EASYFOAM FOR THE LONG HAUL

If you are planning a long trip and you want to make sure your Easyboots are secure, you may want to consider our Easyfoam.  When mixed and poured into an Easyboot, this 2-part adhesive foam expands to make a flexible liner with an exact fit.  It seals out all dirt and debris, cushions and protects the hoof and acts as an adhesive.  We recommend Easyfoam for riding in extreme conditions such as competitive long distance events, deep mud or rocky terrain.  Easyfoam is not waterproof, and should not be used in conjunction with the Easyboot Gaiter , as it will adhere to the gaiter fabric. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully (What you Need to Know Before Using Easyfoam).  The kit comes complete with instructions and some helpful tips. Easyfoam is a great solution, but don't use it if you plan to keep the boots on for only a couple of hours.  We suggest it be used for no less than 8 hours or 50 miles.  Happy Trails!

Quote for the Day!

Look back on our struggle for freedom,

And you'll find that man's pathway to glory
Is strewn with the bones of a horse.

Why Go Barefoot?

BETTER OFF BAREFOOT

The Natural Hoof Care Advantage

by Dr. Tomas G. Teskey D.V.M.

Arizona, U.S.A.

Ask your veterinarian, farrier or trainer about hoof care and the majority will freely admit that all equines are most healthy if they can be kept without steel shoes.  Some believe, however, that shoeing is a necessary evil, evidently important for today’s working horses, mules and donkeys.

Veterinary medicine has its roots in blacksmithing, branching directly from the iron-working profession.  The two developed into their own specialties, but the hooves continued to be the “territory” of the iron men.  With the ever-increasing knowledge of the hoof, farriery and veterinary medicine struggle for understanding and reason after a thousand years of tradition.  As time marches on, a new paradigm for hoof care that does no harm is replacing methods that misunderstand the hoof.

Given the latest exciting hoof research, the finest in hoof care today is focusing on maintaining normal hoof form and function to achieve optimum health:

1. ensuring the hoof can flex in all directions to handle the terrain
2. promoting fluid movement and circulation
3. protecting sensitive structures inside the feet and legs
4. wearing evenly through movement and growing in evenly and strong
5. helping engage and sense the environment

Hooves can’t wear themselves when shod — without a little bit of normal wear, they become deformed and infected with fungus and bacteria.  Exfoliation keeps hooves healthy and free from infection and stimulates strong, new growth.

Shoes prevent the horse from sensing the earth and their own hooves — stumbling, loss of traction and increased injuries result when shod.  The loss of a shoe and the lameness that follows demonstrates the underlying unsoundness of the shod horse.  If shod horses suffer no ill effects from their shoes, as many professionals contend, why are they so lame within minutes when walking a short distance without them?  Soundness in horses has come to mean moving with animation and impulsion on unfettered feet.  These horses appreciate normal sensation and feel comfortable around us, place their feet accurately, with superior soundness and traction, keeping themselves and their riders safer.  When in need of protection on rough terrain or during rehabilitation, flexible, removable boots that complement hoof form and function are most appropriate, providing superior protection and doing no harm to the horse.

Just as it was a change in horsemanship practices that allowed horses’ health to deteriorate, so a change in horsemanship is required for them to regain their vitality… achieving peak performance takes more than just trimming hooves a certain way.  Proper nutrition and lifestyle are critical for success.

Natural horsemanship practices today go hand in hand with natural hoof care — together they are unbeatable!  These horses and their astute caregivers are leading the way in all parts of the equine industry, demonstrating the efficiency of the natural hoof care paradigm which raises horses with superior hooves and prevents all common hoof diseases.  These are the priceless advantages that are bringing horses and their owners greater enjoyment all over the world.

More valuable and exciting information is available on www.easycareinc.com, www.equethy.com, www.hoofrehab.com, www.equinextion.com and in an upcoming book by Dr. Teskey which explores the details required for achieving and maintaining a sound high-performance horse.

Horse Trailer and Horse Boot Prep for the Ride Season !

Tips for Trailer Preparation

It’s important for horse owners to maintain their trailers.  Spend some time doing preventive trailer maintenance, not only in case an emergency arises, but to ensure that their trailers will be in optimal shape for the upcoming riding season.

Some trailer maintenance tips  include:

1. Remove and inspect all wheels and hubs or brake drums.
2. Inspect suspension for wear.
3. Check tightness of hanger bolt, shackle bolt and U-bolt nuts per recommended torque values.
4. Check brake linings, brake drums and armature faces for excessive wear or scoring.
5. Check brake magnets with an ohmmeter. The magnets should check 3.2 ohms. If shorted or worn excessively, replace.
6. Lubricate all brake moving parts, using a high temperature brake lubricant.
7. Remove any rust from braking surface and armature surface of drums.
8. Inspect oil or grease seals for wear or nicks. Replace if necessary.
9. Inspect and grease wheel bearings.

