I just wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you about my wonderful experience using Renegade® Hoof Boots.
July of 2009, I finally made the informed decision to take my horse barefoot. Oscar is an 8 year old OTTB and put in 4 long years of racing before I adopted him from a rescue. I board in an area which has very hard pack, rocky ground with hills all around. I knew I would need a good pair of hoof boots during the first year of his transition because of the terrain and the fact that he has worn shoes the majority of his life.
I researched and found Renegades were being used by finishers of Tevis and with no rubbing or sores. Wow, I had to try them. I got my boots and they came with extra replacement straps and easy adjustment instructions. They were very well made and were every bit as easy to put on as shown on the website. I was impressed.
Well, it is 6 months later and I am still impressed! I just slip the boots on as I tack up and head out for hours of trail riding. I have not had a boot come off yet and have ridden some rugged straight up and down terrain with ravines and obstacles abounding. My horse’s hooves are doing so well I am going to have to re-measure him for a new pair as his hooves are now 1 size larger than they were 6 months ago.
His performance is improved and he finally is landing heel first consistently, which would not have been possible without his Renegades. The attached picture is of one of our recent warm up sessions and shows his beautiful heel first landing. All I can say is thank you for your wonderful product and that I will be making another order very soon for Renegades in the next size up.
