We hope you are enjoying beautiful fall weather where you are!
In most parts of the country this is a great time to ride. It is also the time that we start thinking about the transition to winter. EasyCare boots make it possible for you to ride year round. For those muddy and snowy days the Easyboot Grip fits the bill, and studs are available for those who encounter icy footing.
If you have friends who are thinking about pulling shoes for the winter this is a great time to introduce them to hoof boots!
The very best hoof care can only go so far. We must properly feed our hooves if we want the best out of the horse and we must properly feed our horse if we want the best out of our hooves. Over the years I noticed that no trim mechanics could grow healthy walls, laminae, soles or frogs on some horses. This led me to Katy Watts www.safergrass.org and her studies on varying sugar levels in grasses and hay. When I realized that constant carbohydrate overload was destroying the hooves of so many horses, I became a "sugar freak"; an expert at finding the 'hidden' sugars in horses' diets and convincing horse owners to take the necessary steps to eliminate them. My trimming changed very little, but the results I was getting improved dramatically when I started to pay more critical attention to the diet.

We will be displaying products at two trade shows in the next few months: Equine Affaire in Mass.
