As a way to raise funds and awareness for an Irish Assistance Dogs program, Martine and Anne decided to do a 500km trek across the south of France. Their horses’ hooves were protected with Renegade® horse boots the whole way.
Here’s an excerpt from the post of their final riding day of the trek:
“And their feet? They’re definitely in need of a trim at this stage, they haven’t seen hard ground in four weeks. The Renegade® boots have done a great job of protecting them, and there is no way we could have accomplished this without them.
Gigi wore through the toe on three of her boots, and Flurry wore through on one. The tread pattern on all boots has been worn almost flat, and we could feel this for the last week – both horses were slipping more than usual. I don’t think we could have done the really rocky bits in between Vaucluse and the Drôme without them, as metal shoes would not have given any sort of grip on the pure rock surfaces we encountered.”
Read about the rest of their adventure, as well as more information about the Assistance Dogs cause, on their blog, The Wanderly Wagons.
Thanks, Anne and Martine, for trusting your horse’s hoof protection to Renegade® horse boots!
