Best Answer

Horses wear different types of 'leg warmers'. They can wear:

> Exercise boots - To be used during strenuous work or jumping

> Polo wraps - To stimulate blood flow during flatwork

> Over-reach boots - To protect the front hooves from being hit by the hind hooves, or to protect during jumping or cross country

> Travel boots - To protects the horse's legs when in transportation eg, lorries or trailers

> Stable bandages - To keep legs warm at night, and to protect the skin on the legs

And many others, which can easily be researched.

These ones above are only the ones I use on my ponies, but it all really depends on the needs of the horse and rider.
