We received this great letter from natural hoof care providers and endurance riders Jen Clingly and Jeremy Ford of Wild About Hooves in Australia. We’re thrilled to hear about their success in using and competing in Renegade® Hoof Boots!
We are so pleased to advise that all three horses from our farm “the Gem” successfully completed the 160km/100mile endurance championships in glue on boots to finish third in their divisions. It was a concussive ride underfoot. The weather was hot and only 40% of the field successfully completed the tough course.
Our horses pulled up sound and fit to go again. They looked a million dollars the following day and Diamond Tail Desert Opal won “Best Conditioned” horse.
So that is the close of the season here in Australia and I am rapt to report I have finished on top of the ladder in the lightweight division:
Top Distance Rider
Top Distance Horse
Top Points Horse
Top Points Rider
Jeremy, too, finished the year as Top Heavyweight Distance Rider and Top Heavyweight Distance Horse.
The Renegade® boots are unfaultable! Both the slip on and glue ons have proven time and time again that shoes are not necessary for long distance riding. Our horses travel far and fast in them. And — woo hoo! — have finished top of the state as champions at endurance.
Only thing we got caught out with was not scuffing out the boot prior to gluing. Lost one as the adhere only stuck to the hoof wall. Totally our fault – didn’t check them and were on a mission to get organised for an event.
So it is with the sincerest thanks and gratitude for your support. We are looking forward to giving Renegades the biggest rap at the presentation award night.
Thank you from all at WILD ABOUT HOOVES.
Jen Clingly
