It is always a good idea to carry a spare extra Renegade Hoof Boot or two when you ride. 

Here are some tips showing a few different ways to carry a spare hoof boot.  For most riders, one spare boot is enough, however, if your horse takes different sizes on different hooves it might be a good idea to carry two spares.  This way you will always be able to fit a spare to a front or hind hoof if the need arises. 

Use a hoof boot bag to carry a single boot

Hoof boot sized bags can be attached to the front, side, or rear of your saddle.  In addition to carrying a boot you can also use the bags to carry additional snacks or other items.  The inside of a Renegade makes for a great place to stash other items. Use additional straps, zip ties or elastic bungee material to secure the pack so it won’t bounce.  You can carry two spare boots by using a hoof boot bag on each side of your saddle.

Use a cantle pack on the rear of your saddle

Cantle bags are often larger and can carry anywhere from one to four additional boots.  These packs are able to carry several other items as well, and often even come with straps that allow you to strap down a jacket or rain gear. 

Use your saddle pommel

Attach one or two boots using the pastern strap on the heel captivator to wrap around the pommel on the front of your saddle.  This will hold the boot securely with no bounce.  This will often work over the top of a pommel pack.

Use straps and D-rings to attach and tie down a boot.

Feed the velcro on the pastern strap through the D-ring and attach it through the other side of the captivator the same way you would secure the boot on your horse.  Then use one or more ties going through one or more D-rings to hold the boot tight against the saddle. This will keep the boot from bouncing and from bothering your horse. 

Attach one or two boots to the front of your breastcollar. 

This works best if there is a boot on each side to keep the weight balanced and distributed evenly.  Warning; This can cause additional stress on the cables on your boot.  This may also bother your horse longer term if the boots are bouncing, but if you need a way to carry a boot and none of the other ways will work this is another option.

Previously ridden in boots make the best spares!

Ideally, you will want to carry a spare or spare boots that have been ridden in a handful of times.  That way they will have been adjusted, sized, and properly fitted to your horse.  When it comes time to replace your current Renegade Hoof Boots consider retiring them while they still have some life left and turning them into spare boots.
