Adventures in Easyfoam and Easyboot Bare Hoof Bootsby Carol Layton, Australia
Hello from Australia. I had a great ride on the weekend on Omani Mr Sqiggle trialling the Easyfoam with four Bares at a endurance ride held at Windeyer, near Mudgee in NSW. I needed to trial the foam for the Shahzada marathon in the last week of August and now I know this is the answer for us. I am totally delighted with the result, no need to be concerned about the possibility of rubbing from the gaiters. I mean I have been able to do 160km rides and 400km marathons with boots and not had any rubbing from gaiters but this foam means it doesn't need to be on my mind. I don't have to fiddle with Sportstape or vetwrap. It was easy to mix the glue together and put the boots on, we just removed the gaiters.
Click on the link below to learn more about using Easyfoam. It is a great product to use for endurance events, or for weekend or week long camping trips with your horse.

Old Mac's G2s To the RescueG2 Testimonial
After our phone conversation today, I wanted to send you a picture of my pony in his new Old Mac G-2's. Georgie Porgie is a 23 yo Welsh pony who foundered about 3months ago.
After the initial dramatic hoof trimming and bandaging, he was extremely tenderfooted and walked slowly and gingerly on his soles, head down, examining every potential bump in his path--not a happy camper. We got our new Old Mac G2 hoof boots with gaiters, and some frog support inserts, and within about 3 steps, Georgie realized that he could travel pretty much pain free. The head came up, ears were forward, and he walked off with a mission. He even pranced to the field. The boots went on easily, were true fit to the measuring guide, and have not chafed any areas on the foot, even with 14 hours a day wear.
I'm thankful for Easy Care for offering such a wonderful product that literally got my pony back on his feet and on the road to growing a new foot. The Hoof Boot Upgrade program is a great incentive that makes them very affordable. Your sales representatives were most helpful in helping me choose the right boot and their advice to use Gold Bond powder in the boot before wearing sure keeps the foot clean and dry.
I can highly recommend these boots based on the experience I have had and will spread the word...... Thanks again!

Eventing: The Barefoot, Booted & Bitless Wayby Rhonda Roberts
As we are preparing to enter our 2nd season of barefoot and booted eventing, I have reflected back on what it took to get us to this point, and wanted to share our journey. Many people are interested in having barefoot horses that can still be expected to perform at high levels. This interest is often squelched by the fear of having a lame horse, or not feeling confident enough to make the decision to go the barefoot route. I want to share with you the fears I had, as well as the baby steps I took, before making the decision to finally take the barefoot plunge with my competition horse. It is a commitment that cannot be taken lightly.