Check all trailer tires, (including spares) for signs of dry rot, correct air pressure, faulty air valves, uneven tire wear, overall tire wear and damage. Invest in a high-quality air pressure gauge and inspect tire pressure before each trip.  Always replace tires if worn or damaged.  In addition, tires should be replaced every three to five years regardless of mileage.  When replacing tires, always replace the valve stems.  Recommendations are that only tires specifically designed and rated for trailers be used – never use automobile tires on a horse trailer.

It is also important to service the wheel bearings annually, or every 12,000 miles, regardless of mileage due to moisture build-up.  Be sure to inspect trailer wiring and lighting; inspect door latches and grease the doors; inspect the floor (be sure to remove any rubber mats so the entire floor can be examined); and inspect and lubricate mechanical moving parts, such as the hitch and suspension parts.  If the trailer has been sitting for a while, check for wasp nests, spider webs and any other creatures.  If you have a trailer brake system inside your truck, make sure it is operational and stopping the trailer properly.

Check the contents of your equine and human first aid kits.  Any depleted and out-of-date items should be replaced.  All  horse owners need to use ICE, which stands for In Case of Emergency.  This important initiative was designed to aid emergency responders in identifying victims and determining who needs to be notified.  Implementing ICE is easy.  Program your emergency contact information into your cellular phone and designate it with the acronym ICE.  Make certain that you have pertinent information in your vehicle about your horses, vet, etc. in case this info is needed in a time of vehicle accident or health emergency.  Once this task is complete, you can rest assured that your ride season will be off to a great start.

Now, while you are making sure the trailer has good tires... make sure your horse has boots that you have inspected for worn or broken parts.  Check them over and if repairs are needed, contact EasyCare for parts and service.  You can also replace with new boots if needed.

Happy Riding Season!!!!

Are You Ready for Spring?

Winter time is just about over and spring is coming.  Now don't laugh it is coming.  Here are just a few tips to get ready for spring and to make sure you and your horse are ready for the riding season to start. 

1. Schedule your veterinarian visit and review the immunization records.  Some conditions in your area may require a special vaccination.  For example, the West Nile vaccinations need to be completed well before the mosquitoes arrive.   Also check with your vet on any parasite issues you may want to avoid and start your de-worming regime.  Don't forget about having the teeth checked as well.  Those teeth will ensure that your horse is comfortable as well as receiving all of the benefits from his feed. 
2. Check your riding gear and equipment.  Is your tack including saddle blankets cleaned and repaired?  A broken bridle, stirrup leather or stirrup can really put a damper on your ride schedule if not found now.  Clean and condition the leather to keep it soft and supple.  Dry, cracked leather is not only uncomfortable for your horse but also dangerous.    Don't forget to also check your fly masks for rips and tears.  Having one little rip or tear would be the same as leaving your screens off the windows.
3. Check your grazing muzzle and make sure it is in working order.  Speaking of grazing, remember that spring grass contains a high percentage of moisture and very little fiber.  You may have to continue with hay until the grass is of good fiber content.  Some horses are sensitive to the sugars in rapidly growing grass and overgrazing can bring on laminitis.   Check with Dr. Teskey on any issues you are encountering or any questions you may want to ask. 
4. Check hooves and make sure they are in great condition.   Schedule a farrier visit for a good trim before riding.  What kind of terrain are you going to be in?  Will you need Easyboot Grips for the muddy conditions until summer arrives?  Comfort pads for your trail rides?  Talk with your farrier about any special hoof ailments that may require boots instead of shoes and which boot would best suite your horse's needs.  Need a new hoof care practitioner?  You can always search for a hoof care practitioner in your area at our website as well.
5. Last but not least--blanketing.  Watch your daytime temperatures and remove the blankets when early morning teens turn to miday 50's.  Blanketed horses who sweat can turn clammy and cool under the blanket once the temperature starts to drop again at night.  Sweat is a normal process produced to cool your horse and the blanket will only prevent the natural evaporative conditions.  Heat stress can develop on horses who become too hot and include dehydration.  Think of it as locking your dogs in a car during the summertime. 

What other helpful hints do you have for the spring season?

Tips for Horse Emergency Disasters

Here are some tips to help keep you and your horses safe and  prepared in case of an emergency.  Have a great riding season and stay safe!!!!

Emergency Preparedness

Being Prepared During Times of Disaster.  Important Tips for Horse Owners.

In the event of a disaster, you know how important it is for you as a horse owner to have pre-planned actions and proper information to make rapid decisions that may save your horse’s and even your own life.

