EasyCare Hits the Road – Trade Shows & Rides

EasyCare — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:40:08 +0000

EasyCare dealer Trelawne Equine at the BETA Tradeshow - February 2010

The first quarter of the year is always a busy one for EasyCare and 2010 has been no different. This is the time the time when we head to the equine trade shows to represent natural hoof care and hoof boots in the equine industry. We’ve been hitting the road pretty hard the past couple of months! We attended AERC in Reno, BETA in the UK, Wheatbelt in Kansas, and we’re all set for the Equine Affaire show in Ohio in April.

We’re also following up on last year’s incredible endurance race success by attending and riding in as many endurance races as possible. That way we can be there in person to provide support to Easyboot users and to show that we stand behind our by using them on our own horses. The future is bright for natural hoof care and hoof boots!
