Re: Renegade hoof boots
I've used Renegades for 6 months now, in mud up to Kitty's fetlocks, they don't come off (although sometimes I think they have 'cause I can't see them for mud!). One came off once when I first had them, because I hadn't done them up properly, but the fetlock strap stayed done up so one was left hanging around her leg - not flown off into the bushes!
I think Trelawney might have a problem with some boots rubbing, for instance Boas come over the coronet so would be no good unless you could get his feather inside them. Sorry they don't make renegades large enough, but for anyone with a horse with smaller feet I would recommend them unreservedly

Re: Renegade hoof boots
That is good. I was thinking about getting a pair but the owners of the company never answered my question and the answer they did give me was very disappointing.
I wanted to know how much traction they provide. Like are they more like a running shoe? or hard plastic. The problem I have with boots is I am on pavement a lot when I drive. 90% of the boots out there provide too much traction and are a recipe for bowed tendons and splints.
I asked customer service at renegade hoof boots and they said that my horse had to have mustang roll toe etc. to use their boots and that was about it. I was kind of put off but I do definately like the idea of the boots. I wanted to get a pair of marquis hoof boots but they are hard to find over here. They actually did tests on the marquis and several other boots to test the traction and the marquis was the only one that matched the distance a barefoot hoof slid when it hit the ground in a horses normal paces.

Re: Renegade hoof boots
Odd that you had that experience
they were SO helpful to me and answered every query.
Renegades are much harder than Boa's and Equiboots, I would say about the same as Marquis. The grip is excellent, I ride on slippery grass a lot and Kitty canters fine without slipping. On the road they do not stick like a running shoe but are not slippery. They are the best boots I have had, and I've tried most of them.

Re: Renegade hoof boots
I contacted Renegades and they were very helpful in that they advised that the shape of Trelawny's hooves werent a problem - size was - hopefully they will do large sizes in the future as they do look very good!

Re: Renegade hoof boots
Hey all, we were talking about these boots during the barefoot and natural horsekeeping clinic I went to.
Then clinician runs a hoof rehab clinic and apparently, Renegade gave them a few pairs to use for a trial basis. I guess everything is going well with them. The clinician was very happy with them and Renegade is very happy as this will seriously help with advertising and sales.
Win win situation for both sides! I am looking at getting some for my guys too!
