“When veterinarians put Summer Whinnys™ to use on a hard-to-handle leg condition, they see for themselves how valuable and complete this sock is as a tool for leg protection,” says founder and Sox For Horses president, Ray Petterson.

"We welcome the high degree of professional examination and scrutiny of our designs that we expect from AAEP convention-goers. Summer Whinnys™ and Whinny Warmers are not ''just'' socks.
