At 165+ wins and counting Christoph Schork has had some huge success in the sport of endurance racing!

12 months ago Christoph Schork and Dian Woodward from Global Endurance spent a week in Tucson after the Valley of the Sun endurance event. At that time Christoph and Dian had shoes on their horses and used Easyboots over shoes for events that were rocky and had long sections of hard packed roads. The visit was perfect timing as EasyCare was about to release the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On. Christoph took the time to look over the new products and did several training rides next to EasyCare horses that were fitted in the new hoof boots. The new products and success on the training rides convinced the pair to pull the shoes from their horses and give the hoof boots a try the following weekend.
Christoph and Dian after Las Cienegas in 2008. This was the first event for Global Endurance in Easyboot Glue-Ons.
The first test was such a huge success that Global endurance continued to race the entire 2009 season in Easyboot hoof boot products. The team will end the 2009 season with over 3,300 miles, 15 best conditions and 30+ wins.
Christoph has been involved in the sport since 1988 and has accumulated over 19,000 miles and 165 first place finishes. This year (the first season in Easyboots) has been Christoph's most successful season ever. Christoph will end the 2009 season with over 2,400 miles. His past high mileage season was 1,685. Christoph will end the 2009 season with 33+ first place finishes and 8+ Best Conditions. Dian has also had an impressive season with over 1,100 miles, 6 first place finishes and several best conditions.
Christoph and Dian have shown that endurance horses can compete at the highest levels of the sport in hoof boots. They have been competitive at local 50 mile events, the Tevis Cup, the AERC National Championship and FEI events.
What a year. Over the year EasyCare has learned a great deal about how to glue Easyboot Glue-On shells in place, what adhesives to use, how to prep a hoof, how to remove boots, racing and training in Easyboot Gloves. Thanks to Global Endurance, hoof boots have made huge advancements in 2009.
EasyCare would like to thank Global Endurance for believing in the hoof boot concept.
