[RC] Wear Four Easyboots at Tevis in 2010 and EasyCare Pays Your Entry - Kevin Myers
I was very impressed this weekend with the outreach activities EasyCare
offered at the 54th annual Tevis Cup. Several members of the senior
management team flew into California. They brought with them truckloads of Easyboot
Glue-Ons, tools and glue necessary to apply boots to approximately 17 competing
horses at no cost to the riders.
Imagine the planning that goes into getting ready for Tevis: getting up
to Robie Park and preparing you and your horse for one of the highest profile
endurance races in the world. It is a lot of work, and takes rigorous planning
and a lot of help from your friends and family. Garrett and Christoph, both of
whom were entered in the race, spent much of Thursday afternoon and all day
Friday selflessly rasping and trimming horses’ feet; prepping them for
the gluing process and applying boots.
It was fascinating to watch the application process – and the
removal process earlier today once we got back to Arizona. I wrote a short photo
story and summary here.
