Sport’s Infatuated Gypsy, a 14-year-old black Tennessee Walking Horse mare, and Excalibur Annakate, an eight-year-old bay Morgan mare, have been training and competing in Renegade® Hoof Boots for over a year with great success.
Annakate notched her 1,000th lifetime mile by completing two days at the Valley of the Sun ride near Phoenix in late November. She finished the 2009 AERC season with 670 miles and a 100% completion rate, all in Renegades.
In early December, both mares achieved another milestone, completing their first three-day Pioneer endurance ride at Las Cienegas near Sonoita, Arizona. Both wore strap-on Renegade® Hoof Boots all three days.
“Gypsy and Annakate traveled over the terrain, which ranged from deep sandy washes to rocks and gravel to grasslands, smoothly and effortlessly,” reported Bobbie Jo Lieberman, owner/rider of Annakate.
“With the gaited mare’s gliding action, the boots seem to give her feet a better base of support, and her feet are tougher than ever,” added Karl Phaler, owner/rider of Gypsy.
Congratulations to these two tough endurance mares and their owners/riders!
