I appreciate all of our vendors like Easycare who
support and sponsor AERC, NATRC etc. They also have offers to ride managers to
submit for donations for their rides. While endurance riders are not their
biggest market I understand, they work to develop products for the distance
trail rider, along with the casual rider. I have found they stand behind all
their products that I've purchased from them direct. When they were the
distributors of Hi-Tie systems, and I had TWO break on the long XP in 2004, they
sent me brand new ones. While I understand wanting to save money when we
can, as our horses are expensive, often it is better to pay a little more and
buy direct, and thank the companies for all they do for our sport. Wonder if
that eBay seller donates to any rides, or does any sponsorships....
