Barefoot endurance horse history is made! The first off-the-shelf hoof boot made for a barefoot horse finishes the Tevis Cup 100 mile ride – without ANY modifications!
Congratulations to Linda Morelli and Falling Leaf for completing Tevis this past weekend!
Linda and “Leaf” finished at 2:37 a.m. in 20th place out of 169 starters.
Leaf wore the same four Renegade® strap-ons throughout the entire ride and had absolutely no problems or issues with them whatsoever! Leaf looked great the day after, with no rubs or sore spots any place that the boots contacted!
Renegade® Hoof Boots are the first off-the-shelf strap-on hoof boot that has been made specifically for a barefoot horse to complete the Tevis without any modifications (such as glue, vetwrap, etc.). Did we mention that Leaf used the same four boots throughout the entire event?
It was so exciting to see Linda and Leaf featured on the cover of the front page of the Auburn newspaper the morning after the Tevis! Their Renegades show up nicely in the photo too!!
We have worked hard to design a horse hoof boot that will work for riders of barefoot horses in a variety of conditions. The boot had to be simple and easy to use and adjust in between trimming cycles. It also had to be able to work for a large variety of horses without modifications being required.
We know that riders don’t want to have to spend a lot of time protecting their horses’ feet, heel bulbs and pasterns from their hoof boots. Rider feedback tells us that riders want their hoof boots to protect their horses’ hooves and be easy to use. We believe that the Renegade strap-on hoof boot is the best and easiest to use hoof boot on the market!
If Leaf can conquer the Tevis Cup (known as one of the toughest endurance rides in the world) in Renegades, what can your horse do with them?
Renegade® Hoof Boots are manufactured in the United States and come in eight exciting colors. They have been used successfully by many types of horses and riders, including endurance riders competing in all types of events. Isn’t it time your horse had a hoof boot that is easy to use?
An October 2009 Update:
Linda Morelli and Leaf are featured on the cover of the current issue of The Horse’s Hoof!
The story is about their excellent 2009 Tevis Cup ride using Renegade® strap-on hoof boots.
Congratulations again to Linda and Leaf on a job well done!