ASSESS YOUR RISKS

What are the most likely disasters in your area (flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, nuclear accident, disease threat, chemical spill, ice storm, etc.)?

For each type disaster, check:

• What are your major vulnerabilities?
• What can you do to minimize the damage?
• What plans do you have in place?
• Who do you need to contact?

BEFORE THE EVENT

• Take a careful look at your property and identify the best place for your animals in each type of disaster you consider.
• Prepare for the possibility you might want to evacuate.

- Check with your local veterinarian, law enforcement, animal control or agricultural extension agent for routes and recommendations.

• Find several alternative locations and check the entry requirements for each.  Be sure to have agreements arranged for your animals in advance.
• Prepare an ID packet for each horse: age, sex, breed, color, registrations, unique ID’s, photos, microchip numbers, etc.
• Write down any special feeding instructions; list any medications with dosage; record the name and phone number of your prescribing veterinarian.
• Be sure all vaccinations and medical records are in writing and up to date.  Have current Coggins Test records.  Consult your veterinarian for other recommended immunizations or tests.
• Take records with you.  Records left at home may be damaged or destroyed during a disaster.
• Check for alternate water sources.  Have fresh water and hay available for 48-72 hours.
• Keep trailers and vans well maintained and full of fuel.
• Keep insurance coverage current and adequate.
• Consider an event where you might be unable to save/evacuate all your animals.  Make a priority list.  Familiarize family and farm personnel with the list in case you are not there when the disaster occurs.

Prepare an emergency kit for a minimum of 72-hour care:

• Plastic trash barrel with lid
• Tarpaulins
• Water buckets
• First aid items

- Betadine or Nolvasan solutions

- Antibiotic ointment

- Gauze squares and bandages

- Ichthammol ointment (feet)

- Tranquilizer injections (optional)

- Eye ointment

• Portable radio, flashlight and extra batteries
• Fire resistant, non-nylon leads and halters
• Knife, scissors, wire cutters
• Duct tape
• Livestock markers or paint
• Leg wraps
• Lime and bleach/disinfectant

DEVELOP A BUDDY SYSTEM

Talk with a neighbor or friend; make arrangements to check on each other after a disaster.  Tell one another if you are evacuating and to where, so authorities will know. Buddies may agree to pool resources, such as generators, water tanks, trailers, etc.

Permanently identify each horse by tattoo, microchip, brand, tag, photographs (front, rear, left and right side) and/or drawing.  If disaster strikes before you can do this, paint or etch hooves, use neck or pastern bands or paint your telephone number or the last four digits of your Social Security number on the side of the animal.

PRACTICE YOUR PLAN

When disaster strikes remain calm and follow your plan! Remember it is vital to be able to leave early in any mandatory evacuation to avoid getting stalled in traffic and create unnecessary hardships.

AFTER AN EVENT

• Notify family, friends and officials that you are okay, whether you stayed or evacuated. Use phones, radios, Internet, signs or word of mouth.
• Inspect your premises carefully before turning our horses. Look for foreign materials (tin, glass, nails) and downed fences or power lines.
• Be careful leaving your animals unattended outside. Familiar scents and landmarks may be altered, and your horses could easily become confused and lost.
• Check with your veterinarian or State Veterinarian’s office for information of any disease threats that may exist because of the situation.
• If you find other horses, use extreme caution in handling and work in pairs if possible. Keep the horse contained and isolated and notify authorities as soon as possible.
• If any horses are lost, contact local authorities. BE PREPARED TO IDENTIFY AND DOCUMENT OWNERSHIP WHEN CLAIMING LOST HORSES.
• Listen to the emergency alert system (EAS) for information about locating lost animals.

EasyCare wants to save you money

Want to order from the Bargain Bin but you are deterred when you see "Old Style" on the Epics and Easyboots?  Please don't be, as old style is simply that the boots were manufactured before 2007.  They still have all the same great features from 2006.   

There are no pre-2005 Easyboot or Epics in the Bargain Bin.  The boots are all current and only being moved to make room for the 2007 product line.  Just like your car dealers have their end of year clearance sale, here is ours. 

Remember when ordering repair parts or additional accessories, you can still shop and make your selection from the current accessory pages.  No need to figure out what part will fit your Bargain Bin boot.  Even our newest buckle "the Up Buckle" can be used on your boot. 

You can take the backstrap out of your Epic and replace it with the current comfort strap or taper strap.  All the parts are still going to fit the boot.  Don't believe this, then read "Endurance Musings" blog on these awesome boots with a great price tag attached. 

All Bargain Bin products are listed at 1/2 price and are not covered by the standard EasyCare warranty.  All sales are final, no returns.  So please, measure correctly and use the sizing chart before ordering.  Bargain Bin no longer offers a quantity discount when purchasing 4 or more boots.

