From long-time boot user Cindy Bradley:
The last endurance ride I attended for the 2009 season seemed doomed when my horse Bo Tucker cut himself running in a turn out before the second day. The cut was on his left heel bulb at the hair line and was quite deep. He had just under 1000 miles for the season and I really wanted to make the 1000 mark on him.
I consulted with Kirt Lander, Renegade® founder, who had been conducting a barefoot clinic at the ride and we decided to boot Bo in strap-on Renegades for the second day since he was not showing any signs of discomfort from the injury.
The 50 miles consisted of deep sand and rock. To my surprise, when I pulled his left front boot after the ride, the cut was almost healed! The wound had sealed and there was only a thin line marking the area where the cut had been, completely free of any sand.
I have ridden for three ride seasons with Renegade® strap-on boots and have always been pleased with their great fit. Now I also know the heel captivator can work as a bandage.
Thank you Kirt and Gina for such a great boot!
Cindy Bradley
