Those Splint Boots are just fine! Actually I used those alot during pony club before SMB's came into the scene.
Those are great because they are made out of Neoprene, and many studdies show that neoprene helps in absorbing that shock that our horses front limbs take when doing strenuous activities like jumping.
Our horses front legs take ALOT of beating when jumping, and that' why I always use boots on my horse when I jump, because I want to:
Those boots you have are perfectly acceptable because of the Neorprene material. If you look around at Cross Country Boots, you'll see alot of them now, are lined with Neoprene because of the studdies showing how it aids in absorbing that shock that our horses front legs take.
Anything you have, that is lined with Neoprene, or made out of Neoprene, will do great :)
