How Easyboots Saved Bryce Canyon for Bubba!

Here's a great testimonial that shows just how helpful Easyboots really are. 

In 2006, our first season, the Bryce Canyon 5-day ride had been the personal best for me and my Spotted Saddle Horse, Bubba G. This year I wussed out on him on Day 3 at Fort Schellbourne (a snowstorm in June!) and so we got to Bryce this year with high hopes, only to be derailed by losing a front shoe on Day 1 and Day 2. Both days we made it through using the same Easyboot that let us complete the 2006 Cold Springs 100 after losing a shoe at 75 miles, but we needed a way to go out with confidence the next 3 days.

The answer was simple: instead of using an Easyboot as a “spare tire,” Karen and Garrett foamed on two Easyboots in front. Bubba and I took it easy Day 3 getting used to our new outfit while improving our time and placing (and also passing 3000 miles in 21 months). We did Days 4 and 5 in under seven hours each, with ease and with confidence in our ability to make reasonable speeds in tricky footing without unreasonable risks.

The cost and effort of installing the Easyboots foamed in place was minimal; the peace of mind that came from knowing Bubba was protected on the trail was priceless. If there is a tough trail in front of you, Easyboots can smooth your way. Bubba and I sure won’t leave home without them.

Carol Layton Easy Foams Bares on!

Carol Layton recently tested out Easy Foam.  As you can see by the photo (by Peter Jackson), Carol rides with confidence knowing her boots are secure.  Check out what she says below...

Hello from Australia.  I had a great ride over the weekend on Omani Mr Sqiggle trialling the Easy Foam with four Easyboot Bares at an endurance ride held at Windeyer, near Mudgee in NSW.  I needed to trial the foam for the Shahzada marathon in the last week of August and now I know this is the answer for us.  I am totally delighted with the result. No need to be concerned about the possibility of rubbing from the gaiters.  I mean I have been able to do 160km rides and 400km marathons with boots and not had any rubbing from gaiters, but this foam means it doesn't need to be on my mind.  I don't have to fiddle with Sportstape or vetwrap.  It was easy to mix the glue together and put the boots on, we just removed the gaiters.
