"When I first started distance riding 6 years ago, my POA mare, Skip Me Gold, better known as Mimi, had a lot of hoof problems due to some incorrect farrier work. My current farrier was able to turn her around and recommended letting her go barefoot. I agreed, because at this point, I didn't have much to lose. Nothing we were doing was having much success at keeping her sound.
She seemed to be riding better barefoot, but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep riding and training in the sand and rocks of Arizona and have her feet stay in good shape. I started using Easyboots off and on, intermixed with different shoeing experiments. Mimi's clear preference was boots.
When th 2005 Easyboots and Epics came out, we switched over to the boots permanently, and haven't been back to shoes since. The Epics made training easier and I glued on Easyboots for use in NATRC competition.
When the Bares came out, I switched over to using them, and Mimi and I are both thrilled with them. We still glue Easyboots on for NATRC, but use Bares for training and for AERC rides.
I'm amazed with how well the Bares have held up to the tough conditions I ride in - a lot of sand and rock. My first pair of Bares lasted for a little over 10 months, 3 LD endurance rides in AZ, and close to 750 miles!
Thank you EasyCare for coming out with such great products, and for constantly adapting and fine tuning the boots to keep making them even better!"
