Boots

For horseback riding, you need a boot or riding shoe with a heel. The following are some of our recommendations.

Justin Men’s Ropers: Justin makes a comfortable roper that is also good for riding.

Ariat Men’s Workhog Steel Toe Work Boot: These are the boots I currently wear most often. I like to have steel toe protection when working around horses. These boots provide protection for my toes, along with comfort and durability. These are my first square toe boots.

Justin Bent Rail Boots: Great riding boot. Fits nicely into a stirrup and has the traditional feel of a classic cowboy boot.

Ariat Venttek Ultra Square Toe– Very nice boot by one of the best bootmakers in the business today. Ariat provides a vented shaft and odor-resistant liner. The boot is surprisingly light and has a functional heel.

About Miles Henry

Hi there! I'm Miles, the person behind this website. Born and raised in Louisiana, I've been around horses for as long as I can remember. From racing quarter horses and barrel horses to Thoroughbreds, I've owned them all.

Currently, I'm working with a team of seven horses, each at a different stage in their training. It's not just about racing for me, though. I grew up with horses as integral to our daily activities—working with cattle, trail riding, or even hunting.

Barrel racing was my first foray into the competitive world of horses, and it's been nearly 25 years since I leaped into the horse racing business. It's been an incredible journey, and through this website, I hope to share a bit of that with you.
