March, 2011

Dear EasyCare Customer,

EasyCare Article Image

Spring is definitely in the air on this side of the hemisphere.

So although you may not be Skijorking in your Gloves the way Monika Abstreiter is in this photo, you are no doubt getting some hours with you favorite equine friend.

Februrary was short in days, but not in activity. Garrett Ford and Brian Mueller both spent time at various corners of the globe, including participation at the Functional Hoof Conference in Australia and a whistle-stop tour across Europe to meet with some of our international dealers, ending with participation at the annual BETA trade show in Birmingham, England. Brian says it was the best yet.

March should be more of the same, starting with a few good days at the annual American Endurance Ride Conference, then Garrett and Debbie Schwiebert will participate at the American Hoof Association conference at the University of Auburn in Alabama.

We're putting together our event calendar for 2011, so if there is an event you would like us to consider attending, let us know now so we can consider it.

When Eric Knapp gets a new client, he starts by evaluating the needs of horse and rider alike. He enjoys passing on knowledge and ideas to help the horse. He assesses environment, diet, hooves and physical needs. Eric believes the hoof care industry is in great flux and that as boot technology evolves, therapy horses, pleasure horses and working horses are all able to live their lives more comfortably without shoes.

Customer Photo of the Month: Kat Smith & Jasmine

EasyCare Article Image

Kat Smith has had her horses barefoot for more thatn two years now. Her previous mare, Jasmine, was able to ride on short rides without her boots. But on cavalcades she used Epics. "They worked well for the first day," says Kat. "They held on through mud and bog and the conversations with the other riders often started with comments about the boots and why I had them on instead of metal shoes on the eight hour ride over Otapiri Gorge.
