in the snow. I didn't want anything bulky, and they needed to be comfortable. My Ariat Brossard boots that I bought last year, though comfortable, are a little too short and get caught underneath my saddle flap when I'm riding. These boots seemed to be more comfortable that the Ice Riders I tried on recently. So far they seem to be keeping me warm in cold, snowy weather. They are still a bit stiff. I'm hoping they'll get more comfortable as they break in.

Warm boots bad Zipper
I ride all day long in the winter outside at 6 to 30F in the mountains of Utah. I have bought many Mountain horse and Dublin boots. This is a warm boot. I did wear with wool socks and bout 1/2 size larger to accommodate since I ride 6-9hrs a day when I can.
Cons-Zippers were stiff and failed in the 1st season of use. Zipper broke at the bottom of the boot so they were unusable after 4 months of use. Local saddle shop wanted way to much to repair them.

I love these boots!! My feet were wicked warm, maybe almost to warm! I'm glad I bought them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a warm riding boot. They are easy to clean and appear to be water-proof.

Wished they would hold up longer
I lived in these for two year. While I enjoyed these boots my first year, the second year they started to get rips around the foot so they were no longer waterproof. The zipper also broke. I also didn't feel very secure when I rode. But for the first year I was very toasty in NY's cold weather!

Painful!
I would call these boots just ok. They do keep my daughters feet warm but she has to put padding on her ankle bones because they rub her ankles so badly even through thick socks. The fit is true to size and they fit her well which is why it surprised me when they rubbed holes in the skin of her ankles. The foot material is so hard and stiff, made worse by the cold, that they crimp inward for a very painful experience.

Painful Ankles!
I've been looking for a pair of tall winter riding boots that fit a wide calf and after reading reviews & chatting with customer service, picked these.
Unfortunately, the ankles were really painful at the intersection of the foot material and the boot shaft. The zippers had a small fabric flap in the exact area, which is likely to prevent rubs against your outer ankle bone.
For me, the boot material bunched in that spot, painfully poking me right next to my ankles. There are other reviews that note the ankle issues and since it was mentioned that they didn't go away with time (like leather boots), I'm sending these back. Hoping MH will address the issue on their next model!

Great boot, great value
I've only had these boots a few weeks but they are breaking in quickly and are nice and warm. Got them on sale and would highly recommend them. My last pair of Mountain Horse winter boots (different style) lasted 7 years+ and I'm still using them to muck stalls!

Only for real weather
These are not appropriate for just riding around in a cold indoor ring and could NEVER be used for a show ring. They are very heavy and durable looking and would probably be great for riding outdoors in the cold, snow, rain etc. Also they do not offer a slim calf size and that's a real problem in a boot this chunky.

Cold Feet
Very well fitting boot and would be ok if you ride one horse and then are done. I ride and teach all day and by the 2nd horse my feet are already cold. If I stand and teach my feet are freezing. :( Very sad because I like the fit.

Warm Boots that Fit!
When the Mountain Horse Active Rider boots went on sale I figured I would give them a try. With HUGE 18 1/2 inch calfs I didn't think I would be able to get any winter boots to fit and still look nice. Much to my surprise, these warm boots are a great fit in the foot and while snug, the wide calf size fits my calf. I have not ridden in them yet, but they are comfortable to walk around in and if the weather ever cooperates, I will ride in them. I do find the zippers to be a bit "sticky", but they seem to work easier each time I put the boots on. I have not worn them enough to be able to judge how well they will hold up, but I hope to be able to wear them for years to come.

Great cold weather boot
I purchased these boots 1 1/2 years ago. They have held up well for two winter seasons. I ride about 6 horses a day and the boots have kept my feet warm in frigid Wisconsin winter months. The only wear is on the top of the foot where there is a small hole (which may have been caused by my spur while kicking the boots off). The faux fur lining is great.. But has lost a bit of it's fluff on the foot bed due to the fact that I have walked and ridden in them for two seasons equivalent to 10 months for 6 hours a day. I have already purchased a second pair for next year.

Didn't keep the boots
cuz they were too big. I have always worn a size 8 but these were way too big. I even bought some insoles and wore heavy sox but I'd have gotten a blister had I worn them any longer. Other than the size, they seemed like great boots...I will order them in a smaller size when the weather gets cold again...we're having a short respite from winter right now.
