Can boots make my pony's legs get too warm? Unfortunately, yes, wearing boots on your pony's legs during exercise can cause their legs to heat up, and if their tendons get too hot for too long, it can lead to injury. But don't worry, it doesn't mean you shouldn't use boots at all! Boots offer important protection. You just need to be selective in choosing the right ones. The amount of heat generated by boots depends

on their design. Boots with tiny holes or special ventilation are better because they let more heat escape, unlike the traditional ones. Also remember, that the less time your pony spends wearing boots, the safer it is for their legs. So, plan your rides carefully and remove the boots as soon as it's safe to do so. Your pony's legs will thank you for it!
