Renegade Hoof Boot

The Renegade Hoof Boot is one of the newest designs currently on the market (2008) and comes in a wide variety of colors.

The manufacturer states that "the Renegade® Hoof Boot is the most thoroughly developed and most highly tested new hoof boot design ever... and all before going to the open market".

I have not yet tried them but I love the look of the boots and think they will provide a great talking point for getting bare feet noticed!

The design highly respects the soft tissue of the hoof capsule and lower leg and does not obstruct the movement of the pastern bones.

Sizing

In nearly all cases, boot width will be the dominate measurement for determining boot size.

In the case of a hoof fitting the width of the boot but the length of the boot is more than needed, the manufacturer will trim down the back of the boot by up to 3/8"(10mm) at no charge.

Also consider the height of the heels for the horse in question. The boot was designed primarily for low heels and short toes but will also work for medium height heels. Horses with high heels my have problems using the boot and in most cases will also need over length cables. For these horses it is suggested that the high heels be addressed through natural hoof care methods as a precursor to fitting the boots.

Fitting

Please review the adjusting and installing pages of the manufacturer's website to be sure you are comfortable with cable adjustment and boot installation procedures.
