Most of you know Karen Chaton. She is an avid endurance rider, a barefoot advocate and is highly dedicated to educating people and helping them ride in boots. Karen has left her marketing position at EasyCare for personal reasons. She did a great job for us while she was here and we valued her insights and expertise. We respect her privacy and and do not feel that it is appropriate to go into the details of her leaving or pass along her contact information. However, those of you who know her will no doubt run into her at a future endurance ride.
We will miss her energy and enthusiasm and wish her all the best. While she was at EasyCare she launched a number of great programs, was instrumental in re-designing and updating our website, and helped numerous customers with booting issues. She also kept up her rigorous work schedule while attending her usual amount of rides! We will miss her creative ideas and all that she did for us while she was at EasyCare.
Cathie Hook, who has been with the company for five years, will be taking over Karen's duties (more on that later.) If you have specific inquiries please address them to [email protected]. Please be patient with us while we make this transition. We will be in touch with all of you!
Wow, this is sad news! I know I speak for many others when I say that I always looked forward to reading about Karen's fabulous adventures with Chief, I appreciated her creativity and knowledge when it came to custom-fitting Easyboots, and I valued her quick and accurate response to questions and comments. She was a huge, positive influence on me and so many others, and will be greatly missed.
Happy trails, Karen!

I am also sorry to hear this news. Karen's tips, insights and personal experience on adjusting Easyboots are what gave me the confidence to get started and keep going with Easyboots even when there are the little snags we all run into until we get it right for our particular horse.
Karen, you will be missed!

Oh Boy! This is really stressing news! I sure hope we'll see her on the trail soon. She has been the person to look up to for me as we did our first 50 miler together with no crew! We challanged ourself at the Bridgeport, CA ride and that ride is no little 50 miler! We both did great and finished like we had done this many times before. I will never forget that ride!
You will be VERY missed! It will be hard to fill your "boots" here.
Amy :(
