3 Renegade Hoof Boots For Your Horse
Renegade hoof boots are made for barefoot horses who need protection during trail rides or in competition. There are 3 styles to choose from, but they’re all made in the USA, and have proven themselves in competition time and time again.
Renegade’s are high-performance solutions for your horse. They've been proven effective, with Halim al Mokhtar winning the prestigious American Endurance Ride Jim Jones Stallion Award on a 1,120 miles track in 2005 using the Renegade Hoof Boot.
Renegade is the official hoof boot of the Tevis Cup, a 100-mile endurance race through the rugged Western US landscape.
The Renegade Classic is the Original and a more natural alternative, the Renegade Viper is geared for rugged trails, and the Pro Comp Glue-on is made for protecting barefoot horses.
Renegade Classic Hoof Boots - Best For Horses Who Need A Natural Alternative
If you need a more natural solution to iron horse shoes, then the Classic style might be your best bet. They help maintain your horse’s natural heel height—often considered low compared to modern hoof care practices. They’re comfortable and well tolerated by your horse.
ProTip: If you find that the cables are fraying over time, these can be replaced individually, without having to return the entire boot
Why They Can Help
More Natural - Classic Renegade’s give you a safer, more natural, and comfortable experience than other hoof boots
Comfortable - These hoof boots are designed with a competition-tested pivoting heel captivator, cabling system, and velcro straps to reduce rubbing and chafing and make your horse comfortable
Prevents tripping - A unique toe configuration is designed to prevent your horse from tripping
Renegade Viper - Best For Horses Who Trail Ride
These are the next generation of Renegade boots. They added deeper grooves to help your horse get a grip on rugged terrain.
ProTip: When you install Vipers, slide them on a clean hoof until the groove aligns with the screw and leave a two-finger gap
Why They Can Help
Deep Grooves - Renegade Viper’s have deep grooves to help your horse get a grip, even in muddy, rocky, or challenging terrain
Last For Years - They’re made of ultra-durable polyurethane and will withstand the wear and tear of rugged terrains over time
If your horse is on the trail, you need a hoof boot that gives them an edge. Renegade Viper’s improve their grip even on the toughest terrain and won’t break or fall apart for many years. You really can’t go wrong.
Renegade Pro Competition Glue-on - Best For Barefoot Horses
If you have a barefoot horse, you want something that is as close to natural as possible, but will still protect their feet when you’re on the trail or in competition. Renegade’s Glue-on boots might be a good solution.
ProTip: You have 30 days to decide if you want to keep Renegade hoof boots. If you decide to return them, make sure to wash them off and you won’t be charged a $5 washing fee
Why They Can Help
Protection - Your horse will be protected from rocks and debris
Firm Grip - Pro Comp Glue-Ons are made with the same tread as Renegade Classics, giving your horse a firm grip over rough and muddy landscapes
Giving your barefoot horse the best means helping their hooves can withstand the rigors of the trail or competition. Renegade's Glue-on boots help you hit those trails or compete with confidence, knowing your horse's feet are protected by the very best.
