August 1-2, 2009

Using Renegade strap-on hoof boots, Linda Morelli and her Arabian gelding 'FALLING LEAF' successfully complete the 2009 running of the Western States Trail Ride (AKA The Tevis Cup) held near Auburn California, finishing at the highly respectable position of 20th place.  The Tevis Cup is considered to be the toughest 100 mile endurance competition in the world. Out of 169 starters only 87 finished for a completion rate of just 51%.

While other barefoot competitors at Tevis were using another brand of glue-on hoof boot, Linda and LEAF met the ultimate challenge being the first in history to complete the entire 100 mile Tevis event with a barefooted horse using strap-on type hoof boots (with no metal teeth) without using any accessories such as vet wrap, duct tape, stockings, socks, pastern wraps or glue and the like.

Linda and LEAF used the same Renegade Hoof Boots during the entire event, having no boot problems whatsoever!

Congratulations Linda and LEAF; you are truly world class competitors!
