Buster’s First Trail Trial in Renegades!

Hello!

I wanted to share how pleased I am with Renegades! I ordered my green 5 year old Paint, Buster, a pair of Renegades on the encouragement of my barefoot trimmer in anticipation of his first trail trial. It took place this past Sunday and I must say, *wow*! I was so impressed with his movement in the boots and the fact that not only did they stay on, but they did their job, and quite well at that.

This particular trial was actually a doozy – not because of the obstacles, but because the terrain was challenging. It varied from flat dirt roads, to steep, rocky downhills, to loose, sandy and very, very rocky riverbeds to deep, sticky mud, water both still and running, and the brush when he decided to have a discussion with me about going into aforementioned water. He even stepped on his feet a couple of times and they didn’t come off or twist.

Being a green horse, I was focused on schooling Buster through many of the obstacles that were on the trail, and just the challenges a trail like that presents inherently, and I was so glad to not be concerned about his feet. He didn’t take a single sore step and he moved out beautifully, even through the thick, sticky mud and the rocky areas. When I got him home and took his boots off, they hadn’t retained any mud and they cleaned up perfectly.

I knew he felt good when he took off running across his pen after his roll, bucking and kicking up, even after that tough ride. I couldn’t be more pleased with our Renegades and I will never use another hoof boot. Thanks for helping make our first trail trial a pleasure!
