Successful year using Renegade hoof boots, by Cindy Bradley

After my most successful year in Endurance last year wearing Renegade boots Bo Tucker and I did our first ride of 2010 on the55 at Old Pueblo March 5th. As you can see in the photo from Old Pueblo he isn’t wearing rear boots. Bo has come along great in Renegades. We seldom use boots on his hind feet at rides any more. Not because I have trouble keeping them on, it is just the opposite If I need them over a very rough section I can get off and put them on so easily. The two straps (toe and heel captivator) attach so easily and hold great, even through mud and water.

Renegade boots have helped Bo transition to much more bare foot riding. We have ridden through snow, mud, deep sand washes and water in the past year. My Renegades have never caused a rub and in fact in one incident actually healed a heel bulb cut that Bo got while playing in a turn-out before a ride. It (the injury) happened at one of the last rides of 2009. Kirt was at the ride and we decided although it was easy footing to use the front boots because the heel captivator would cover the wound. It was healed closed after I finished.

Both Kirt and Gina Lander of Renegade boots are always so helpful whether it be at a ride or on the telephone. There are very few companies you can call and actually speak to the inventor and manufacturer of a product nowdays!
