RE: [RC] renegade hoof boots - Chastain, Shannon L.
I totally agree with this
I was one of the ones that struggled with getting them on, then my trimmer
showed me how to put them on "right" and my 10 year old grandson can put his
mares on. These are Bares with the buckle. My trimmer has seen the Renegades and
was not overly impressed with them he says they only come in a few sizes either
0 and 1 or 1 and 2.

Amy, I don't think the epics are hard to
get on at all. Not even a little hard. I have a pair of epics with the
clip UP position, and a pair of bares. The bares are not hard to get on,
but were a bit harder to get off...found a solution to it though...I like
the bares because there is no clip to contend with. Nothing to break. The
rub can be fixed by cutting the back strap almost all the way
down. It is worth the trial and error period you go through in the
beginning. Not all horses need the strap cut...so try it first to see...It
is well worth it. Ive heard the renegades fall off all the time...and
don't last .......don't know for sure though because I havnt been able to
get them. I am a bare trimmer. The Renegades are VERY
expensive.
How can we get these Renegade boots though? I have been
reluctant to buy Epics because of all the posts here and on other sites
about how they rub and how hard they are to get on. I understand the
Bares are even harder to get on.
I have a natural barefoot trimmer doing my guy now (thanks to a kind
friend's referral) and he is doing great but I would like to have
something in case we run into rougher terrain. Can my trimmer
contact Renegade and can we get them through that route?
They sound like a wonderful product and obviously from the info on
the website many long distance riders are having great luck with
them.
