Happy Holidays from everyone at EasyCare! Whether you're traveling to visit loved ones or staying at home by the fire, we wish you and yours a relaxing and safe time as the holiday season gets into full swing. The beginning of another great new year is just around the corner, and once again it brings exciting changes to EasyCare.

Read on for exciting new things coming your way!

New Blog Platform

EasyCare is happy to announce a new blog platform that combines “From the Horse’s Mouth,” “Hoof Boot News” and “EasyCare Customer Help Desk” blogs. The old blogs will be phased out and the all new EasyCare blog content will be found at one convenient location. Bookmark the new web address and come back often.

The new platform also allows horse boot users to submit hoof boot success stories at www.DoYouBoot.com. These success stories will post directly to the new EasyCare Blog.

We are also looking for “Guest Blog Posters” to contribute stories and blurbs that are relevant and interesting to people in the natural hoof care world. Guest authors will be compensated with schwag and eligible for EasyCare Ambassador pricing.

Check out the new EasyCare Blog and sign up for the new RSS Feed.

New Equine Podiotherapy Course Down Under

The Search for more Barefoot Trimmers and Natural Hoofcare Practitioners continues...

EasyCare receives hundreds of e-mails and calls every month from horse owners that are looking for barefoot trimmers or natural hoof care practitioners in their area. These horse owners have read about natural hoof care and are now ready to give it a try.

The problem comes when they can't find a trimmer in their area or all the trimmers in their area are booked solid. The current number of trimmers can't keep up with the demand of consumers who would like to have one or more of their horses trimmed in a barefoot style.

We continue to hear great things about a professional trimming course offered in Australia, and wonder what we can do to get them to host a class here in the States.

PETE RAMEY IS AT IT AGAIN!

Pete and Ivy Ramey played an instrumental role in the development of the Easyboot Glove and are now utilizing this economical hoof boot to help save horses.
Pete Ramey is at it again!

That’s My Horse #2 DVD Set is now available. Watch as Pete takes you through the management of the navicular horse. This video will take you through a series of steps including the fitting of both Easyboot Epics with Comfort Pads and Easyboot Gloves.

Pete's previous DVD release, the Under the Horse Series, is considered a prequel to the That’s My Horse series. Watch them both and you'll learn more than you ever imagined about natural hoof care!

NEW FOR 2010!

A new year and product updates go hand in hand. EasyCare has made some modifications and additions to the product line.

For 2010, every Easyboot Glove hoof boot will ship with a Power Strap preinstalled. All of our gaiters will be updated with a new technical neoprene and a cutting edge two layer pattern that contours to the horses lower leg. We're also delighted to announce that we will once again be offering the Hi Tie trailer tie system, a fantastic product for keeping your horse safe and secure around your trailer.

These products will be available in the early part of 2010!

Dealer of the Month

Jerry Huntsinger | Owner - JC Farrier Service | Battle Ground, Washington

Jerry has been trimming for nearly 14 years. “My grandfather got me started. He did his own farrier work and I was always in the way, so he put me to work!”

Huntsinger initially started out as a traditional farrier. It was only a matter of time before he began researching better methods. “I knew there was something better; I just wasn’t sure how to get there,” says Jerry. He was already familiar with EasyCare and the product line. He began to read about Pete Ramey’s success, and the rest, Jerry says, is history.

November 2009 :: Hoof Boot Success Continues

EasyCare — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:32:20 +0000

Winter is knocking at our door, but that's no reason to stop riding! With proper preparation and equipment, winter riding is possible and can even be quite enjoyable. The crisp air, the still silence of freshly fallen snow, and the smell of woodsmoke are all special treats of the season. Read on for some great tips on preparing yourself and your hoses for an enjoyable winter.month, so be sure and read up!

Winter Maintenance

by: Leslie Carrig of High Desert Hoof Care

With the arrival of winter, it’s time to think about your horse’s hooves. If your horse is shod, most Farriers will tell you it’s a good idea to pull the shoes for the winter and give those hooves a healing period. If you live in a snowy climate and you choose to keep your horse shod, you will probably need snow pads to avoid the hooves balling up with snow and borium for traction on the ice. Many people choose to just pull the shoes and take a break from riding.

The benefits of pulling the shoes go way beyond avoiding a slip in the snow. With the shoes off, your horse can attain the full expansion of the hoof, helping to de-contract the heels and return circulation to it’s fullest. With the return of full circulation a much healthier hoof wall can be attained. This will speed up progress on growing out cracks and flares. The horse will also be wearing its hooves in between trimmings, instead of getting longer and longer. This will enable your farrier to make more progress at getting those toes back or those heels down. The horses I see that are shod back to back, year afover emphasize the value of that experience and how much it enhances the ability of the barefoot farrier to see your horses problems coming long before they become a lame, and the practical advice that he or she can give you on avoiding these problems altogether is invaluable.

Hoof Boot Success Continues at Moab Canyons

2009 continues to be a huge year for EasyCare hoof boot success at endurance rides. Our hoof boots prove themselves ride after ride, showing the equine world that the movement towards natural hoof care and hoof boots is no fad. It is a fast growing trend that is here to stay, simply because in the end it means a healthier horse.

There is no arguing with the results we're seeing with horses wearing our boots at endurance races. At the Moab Canyons Endurance Ride over the past weekend, horses wearing Easyboots dominated the event, finishing in first place all 3 days and receiving best condition awards 2 of the 3 days.
