Easyboot Glove continues to excel

I continue to put more miles and time on the Easyboot Glove.  The Glove continues to excel and pass all the tests with flying colors.  It's EasyCare's best hoof boot!  I'm amazed at how well it works and how easy it is to apply and remove.  I did 3 hours of tough riding last night and an additional 2.5 hours on another horse this morning. 

I'm getting a couple of the horses fit for some endurance events in 2009.  Can't wait to see how they perform at 50+ mile distances. 

Here are a couple photos from the ride.  Easyboot Edge up front, Easyboot Glove in the back.

Garrett, How many endurance rides have you done on these boots thus far? I do not feel that 2- rides one being 3 hours and one 2 1/2 hours constitutes "research" on something as important as an animal's health and welfare. Wouldn't proper protocol be to have some endurance riders try these boots out for a length of time to make sure they are safe? I'm sure safety is a top priority with Easycare and their products? warm regards, sue

Hi Garret
I am on the Team and I have been closely following and am excited about all the new boots that you are working on. My question is- Can the Team members have the option to purchase some of the new products before the general public. I am on the list to test out the Edges but would also like the opportunity to test or purchase the Gloves.

Just had to ask

Sue- Before responding I looked up your endurance record. Are you Susan Cook AERC#11553 from Lincoln, CA?

To answer your question the Easyboot Glove has done zero AERC miles. I'm sorry that you feel that 2 1/2 and 3 hour rides don't constitute research. It's essential to do 2 1/2 and 3 hour rides before moving to 4, 6 or 10 hour rides. All part of the progress.

With that said, I've been working on horse boots for the last 16 years and have done many endurance races in hoof boots. That 16 years has given me the experience to know when a hoof boot works and when to move on to the next one. The Glove will be at some endurance events in the near future and I believe will pass the endurance test.

If I had to saddle and boot a horse today in order to save a loved ones life, I would pick the Easyboot Glove. I appreciate your concern and support. We are both looking out for the best interest of horses.

Hi Garrett,
I live in Australia and am eagerly waiting for both the Edge and the Glove to be released as I have a horse with a club foot and we do a lot of riding through very rough terrain. When are the boots going to be released?

Hi Garrett,
I have been following these reports on the new boots and now my horses are barefoot again and I am awaiting boots that I thought I was going to get to test in September but never received. I moved in November but sent you folks my new address. The gloves look like a nice low profile boot that won't rub the periople and their clean less bulky design should cut down on interference. I am looking forward to trying some boots over the winter so I may use them at rides. I also won a pair of Edges last year in a trivia contest and am still waiting to receive those. THANKS for great products! Karen Bumgarner - Team Easyboot member

I am so excited to try the Glove!
I will be calling the office first thing tomorrow morning.
Thank You
