Should We Copy or Echo Nature? Oh Yes!!!!

Have you been able to naturally give your horses the physical or mental stimulating area for their well-being. Creating an environment that echoes the wild does a lot for horses both physically and mentally. Keep that overhanging tree for a good back scratch area instead of cutting off that limb.   A good size boulder or old tree stump also works quite well for those much needed belly scratches. A fallen tree or old log does wonders for helping your horse find his balance and teaches him how to use his feet to go around or over obstacles. Balance and coordination are not part of the breeding or instinct, but by learning thru practice, trial and error.  If you take everything out of his living environment, you take out the challenges. Take "nature" out of the environment and your horse only has his water and hay for mental stimulation.  

Mentally horses are very perceptive, curious, and intelligent, so standing in a stall day and night could effectively be considered solitary confiment.  Having nothing else to do, the horse can turn to “vices” such as cribbing, pawing and pacing to relieve his boredom. This can eventually lead these behaviors to become habitual. Once the horse is liberated from his jail, however, many of these vices disappear. Physically horses are built to move, and in the wild will cover a total of ten to fifteen miles a day. When not able to exercise, body circulation is hindered, causing problems in the legs and feet.    Wild Horses travel constantly over different obstacles and different terrains.   Not only does this provide mental stimulation, but also keeps circulation flowing.   As they take a step, the hoof expands drawing blood into the hoof. As the hoof comes off the ground, the hoof contracts and pushes blood back up the leg. This is why the horse has five hearts.  Barefoot horses especially benefit from an all-terrain area, as again this mimics or echoes the wild.   Create the same conditions in their everyday living and just like the wild horse, have the domestic horse move more often. Standing at the water trough or just hanging out at the fence will not create a sound barefoot horse.  

You need to create their area to stimulate and enrich their lives, but that is not the only reasons although they are just as important. Creating this area will also help keep your barefoot horse sound so that any riding area or terrain is not a hazard. Having those rock crunching hooves allows both you and your horse to enjoy being on the trail. The terrain on which a horse lives is part of the conditioning. The terrain should resemble the surfaces that you wish to ride on. If you ride on soft surfaces, such as grass or sand, the terrain is not important. If you want a horse with all- terrain feet so it can be ridden on tough ground, it's terrain should include some rough ground. To ride on rocks,  your horse must live and walk on rocks. 

If space is limited or you board your horse, you can still stimulate them mentally by providing toys or having them turnout with other horses for extended periods of time.  Horses are herd animals and just like humans, they depend on their friends and a little socialization.

Have no control over their living area, but still want to go barefoot?   Hoof boots can help keep your horse sound physically as well. Removing the shoes and letting them go barefoot will allow their circulation to function as nature intended. Hoof boots are perfect for providing protection, traction, and allowing your horse to travel in comfort. Hoof boots with comfort pads work  like nature as well. Comfort pads change the peripheral loading from the walls of the hoof, back to where nature intends it, the whole bottom of the foot. 

EasyCare Inc can help you determine the appropriate boot for your specific needs. Contact us with any question regarding the hoof boots. We can also direct you to our great library of educational links that will help you echo the wild.

Top Ten Things about Hoof Health

TrailBlazer Magazine recently ran an article in it's September 2008 magazine "The Ultimate Guide to Trail Horse Health.  101 One Hundred Plus One Tidbits of Knowledge".  This article addressed:  Equine Skin Care, Fighting Disease, Vet Exam, Parasite Control, Vital Signs, Equine Eye, Metabolic Problems, Horse Nutrition, Hoof Care and Dental Health.  Each of these topics addressed the top ten things in this area of the Horse's Health.  This article was written by Wendy Lumbert.

Here at EasyCare Inc, we were of course drawn to the Top Ten Things about Hoof Health, and what Wendy had to say about these ten ways to ensure you get better hoof health. 

1st -- Diet.  "You are what you eat" goes hand in hand with your horse's overall health and this includes their hoof health.

2nd --  Trimming and Maintenance.  A regular trim even in the winter will help keep hooves in shape and come spring,  you are back on the trails again without hoof problems.

3rd -- Intelligent Hoof Care.  Monitor your horse's hooves to make sure that the trimming is being done correctly.  Watch for underrun heels or long toes.  These can take months or years to correct.  Change farriers if you find that the trims are not being properly done.  Use our handy Hoof Care Provider link to find one near you. 

4th -- Their Footing (Terrain).  Constant wet or soggy ground will 100% guarantee that they will develop hoof problems.  Correct their terrain as much as possible.  Read this great blog on " How to Keep your Barefoot Horses Sound". 

