We have a lot to tell you about this month. Exciting things are happening behind the scenes at EasyCare! We recently arranged to donate eight $1,000.00 scholarships to the Equine Sciences Academy. Continue reading below to learn more. Check our EasyCare Video Blog to see some of the entries for the EasyCare Summer Video Contest. To learn more about the contest and how to submit your own video, click here.

We are also developing a new hoof boot design. The new design is based upon several outstanding design features from our other hoof boots. We are really looking forward to launching this new boot design in 2008. In the meantime, we need to come up with a name for this new hoof boot. Continue reading below to learn more.

We have also recently received a "Notice of Allowance" for one of our patent applications. This is an important patent and will help EasyCare protect our product range. Great News!

A Day in the Life of Horse Rescue

Easyboot Bare Testimonial

This won the July testimonial of the month contest! Click here to find out how you can enter for your chance to win a pair of Easyboot Epics.

They ride on wings of eagles, flying proud on that breathtaking Arabian mare. It was a great life lesson to the kids and adults alike that would have given up. It took a year but she is healed and in full service. Thank you for the continued advancements in these products. I solidly endorse this product as does Foxy.

Freedom For the Feet: Stepping Out of Steel Shoes in Style

by Tomas G. Teskey D.V.M.

We are intertwined, heart, mind and soul with these animals. They perform for us with a work ethic rarely seen in human circles, and become capable of so much more when we allow their feet to function properly.

Tough Transitions

EasyCare Scholarships and the Equine Science Academy

Interested in a career in natural hoof care?

EasyCare, Inc. and the Equine Sciences Academy are pleased to announce that EasyCare will be offering a total of eight first-term scholarships in the amount of $1,000 to the Equine Sciences Academy. Four scholarships will be awarded to the Fall 2007 class, and four to the Spring 2008 class.

Help Us Name Our Next New Boot!

Submit your name ideas to us for the new boot currently in development at EasyCare. There is no limit to the number of suggestions per person. The first person to submit the name that we choose will win a year supply for one horse of the new boots.

The new boot that we are currently testing and refining is a lower profile version of the Easyboot Epic. The totally new design will feature a lower fitting shell, a new fastening system and a low profile flexible gaiter that will conform to the heel area.

Five Tips For Easy Easyboot Bare Adjustments

from Karen's EasyCare and Endurance Musings Blog

You really don't need the strength of King Kong to adjust your Easyboot Bares to a tighter setting. Here are some tips that will make it a lot easier, in fact it'll be so easy you'll wonder why you were trying to do it the hard way! (if in fact, you were) ;) Below the tips is a short video that may also help you to visualize it.

1. Loosen the screw (the farthest forward one), without pulling it out of the gaiter
2. Keep the end of the screwdriver in the head of the screw
3. Move the end of the screw at an angle into the tighter hole on the bungee
4. Use the screw as a lever to pull everything together
5. Line everything up and tighten

EasyCare Event Schedule

Come and See Us!

EasyCare will be attending several events in the coming weeks--everything from trade shows to hoof care clinics to endurance rides. Please click the link below to learn more about each event. We hope to see you there!

We are continuing to include EasyCare hoof boots in our Hoof Boot Upgrade Program through at least the month of August. This program will probably not continue indefinitely so if you'd like to trade in an old style hoof boot for a new one, now is the time. If you turn in an EasyCare riding style hoof boot, it will have a second chance to help another horse in need - we are donating all of these boots to horse rescue and rehabilitation organizations.

Don't miss the opportunity to have a photo of your horse in the 2008 EasyCare Calendar! If you have a good quality photo of your horse using any of our products please submit them to us!

Remember to use our Dealer Search page if you need to find an EasyCare dealer near you. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your horse's hooves, give our hoof care practitioner database a try. Or if you have a good hoof care provider already, why not tell them that they can register in our database so that others needing their services can find them easily.
