The Easyboot Glove Performs Well in Mud!

Found this on one of the horse group forums.........

"Went to the Eagle Ranch ride in MO this weekend. It was TOUGH! I've done this ride before and do not remember it being that tough. I think the mud and being on new horses is the reason for that. At one point, up to our bellie in muck. Opted not to ride Sunday for fear of injury to the FEI horse......the gentleman I was riding with had Gloves on his horse on all 4 and am I impressed with those. I lost a shoe, but that mud sucking, bog binding mud did not suck a boot off after that many hours in the muck."

Here is more testament that with the correct snug fit, the Easyboot Glove will stay put in these muddy conditions. Make your trails Happy.....put some Gloves on your horse!!!!!

                                                            

Boa's and Epics..Making Magic's Life Easier

                                                                       I bought Magic (a Tennessee Walker) in May 2007 as a "shod" 12 year old horse.  In the fall of 2007 I decided to try  my shot at transitioning him to become barefoot.  At first I just rode him barefoot on softer trails, avoiding the rockier locations.  Since that was limiting, I began with the Easyboots in the spring of 2008.  I quickly fell in love with the boots.  I could ride ANYWHERE and still have a barefoot horse.  I started with the Boa boots because I was chicken that I couldn't manage the Epics...used the Boas till end of summer 2007, then got brave and tried the Epics.....love them all!  Now after a full year of first Boas, then Epics, Magic has become tougher and I can ride him barefoot on many trails in my area.  Knowing I can slip the boots on whenever in doubt, makes this ongoing process a breeze.

I now have a pair of Easyboot Grips also, which I love in this muddy spring riding season. Whether downhill, uphill or just plain sloshing through a mucky section, the Grips just hang in there, giving Magic firm footing and me peace of mind.  It's unbelievable to see that none of these boots have ever come off.  Some rides we have been through so much mud, I can't even see the boots!!  After digging the mud off, there they are!

I am now working on riding Magic barefoot, even more frequently, entering into our second year without shoes.  Thank you so much EasyCare for a great product and the services you offer!!  Recently I sent an Epic in to have a new cable put on.  In less than a week, I received the repaired boot!  I am planning on graduating to the new Easyboot Gloves..whenever my Epics wear out.  Might be awhile though, because these are TOUGH boots!  I guess that's the price you pay for making a durable product.

New Easyboot Glove Boots

The Easyboot Glove boots are available through EasyCare ( the manufacturer) and also several of our dealers. Please check with your local tack stores or the many catalog tack stores to see if they have what you are needing. You can also go to our website and locate a dealer or practitioner who can provide product and knowledge at the same time.

The simplicity of the Glove boots make them the ultimate riding boot. No inside or outside hardware to deal with. They fit like a "glove"!!!!  That is what will help to keep debris, sand and mud out of your boots and make the journey much more comfy for your horse.

Please make certain to measure in millimeters for correct sizing. We also suggest one of our Fit Kits to minimize the back and forth freight costs of getting the wrong sized boots from the start. The Glove boots have a really great tread on them also to give you the needed traction for those out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere, stress reducing trails that we all enjoy! Half the stress relief is the fact that you have no hardware to deal with......you can put the boots on and concentrate on your ride.

EasyCare offers a 30 day money-back guarantee on all styles of our boots.....so I say...try them, you WILL  like em!  You can't lose, with EasyCare boots!

 

Mule in Easyboot Gloves

Here is a picture of "Box Car Willy" a gaited mule wearing his size 00 Easyboot Gloves!  Leslie Carrig, one of our hoof care practitioner dealers serving Carson Valley in northern Nevada sent us this picture.   Visit her website  High Desert Hoofcare for more information.  Thanks Leslie for the  picture!  Long ears in Gloves....awesome!

Gloves and Grips Working Together

Take a look at these great shots of the Glove Boots in Action. These words and pictures come from Ann Szolas (Barefoot HoofCare) and her horse Cory wearing Grip Boots in the front and Gloves in the back. It really was impressive to Ann to see that they stayed on his super narrow hind feet, the  boots were great through the whole ride!

I love those Gloves!  I can't believe how great they stay on in all kinds of awful stuff.  I have raced, crossed a river with a sinky bottom, scrambled out of the same river up a 3 foot vertical silty climb, sunk halfway to his hocks in soft dirt with roots in it, gone through mud and just plain really rough trails.  I have never lost one and only had one get a little twisted once.  I do get mud shoved under one side of the "V" sometimes but it is no trouble.  I LOVE the traction!  It's almost as good as new Grips which I have been using on the fronts.  Can't wait to get my Edges for the fronts! Thank You Ann, EasyCare  thanks you for your great feedback! Happy Trails!

Hoof Boots and Georgie Girl

Here's a picture of me on my Missouri Foxtrotter gaited horse (I'm the one in the back with a helmet) at big Creek Trail Ride in Hartshorn, Missouri. The lady on the paint Foxtrotter is my riding buddy. She uses Easyboots for spare tires when she looses a shoe.

 

My horse, Georgie Girl, is a coming 9 year old Black Missouri Foxtrotter that I have had since she was 4. I bought her from Valley Springs Foxtrotter Ranch in Black, Missouri.

Georgie Girl was always very sensitive to rocks, even in shoes. One day I was looking at my riding buddy's horses hooves and then Georgie's, and noticed that Georgie had big slits in her frog and in to the bulb area. I started researching it on the internet and found several barefoot horse sites that talked about it being caused from thrush and the only way to get it healed was to remove the shoes. I had been trying with no success for a year with shoes on Georgie.  After my last camping ride in 2005, I had Georgie's shoes pulled. I worked for the next 3 years, trying everything to get those big slits healed. Finally, I was told about Clean Trax  deep hoof cleanser soak to heal the Thrush and White Line disease. I had one Easy Soaker boot from Easycare that I used to do each foot one at a time. After that ordeal, I bought more and soaked them all at one time and finally got the hooves to heal. Hallelujah!

During the time after I had Georgie's shoes pulled, I began the journey of learning how to measure, order and use Easyboots. I have tried them all. I now use Easyboot Bare's on the front and Easyboot Epic's on the back. But, next time I have my horse trimmed, I'm going to measure for the Easyboot Glove. It's been a learning process and at times, an expensive proposition. I tried other brands of boots along the way, and they either didn't hold up or caused Georgie to have swollen legs at the end of the ride. One of the other brands wore through after only 3 hours on the Missouri rock. Thus, I have found the Easyboot Bare's to work best for my gaited horse. I do struggle at times to get them on but ONLY when I don't put them in the sun to warm or put them in hot water. One of the lessons I had to learn along the way.

Along my journey, I even learned to perform the natural trim on my Georgie, but I still do have a trimmer that I use. When Georgie gets her fresh spring trim,I hope to measure her for the Easyboot Glove. I love your products! Keep up the innovative work! I can't wait to see how Georgie does with the Easyboot Gloves! By the way, Georgie gaits better than ever now that her feet are healed!
