Choosing the Perfect Boot Pin Down Your Choices Easily
This section gives you the top picks/top sellers for each category of boot, tells you which hoof shape fits into which style, rates the boots according to how easy they are to get on/off, and tells you about the amount of traction each boot has. In addition, it will tell you what types of feet do NOT do well in hoof boots and how you might be able to help remedy the problem.
Most important to any style you are looking into is fit. You'll want to read "Fit is Everything." Of course, we are always happy to talk to you about your options.

Running Creek Mini Horse TackEasyCare's Dealer of the Month
Congratulations to our dealer of the month, Running Creek Mini Horses Tack of Elizabeth Colorado! Running Creek has been in business for 16 years, carrying EasyCare products for the past 2 years. In addition, they have been breeding and showing quality miniature horses for the last 23 years. They specialize in appaloosa and overo colored horses that are show, bred or just kept as loveable pets. Running Creek's business sales grew by leaps and bounds this past year. They attribute their growth to the web. Linda Williams, owner, says, "we have been selling boots over the internet like mad!" They also set up a booth at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado every year. Their booth has grown to carry everything from miniature tack and boots to some big horse tack items like the Easyboot Epic and Boa boots as well as gift items. They also hit the road with a mobile trailer, going to shows year round. They are quite the busy bunch!
"The hoof boot industry is growing rapidly," says Linda, "with more and more people taking an interest in trail riding and other horse activities." Clearly this interest really does help contribute to their success.
Running Creek has quite the collection of equines on their farm. Linda says they have about 40 miniature horses, 2 full size horses and three zebras! Zephyr Express, a 3-year-old zebra stallion, recently joined the 2 zebra mares that already reside there. If you're in the Denver area be sure to look them up and visit their ranch. Or you can always keep an eye out for them at a show. Be sure to check out the adorable photos on their Running Creek Minis website or you can give them a call at 303-648-3181.

Easyboot Glove Test ReportJumping Results from Happy Customer Angela Guy
I can truthfully say that I felt no difference whatsoever in how General moved or jumped. He felt safe and comfortable, as always. My instructor noticed no difference in how Gen was moving, either on the flat or over the jumps. They seemed to not hold any water after the water jumps (important to us eventers!).