Please note, all Bargain Bin items are in new unused condition and are only available through website orders only.

EVENTING WITH G2'S

A rider competing successfully eventing in Old Mac G2's writes:

1) My horse and I were 2nd in the Nation on the United States Eventing Associations web site leaderboard. (Senior Beginner Novice Rider)

2) We received the 2006 Champion Adult Amateur Jumper Award from Colorado West Hunter Jumper Association.

3) We placed 3rd As High point Beginner Novice Horse through the Mountain States Eventing Association's year end awards.

4) We are also MSEA's Champion Leading Senior Beginner Novice Rider of the year.

This is all very exciting to me - I raised this mare from a foal with hopes that she would just be a good trail horse. I can't get over how great she's doing and it all really fell into place after I pulled her shoes and put her in boots.  I truly think she is happier and more comfortable.  People are amazed to see we are doing this in hoof boots.  Thank You again EasyCare!

Road to the Horse

MURFREESBORO, Tenn., March 5, 2007: Chris Cox (Mineral Wells, Texas) was named champion of the 2007 Road to the Horse Sunday March 4 at Murfreesboro's Tennessee Miller Coliseum.  With Cox’s win, $15,000 will be donated to the national chapter of the Future Farmers of America (The Wahl Charity Challenge money) and Cox will head home with a memorial saddle, buckle, and model of his winning horse, Commander Otoe King, a 2004 AQHA sorrel by Paseo Pronto and out of Otoe Windy Commander.

As Rick Lamb said at the end of the event—“It’s now one for the history books.  The judges' vote and the crowd vote went to Chris Cox.”

Chris Cox started the 2007 Road to the Horse with a goal to win, but also to educate the crowds.  “It’s a great event and I’m privileged to be here,” Cox says.  “The crowd was into it.  It feels good.  When I picked the horse and went in there, I was the last person to catch my horse.  It’s constant work.  I had to stick with it.  I came here with the same plan I always use to work with a horse and I stuck with it.

At the end of the event that horse, number one in the remuda, locked onto Chris and followed him around in circles then out of the wide-open arena.

“I’m patient and I’m going wait on it,” Cox says.  “He came around.  There has to be a trust built there for that to happen.”

Fans and judges seemed to agree on the winner—but the competition was fierce.  At the end of day one, any of the clinicians had progressed with their horses and had the opportunity to win.

“I was absolutely thrilled with the entire competition,” says judge Mike Kevil. “Chris did a great job.  I’ve never seen Chris work before and I enjoyed watching him.  Chris made a lot of good decisions.  He was smooth in applying his methods.  He didn’t get hurried.  He let his horse relax before he went to work again.  It’s the demeanor of his horse we were watching most.  He had a great, willing attitude.  When Chris asked that horse to lope off, he loped off and loped until Chris asked him to slow down.  When he did walk, he walked with his head down and was relaxed—he wasn’t still excited from running.”

Alternate judge Lindy Burch attended Road to the Horse for the first time this year.  In the arena, she was in charge of tracking the clinicians’ break time (all were required to exit the pens for a break and could decide when to take those pauses).  The award-winning cutting trainer was pleased with the event and the results.

“I came here to see what all the hoopla was about,” she says.  “I had heard a lot about it, but wanted to see.  This event is a great education. It really fills a niche that people need—teaching them about what can be done with horses.  I think it fills a real need for the public—people that are interested in their horses’ welfare.  As a professional horse trainer and competitor—my horses aren’t pasture pets—they can do a job.  I appreciate a horse that can do a job, a horse that you can saddle up and go out for the day.  I saw that take shape in the round pen.”

A Must Have Accessory

Shear Comfort for you...

Can start with our Sheepskin covers.  We have comfort pads and comfort straps for our horses, why not have something comfortable for yourself.  Not only will they make your ride more enjoyable but the Merino wool is more advantageous than synthetic products.  Merino wool is the softest sheepskin in the world since it may have as many as 50,000 follicles per square inch.  Some will claim this wool is soft as feathers and others will stay soft as satin, however they describe it, "prickly wool" is a thing of the past.  Synthetic products cannot be produced as soft as Merino wool.  Natural wool is all-weather and naturally water repellant.  This wool reacts naturally to changes in temperature for good air circulation.  It can naturally absorb up to 35% of its own weight in sweat and release it as a vapor, keeping you dry and cool in summer.  Warm and dry in winter.  Because of its natural abilities, it doesn't absorb odors as quick as synthetic materials. 

Easy to clean:  Hand or gentle cycle machine wash using a light, non-bleach detergent.  Line dry out of direct sunlight. 

Still looking for more comfort for your horse?  We have covers available for your riding partner as well.   The same quality Merino wool is used and therefore the same natural qualities apply.
