What is better? Boots?

I think the woof boots (the first choice) might be the best for what you want to do. I ride my gelding in a very similar pair, though I prefer ones with 3 straps instead of just 2, they're more sturdy. But my horse has super long legs anyway. I like the protection and support the woof boots give. And if they were suggeste by someone you know, thats already a reliable positive review.
