Re: [RC] Renegade boot preliminary review - Laney HumphreyThe boots are in the same price range as easyboots for which the same trimming costs apply. I got around some of the costs by learning how to keep my horse's feet rasped. For me the comparison was with full shoeing. When my horse was shod his hooves were not in good shape and I needed to put full pads on all 4 feet for the rides I do. That was costing me $400 per shoeing. Given that there is a learning/fitting curve with hoofboots, I didn't expect to save a whole lot of money at the beginning but I can tell you that the biggest benefit has been what's happened to Dino's feet. There have never been in as good shape as they are now!Laney SandyDSA@xxxxxxx wrote: So I have a question - since these are so hard to actually buy, and I have been told that the price can vary from 120 to 180 (is this for a PAIR or a set of FOUR?), who gets them closer to that $120? Considering that the horses still need to be trimmed every few weeks on top of the cost of the boots, it gets quite expensive. If one puts 400 miles on a horse every two months, that adds up to about $80 a month assuming that they sell by the pair....wow. We have 4 working horses. So now is it worth it, in both hassle, availability, etc? Input please:).