5th -- Grooming.  Keep the hooves picked out daily.  Not only will this let you know what kind of shape the hooves are in but also prevent stone bruises and find thrush or white line disease early.  Check out our magnetized hoof pick that will make it convenient for you to do this task every day. 

6th -- Leave room for expansion.  If you use metal shoes, make sure that they are not tight and make sure the ends of the shoes are to the end of the hoof.  If the shoes are too far towards the frog, this can lead to contracted heels.  Hoof boots allow for expansion and flexibility.    

7th -- Use Hoof Pads or hoof protective products.  There are boots and pads like our EasyCare Comfort Pads that will ensure pressure on the frogs and keep them healthy.

8th -- Use appropriate Hoof Coverings.  A horse with great feet maybe able to go barefoot almost all the time and just use hoof boots for that occasional ride.  Do what is appropriate and keeps your horse's feet in good condition.  We can always help you determine which boot would be appropriate for you.  You can contact us at any time. 

9th -- Keep Feet at proper moisture levels.  if your horse's hooves are too dry and your farrier has to take out super-sized nippers, try overflowing the water troughs a little or even use an EasySoaker.  Soaking the hooves on trimming day will make it easier for the farrier.

10th -- Address any problem quickly.  If you are out riding and hear the clink clink of a loose shoe, take care of it as soon as you possibly can.  Learn how to pull the shoes yourself and put on the hoof boot.  The Easyboot has been called the "Spare Tire" for years.

Of course you need to get the September 2008 issue of TrailBlazer magazine to be able to read this whole article.

Wild Horses from National Geographic

Watch this amazing video from National Geographic on some Wild Horses.  Keep in mind that most barefoot trims are now modeled after the wild horse.  Watch closely at the different terrain areas they travel through in their bare feet. Once your horse is barefoot, you may want to create a terrain that will help you achieve an all-terrain barefoot horse.   

Going barefoot requires reading of various educational materials, a natural Hoof Care Provider and Boots. Before you have those shoes pulled, decide which boot would most benefit your horse and you. EasyCare Inc has the most variety of boots available and you can contact us if you have further questions, comments or tips to share. 

Trail Riding with Bare Hooves in Arizona's Rocks and Sand

We have been trying very hard to provide any type of educational blogs regarding being barefoot.  This is only one of the many steps you have to take to educate yourself on allowing your horse to be barefoot.   Education is learning from the experience of others, so this article is from another aspect of going barefoot.  This person is not a vet nor a farrier but can still help educate others based on her own experience for deciding to go barefoot. 

This experience comes from Julie Drown who transitioned her horses after the advice of friends, her hoof care practitioner and the educational material she was recommended to read.    After riding her gaited horse with other gaited non-shod horses, she realized that with their speed even on rough terrain, why not check it out.   Her friends recommended one of Tucson's own hoof care practitioners "Courtney Vincent".   Courtney then recommended she read a number of barefoot articles before removing her horse's shoes. 

Based on their own experience, her friends offered this advice: “If you want your horse to go barefoot, we recommend looking for a trimmer or farrier who’s been specifically trained in shoeless trimming.” They chose Courtney because she’s had extensive training and she respects the natural shape of the individual horse’s hooves rather than trimming them into a predetermined shape.   EasyCare does the search for you.  Click on our Hoof Care Provider to see if there is one in your area.

Of course after removing the shoes and doing their initial trim, Julie had Courtney help her fit some new boots for her horses.   Some of her horse's didn't need the boots for long and were ready for the Arizona rocks and sand, while others still need the boots for their ouchy toes.  Any boot that you may need can be found here at EasyCare Inc.  Your first question would most likely be: "Which boot ?" and we have the answers to that question under our Educational link.

  You really need to read her article on her own experiences for going the barefoot way.   She is really pleased with her horses' performance since she took that plunge and they are really jumping for joy at their barefoot freedom.

Essentials To Keep a Barefoot Riding Horse

Throughout their history of domestication, horses have been maintained and ridden barefoot successfully. In the United States, only in the past couple of decades, after studies were done of the feet of free-roaming horses in the Western states and theories tested, has the idea of barefoot horses been the subject of much discussion. Tim Ware, author of "Maintaining a Natural Horse", brings to light a complete program for keeping a natural horse, barefoot and rideable. In this book, all aspects of horse care are covered: diet, exercise, living arrangements, trimming and shoeing, choosing the right horse, and emotional wellness.

There is much discussion on respecting nature and the natural processes that take place. Some of which man tries to change because of the emotions at the moment and then realizes that he/she may have gone against nature and interrupted situations that nature would have taken care of her way. Nature can be harsh at times, but it seems to operate with the perspective of what's best for the long run.

