Advanced Easyboot User Tips 2007 Hoof Boot Contest We held a contest last month to name a new boot that EasyCare will be introducing to the public in 2007. We received more than 900 name suggestions! The name chosen is "Easyboot Grip". The winner of the contest is Helen Elsner. Helen will receive a $100 gift certificate from EasyCare and four of the new Easyboot Grip boots!   There is a link to an article by Neel Glass, the inventor of Easyboots, in this newsletter. I hope you will take the time to read it, realizing that it was written thirty (yes, 30!) years ago. It could have been written last week.   Our next contest will be for an entry to the upcoming Pete Ramey Clinic (the first three days, a $350.00 value) Click here to learn how to enter. EasyCare will be hosting this Pete Ramey clinic on, January 20-24, 2007, in Tucson, Arizona. Pete Ramey and Dr. Bowker, VMD, PhD will each do two days, with EasyCare using 1/2 a day to cover boot fitting. This will be an exciting event that you won't want to miss. Is Shoeing a Necessary Evil? by: Neel W. Glass, Ph.D.     Horses have been shod by nailing on iron shoes for over a thousand years.

Easyboot Bares We absolutely LOVE the new Easyboot Bares   We have a mixed integrated veterinary practice in Alpine, CA. We absolutely LOVE the new Easyboot Bares. What incredible support for the foot [both medial and lateral].   We have never seen a boot that could or did withstand the total abuse... that we put them through. We honestly set out to try to destroy the boots on really rough, rocky, and "untrailed" terrain.   learn more...
