EB’s don’t encapsulate the fetlock. They do completely cover
the heel, though.

Ranelle, I'm not Karen, but maybe I can tell you a bit about
the Renegades.
They are made to where you can easily change out the
liner of the heel capivator. It is made with an extremely soft and smooth
neoprene, that allows dirt and sand to fall right thru. The heel captivator is
made of a very durable rubber, and so far, I haven't had any problems with mine
tearing or rubbing. And the captivator isn't a strap, but a thick rubber
webbing, so to speak.
The difference I can see, having used both the Epics and the
Renegades is in the gaitor of the Epic. You have to be very careful putting it
on, as it will tear if you tug on it trying to get the boot on. With the
Renegade, there isn't a gaitor, everything opens up for easy placement and
removal. The EB gaitor completely encapsulates the heel and fetlock, the
Rengade doesn't.
If you have a horse, as I did, that is very sensitive to
things around his pasterns and fetlocks, the Renegade may be just the
answer....
There are many differences in the boots, but that was what you asked about, so
what I am addressing.
I, personally, could not get the Epic to work for my horse,
but, obviously, a lot of people have been able to. It mainly depends on you and
your horse...
