[RC] First time ride in Renegades! - KarenC

Hey it was nice getting to visit with you guys! Congratulations on completing both days of the ride. I knew Saturday was going to be hard but was surprised that Sunday was even more challenging. Good job getting through both days with the same horses.

I had a blast both days :) I did a little writeup about it and have a photo album of photos from the ride: http://enduranceridestuff.com/blog/2009/04/nevada-derby-ride-report/ NASTR did a fantastic job on the ride! It's a good thing more rides don't do such a great job feeding us or we'd all be moving up in our weight divisions!

Bo and Chief also did really well in their Renegades - they were using the regular strap-ons and they were flawless both days for both horses. I am so happy with how well they work, easy to put on and off and no rubs! I was surprised to see so many riders using them at this ride, I think it's getting out there that they are working as well as they are for both the fast and slow riders. :)

My husband Lee and I made the switch from shoeing our horses to going
barefoot, and competed for the first time with Renegade glue-ons at last
weekend's two-day Nevada Derby.  I must admit I was very nervous about
"fixing something that wasn't broke" -- since our horses had been doing
extremely well being shod by Lee.  However, now that they are barefoot,
their feet have never looked better!  They are moving down the trail better
than ever, and a bonus is we don't need our splint boots anymore, since they
are not interfering with the glue-ons or strap-on boots.  There were lots of
horses competing in Renegades at the ride (including Karen Chaton)  -- it's
easy to pick them out since they are so brightly colored!
