All the Reasons Majyk Equipe Rocks

A while back, after my review of the generation 2 Majyk Equipe Dressage boots, Bev reached out to me to apologize that they won't be making or selling them in smalls anymore, and to offer to send me a pair of the old generation 1 smalls that they had "sitting around".  

I use them for pretty much every ride unless they're in the laundry.

Of course I accepted.  They won't be making or selling the Dressage boots in small anymore, and mine are getting just a bit ragged after two years - mostly from Velcro hitting the binding on accident than any defect in the boots.

This is after a ride, pre-wash.  You gotta admit they look pretty good for two year old white schooling boots.

Some time went by and I completely forgot about that conversation, until...


This arrived, pretty close to my birthday.  I know ME didn't plan it that way, but we can pretend!

Inside was way more than I expected to receive:


Not one but TWO pairs of the Dressage smalls, and a completely unexpected pair of the ME leather open fronts (Majyk Equipe Boyd Martin Leather Tendon Jump Boots) in the brand new pony (SQUEE!) size!  I was so blown away.  I've admired them for such a long time, and actually having them in my hands confirmed that they are as nice as I thought they would be.


I also realized that since all of my leather stuff is used except my girth, I never get to smell that new leather smell.  These things smelled heavenly out of the box. 

A full review is coming once I receive the matching pony hinds that I bought and are backordered at Riding Warehouse.  But in the meantime, check out how tiny these things are.  They are so tiny, my trainer giggled when she looked at them sitting on a tack trunk.  

I needed something for scale and the closest thing to me was a handle of Tito's.  I realize now that this is a terrible scale photo, oh well.  Trust me, they're T-I-N-Y.
The pony hinds are backordered right now, but look for a full review on the full set as soon as I get them.  Thank you, thank you, thank you Majyk Equipe for making some of your awesome boots in pony sized!  I hope they sell like crazy!

    1. Yeah, that may be their biggest curse - they last so long I really don't need to buy more! Although that said, they genuinely improve in noticeable ways from generation to generation, so I keep buying them.

  2. That's awesome, lucky you!! I've been eyeballing those open fronts, and I love the cross country ones too, although I'm not sure I do enough cross country to quite justify them yet..

    1. Do it! They're so cheap, and I use them for hacks and stuff too. It's not like most XC boots where they're wearing hard armor, the strike plate flexes like a regular schooling boot until impact, when it hardens.

  11. This is so awesome! Too bad they aren't selling the dressage boots in small anymore. Katai's pink boots are starting to show a lot of wear and I'm starting to do some shopping for new boots.
