The Distance Depot

Freeman, MO

EasyCare's Dealer of the Month for FEbruary, 2009 - thedistancedepot.com

Kristen Lacy, owner of The Distance Depot, is an Easyboot user from way back and has a long history with horses. She has trained and crewed for Valerie Kanavy (World Champion Endurance Rider) and Steve Rojek (endurance rider and owner of Slypner Gear) and flew with the USA Endurance Team Horses to Dubai & France as a groom for the United States Equestrian Team. She also spent many years as a young girl on the A show circuit riding a wide variety of breeds from Arabians to Quarter Horses. In addition to her show ring activities she has competed extensively in both competitive trail and endurance.

Kristen’s enthusiasm for long-distance riding comes through in the way that she treats her customers. After running her business all week and personally making each custom made beta/biothane tack order, she attends one ride a month with their mobile tack shop. She says she loves chatting with old friends and new competitors. Her business is based in Freeman, Missouri but she travels as far west as Reno and as far south as Florida to sell her products. Her husband, Kent, (who also has a full-time job) is very instrumental in the business & happily travels with her and helps her with all that is involved in hauling, setting up, and tearing down her mobile unit.

Since buying the company in 2006, The Distance Depot has also become the Main Wholesale Distributor of V-Max Equine Heart Rate Monitors, handling Dealer orders from all over the world, as well as retail sales. Processing orders to customers quickly is her top priority. The Distance Depot will be carrying EasyCare’s new line of boots!
