Hello,
I have used those, and they do work (I guess it would also depend on the horse). It doesn't make a huge difference, but when you school in them and the horse gets used to working harder, when you take them off to go in the ring they continue to jump harder. You can hack in them I guess, but you have to use them when jumping for an effect. But they are illegal to show in, so be sure to take them off before you go in the ring....thats the only way you get results anyways bc you school in them, then take them off for the minute you show and they think theyre still on.
