Riding boots recommendations!

Can anyone recommend some long lasting riding boots please?
My daughter rides 7 racehorses a day and she's going through a pair of long leather boots every couple of months. She's currently been wearing Dublin ones around the £130 mark but just wondering if anyone can suggest any alternatives please?

Does she have to wear long boots? My daughter’s had her Ariats for coming up to four years - they’ve been repaired once (the zipper holder broke) but are still going strong. However she tends to keep them for lessons and competitions and wears cheapish jodhpur boots and half chaps for every day riding with leather country boots for yard work

Thank you. She doesn't have to, I think she just prefers them. I wonder if we might just have to accept she'll need new ones every few weeks because of the amount of use they get! 🤔

What’s the budget? I used to be a work rider and think you get two breeds, either those that buy a new pair of cheap rubber boots every 8 weeks or shell out on a £250 pair of proper exercise boots from Arione or Denis Grazoli.
Personally I was in the latter camp and they lasted really well!

Ooh, thank you. I'll have a look at those. I don't think she'll mind spending if they'll last.
