"Cheap Plastic"

I knew these were made of plastic, but I thought maybe it would be a bit higher quality plastic . . . they aren't shiny like in the pictures, they're a dull purple, and they are made very cheaply. They should work fine on my easy-to-ride mare, until they accidentally get stepped on. They are sure to snap as soon as they can. I'm very disappointed, wish they had been a bit cheaper. Worth no more than $3.
