I live in central PA and I’ve been using Renegades on my Morgan gelding, Dugan, for a little over two years now. He’s 13 and has never been shod in his life. His front feet are wide and round, and the Rens size 2 fit him perfectly – he’s a little 14.2 guy with big feet! More recently, I started booting his hind feet as well, although most of our training rides and even many CTRs and endurance rides he does with bare hinds. I find that the studded boots are really great for the hind feet, especially if the footing is at all slippery.
I love that the parts are replaceable. For example, Dugan is hard on the toes of his front boots, so I have replaced the bottoms twice already, with a different color each time, but did not have to replace the heel captivators, so he now has boots with mix and match colors, which are very cool :-) People are amazed when they see how fast I can put the boots on and take them off. I’ve never had to talk anyone into getting Rens – they see the ease and reliability and they want them!
