One of my Equine Podiatry specialist friends turned me on to the new Renegade Hoof Boots, in particular their Ice Boot which has studs for traction. I have had a tough time keeping Easyboots on, even the Bares and Epics, at a gallop, which we require while Skijoring. This past weekend, we had the opportunity to test them out at a race. They were fabulous. Manny was faster than he has been all season, the boots stayed on, did not accumulate snow or debris and did not rub or irritate his feet in any way. He wore them for about 7 hours and we had no traction issues at all. Love them and endorse the product completely. More info at http://www.renegadehoofboots.com/ .
