Getting Ready For Tevis: Trying Out The Latest Boot Design

Our plans changed this weekend for a variety of reasons and we did not make it to the wonderful Fort Stanton Pioneer ride in New Mexico. It turned out I had to work on Friday and Monday, so we went back up the hill to Prescott for some more hill work. I just counted the number of trips we have made up to the horse camp: we have been to that area seven times in the last nine weeks. Now that the temperature in the Phoenix area has hit 115 degrees, the temptation to get out of Dodge is even stronger.

All of this training in the mountains has made us three very fit horses – so much so that I decided last week to enter Far in Tevis. A sound, fit horse is a terrible thing to waste, and he has impressed me so much over the last couple of months that I think this is a good year to take on one of endurance riding’s ultimate challenges. A big part of my decision is based on the level of confidence I have in the Glue-Ons: they provide dependable, lightweight protection and make me feel more comfortable about pointing my horse down that coveted trail. Far has been going nicely without boots on training rides around my place in northeast Scottsdale, but I will be enjoying the definitive hoof protection of Easyboot Glue-Ons for the Tevis on Saturday, August 1.

There are exciting things going on with the design of the Easyboot Gloves and Glue-Ons. I got to try out some of the new technology this weekend with the latest incarnation of the Gloves. Easycare seems to be devoting a great deal of time and resources to get the technology just right and I really like these latest boots.