He discusses how important the terrain that a horse lives on is to the overall condition of their hooves. Most of our barefoot studies have been publicized  from expeditions in the Western US. He tells of his studies of the Shackleford Island wild horses, living off the coast of North Carolina, and how the wet conditions have demanded a much different looking hoof on the barefoot residents inhabiting the island. They were believed to be the descendants of horses that survived a Spanish ship wreck around 1520. How the hooves adapt and have certain qualities unlike the Western wild horses, is very interesting. He summarizes his ideas of why the hooves have developed like they are and how that has helped the horse survive such wet conditions.

He also discusses the need for hoof boots when riding on terrain that is different than what the horse has been raised in. Boots are also needed in the transition period from shoes to barefoot. He mentions his boots of choice and one is the EasyCare Boa boot.  It is really stressed at the importance of providing your riding partner the comfort of boots if needed. EasyCare has a wide selection of hoof boots for barefoot horses. These include Easyboots, Easyboot Epic, Easyboot Bare, Easyboot Grip, Boa boot, Old Macs and Easy Soaker boots.

The importance of a proper natural diet and lots of exercise is highly stressed. There is description of living conditions that can be accomplished to facilitate lots of movement, even if your space is somewhat limited in size.

The emotional well being of the domesticated horse is often forgotten. Even though man does not think of the horse as having a need such as that, they require it and will be a better partner for it.

One of the chapters is describing the barefoot trim. The how-to's and the why's give a bit of information to even the owner so that they can be aware of what to look for. Trimming as close to the natural state as possible is the most beneficial.

This is a great source for a quick read on some basics of keeping your horse in a natural barefoot life style. Click here to read more about these publications and to see what else the author has to offer.

EasyCare Help Desk Answer to Customer Question on Old Mac

Recently, a customer sent a question to the EasyCare Help Desk regarding a problem he was having with his Old Mac G2 boots.

Q - "I purchased a pair of the G2's and used them for ten days.  The coronet at the rear of the hoof on both front legs was rubbed raw.  My horse is low in the heel and I can't seem to be able to lower the placement of the strap.  Do you have any suggestions; am I doing anything wrong?"

A - "Check to make sure your inside strap is not too tight or too loose.  Also, putting one of our 1/2" comfort pads in the bottom of the boot would help to lift the heel.  You could also vet wrap the pastern before putting on the boots and make sure you are using the gaiters.  I have attached a link of tips for the Old Mac boot from our website here."

The customer e-mailed back: "Thank you very much for your reply.  The video link showed me what I was doing wrong.  Thanks again!"

EasyCare Hoof Boot Contest Winner Testimonial

Here is a testimonial on the use of EasyCare boots.....

"The last two years, I have ridden over 3500 miles using Easyboots, Epics and Bares on my barefoot horses with no problems at all. I think that Easyboots give the horses less concussion, and cuts out any chance of bruising of the soles, and there is less slipping on rocks and slick surfaces. Much of my success in endurance rides is attributed to the Easyboot products. The boots have helped me put 5000 miles or more on four different horses in AERC sanctioned events. I have used them in over 40,000 total AERC miles. I will always use Easyboots on my horses. Thank you EasyCare for your great products!"    Dave Rabe

EasyCare Offers Suggestions for Storing Horse Boots for the Winter

A question often asked here at EasyCare is:  "What is the best way to store my horse boots for the winter?"

The best answer is that you should store them the same way you store your tack.  But before you store the boots, clean them thoroughly and let dry. 

• Condition the leather on your Boa Boots just like you would the leather of your bridle before storage.  The upper section is leather and the sole is urethane.
• Locate an area safe from weather/temperature extremes and out of direct sunlight. Keep the boots in a dry and well-ventilated environment.
• Cover the boots.  This will help protect them from accumulating dust over the winter.  Don't store your boots in an airtight container as this could create mold and mildew.  Use some type of fabric for your cover.  Using plastic covers could still create an atmosphere for mold and mildew.  Try using an old pillow case to store your boots in.  You can hang it up or place it on a level surface. 
• During the summer time, hang your boots in mesh onion bags that you pick up at the grocery store for your onions.  These bags are great for ventilation after a hard ride and let the boots dry naturally.  For winter use, you can still use the bags but cover with a cloth to keep the dust down.
• Better than anything for storage is our Nylon Gear Bag.  They have a nylon mesh on both sides that will allow ventilation.  What could be easier than a store and carry item all at the same time.  Makes the job of packing your trailer that much easier.   

Another helpful tip for winter time is this:  Going riding and it is cold outside, take the boots somewhere warm first before applying.  This will make them a lot more easier to put on.

We are always requesting tips and hints from our customers and therefore we ask you:  "How do you store your boots in the winter time?"  Please let us know what is working for you and what did not work for you.  Submit your suggestions here.
