From Garrett's Desk | Do You Have an Idea?

A large majority of EasyCare’s hoof boot designs have come from listening to customer feedback. Others have been developed by boot users and then refined by EasyCare. These people now get a nice royalty payment for their idea. EasyCare is happy to have a better design, the person with the idea is happy with the royalty check and the fact that their idea was taken to market. Boot users around the world are also happy with a new and improved hoof boot or natural hoof care design.

Summer is the time to get out and ride and enjoy your favorite trails with your equine partner. It’s also the time when the majority of research and development is done for EasyCare and our hoof boot product line. It’s the time to really test new concepts and see if they should be added to the product line.

If you have an idea for a product or a way to improve an existing EasyCare product, we would love to hear from you. If your concept is not something we are already working on and we use your idea to make a new product or improve an existing product, we will set up and agreement to compensate you for the idea.

Here is what you need to do.
1. Let EasyCare know you have an idea or concept that relates to hoof boots or natural hoof care.
2. EasyCare will sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure document to learn more about your concept.
3. If the concept is not something we are already working on and EasyCare is interested in moving forward with your idea we can discuss a compensation package for your idea. It could be a royalty payment if the product goes to market or it could be a straight purchase of the idea.

We continue to hear from boot users who tinker with boot designs to make them better. If you have a design or an idea we would love to hear from you. Boots are getting better and better and with your help we can speed the evolution.

Happy riding and happy tinkering. Have a wonderful summer.
