During the month of March, we are expanding the Hoofboot Upgrade Program to allow EasyCare riding boots. Spring and riding weather is coming, don’t wait to get your horse in the perfect boots! This special is for newsletter subscribers only, so be sure to mention that if you wish to trade one model of EasyCare boot for another. All the rules of the regular Hoofboot Upgrade program apply: 1) Exchange limit of 2 boots per customer. 2) Exchange boots need to be riding boots (versus soaking or medicating) 3) Each exchange boot will qualify toward 50% off any current EasyCare hoof boot design. 4) Exchange boots will receive credit toward EasyCare Hoof Boot purchases only. 5) Exchange form must accompany exchange boots.
The 2007 EasyCare Hoof Boot Contest is thriving! We have more than 85 riders entered in the competition. Click here to see the list of entries and results so far. We had 14 riders who are in the contest riding at the Eastern Mojave Ride.
Stay tuned for more information on our Custom Boot Program! Customers will be able to order customized boots to fit the needs of their horses. After each Custom Easyboot is manufactured, it will be shipped directly to the customer via Federal Express right from the factory. |

Easyboot Bare TestimonialStory about a successful barefoot transition
Kami may not have made such a quick and amazing transition if it had not been for the Easyboot Bares. Though she could be tender walking around barefoot, with the boots on we could go for a seven hour trail ride in our Rocky Mountains and she would never take a bad step. (And we do not trail ride slowly either - we are galloping up those mountains and jumping logs, brush, and other "obstructions" whenever we see them.) I have been so impressed with the boots - they have been tough and we have been tough on them!
It has been more than a year of going barefoot. I have to say that Kami's feet have never looked better, she has never been sounder, and neither of us have ever been happier. What a wonderful journey this has been. Thank you EasyCare for making it possible.

Tough Transitionsby Linda Cowles
The most predictable question I'm asked by owners of horses with pathological lameness is "Will my horse ever have healthy feet? How long will it take?"
Removing the shoes from an unsound to marginally sound horse doesn't miraculously cure the effects of years of imbalance or poor shoeing. Unfortunately the answer to "how long?? " depends on the horses history, condition, living environment, feeding and exercise programs, and the owners commitment.

The Bare Factsby L.A. Pomeroy
Nearly 2,000 years ago, a cruelly simple war device — the caltrop, or horse crippler — stopped drivers and riders in their tracks and forced them to address protecting one of their most critical assets: their horses’ hooves.
Caltrops, designed brutally similar to “jacks” of the children’s game, consist of three or four approximately four-inch tall spikes that, no matter how thrown, maintain one spike in a vertical position, ready to cripple a horse when stepped upon. Used as early as 4th-century-b.c. Rome, caltrops were mentioned by Vegetius in his De Re Militari: “The armed chariots used in war by Antiochus at first terrified the Romans, but they afterwards made a jest of them…
