RENEGADES, 0s & 1s, + 'Wide/Low Profile' Heel CaptivatorI have the following two sets of boots for sale, plus an additional pair of heel captivators:1 x pair Black Renegade Hoof Boots, size 0. Lightly used and in great condition. 1 x pair Black Renegade Hoof Boots, size 1. Lightly used and in great condition. Both of the above pairs of hoof boots come with the following: 2 x spare tension straps 6 x spare ‘O’ rings 1 x L Hex wrench for cable adjustment I have slightly trimmed the straps on all boots as they were WAY too long! In the unlikely event that they are too short, each pair comes with 2 spare new straps anyway, so this should not be a problem. If further straps are needed, they are easily obtained from Kirt Lander via the Renegades website. www.renegadehoofboots.com In addition I also have for sale: 1 x set of ‘wide/low profile’ heel captivators, in black. (Note: this is just the plastic shell, not the padding as well. The padding from the standard sized captivators fits these lower profile ones too, and snaps into the shells easily). These can be helpful in cases where your horse is experiencing rubbing at the back of the pasterns, due to greater flexion of the pastern joint. These come with: 1 x additional spare cable 4 x spare pulley buttons. I paid 218 pounds + 40 pounds import tax (VAT) = total of 258 pounds. Will sell boots for 85 pounds + 8.50 P&P per pair. Will sell pair of spare wide/low profile heel captivators for 10 pounds + 2.50 P&P (or free P&P if bought with a set of boots). Please email at melanie@b-apple.co.uk. Can take photos and email if required. Many thanks, Melanie Bailey. |

Hi Mel
Really interested in the Renegades but not sure which size to go for. My mare was in Size 1 Bares last winter (W = 4 9/16" - 4 7/8" L = 4 15/16 - 5 1/8") I've looked on the Renegade site for their sizings but they don't seem to equate to the Bares (or I'm just too dumb to work it out, which is more likely  )
Which size do you suggest? I can't measure her feet at the minute as she's still got shoes on 
Thanks, Lucy PS I'll be at the Conference in Leeds, if you're going as well maybe I can pick them up then? |

Hi Lucy,
I think that, if I were in your position, I would have the shoes taken off, have her trimmed, and then measure her feet. It would be a rather expensive mistake to make if they turned out to be the wrong size! And her feet could easily have changed shape from the last time she was barefoot. I found the sizes on the Renegades site to be accurate, so you really need to be measuring a bare hoof against those sizes to work out which size bracket your horse falls into. The link for anyone who is interested is: http://www.renegadehoofboots.com/sizing.html Sorry I haven't answered your question directly, but that's the best advice I feel I can give! Best wishes, Melanie. |

Thanks Melanie
Appreciate the honesty
You're probably right about waiting until the shoes come off and then measuring her properly. Thanks for the advice, Lucy |
