I wash my horse’s boots using warm water, a stiff brush and horse shampoo. Horse shampoo is soap, so it will get the dirt and grime off, the stiff brush helps for those hard spots, and it is less likely to cause skin problems on your horse. I to the same thing with all my girths and cinches too.

Great advice, thanks! However, it would be nice to get a comparison between the different types of wraps and their uses, too.

Thanks for posting this! So many people don’t realize how much they can do for their horses with something as simple as a pair of boots or wraps.

Nice, simple tips. I think many horses could benefit from boots/wraps for everyday protection on the trail or jumping/reining in the arena.

Thanks for the great tips! I use standing wraps on my pleasure horse and my trainer just recently showed me the correct way to apply them when she saw me doing it wrong. It really does take practice.
