Renegades...
Once you work out how to fit the Renegades (it's simple once you know how) they're pretty easy to put on and seem to fit well. Their potential for rubbing is minimal since they have zero material around the heel region which is a major plus and providing you get the right size they seem to stay put once on. The only thing i would say i don't like about the Renegades is the material used to make them. Unlike the easy care range Renegades are made out of a hard plastic which does not provide quite as much shock absorption as the rubber used to make the easy cares. However, that said this material means they are lighter than the easy cares which is a plus point.
The only other niggle i have about the Renegades is that plastic surrounding the front of the hoof wall is quite thick which may cause your horse to over reach which isn't ideal but having only walked Spice in the boots for a few minutes i am yet to see whether or not this will be a problem.
The thing i love most about the Renegades is how the design really takes into account the mechanics of the hoof, the fastening feature around the front of the hoof allows the hoof to flex in all directions and the gap around the heel region allows the heel to act just as it would barefoot. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design of the Rengades and i have to admit i love the colour ranges although i was a tad dissappointed to see they didn't do them in pink!
