Looks to me like this is a 95% woman issue.

Just more proof of how much people don't know what they're talking about. "Splint covers" (splint boots) are just for that - splints. They keep the horse from rapping themselves and there is relatively no support in them. Wrapping a horses' leg with anything will not keep them from breaking down. A vetrap bandage wrapped around a horses' ankle four times, less than 1/8 inch thick is not going to "support" a thousand pound animals leg going 40 miles an hour.:rolleyes:
