Tevis Through the Eyes of a Sales Guy


The paragraph at the bottom of this post on Easycare's blog pretty much sums up the way we at Trelawne Equine feels about Easycare. We started this company out of our belief that barefoot was the best thing we can do for ours horses, and after a number of years of using and selling a variety of hoof boots, that the Easycare range are the best possible products to help you achieve this. Easycare are totally unique in their knowledge, passion and experience in the field- I don't think any other manufacturer of hoof boots in the world can even begin to claim the same amount of research and sheer hard work has gone into their product! You only have to look at the vast range of boots available from them and see the long list of things people have achieved in Easycare boots to see how different and pioneering this company is.

"This was my second Tevis as a crew member for the Easyboot riders. This year was much easier for me because I knew the area and that is was going to get hot during the day. I also had a better sense of what I should expect from our human/horse teams. Last year there was the fear of the unknown: it was our first Tevis glue-on attempt. 2010 was very different for a number of reasons: there was even more on the line this year. In 2009 Easyboots performed almost flawlessly, so in 2010 not only did we want to repeat our 2009 performance, we wanted build on it

This year Garrett and the EasyCare team booted almost twice as many horses as last year. Because of the way Gloves and Glue ons performed over the past two years it was not a surprise that more people wanted these high performance boots on their horses. Tevis is a grueling 100 mile trek over some of the most rugged terrain in the Sierras and your choice of protection can make or break your experience.

2010 exceeded our expectations. EasyCare had six horses complete in the top 20 and a 59% completion rate vs. only 51% for horses with other forms of hoof care. If those statistics were not impressive enough, Garrett and Lisa moved from 16th and 17th place to 8th and 9th in the last six miles. To top it all off Garrett and The Fury won the Haggin Cup, an award for the horse that is judged to be in the best physical condition the day after the event. The Haggin Cup is viewed by many as the most prestigious award in the endurance world.

I have been with EasyCare for almost four years: it is a great company with amazing support team. I have never in my short lifetime been as proud to be part of something in my professional life. Easycare and are hoof boots are making a difference, we are changing the way people view hoof care. We are creating better lives for horses and offering solutions where  there used to be none. It feels good to be involved with company that is effecting change and making a difference. It was a proud day not only for EasyCare, but also for barefoot horses."
