Dave Rabe finished first in the contest two years in a row and has this to say about
using boots on his now barefoot horses: \"The Easyboot Epics and Bares that I used
this year worked better than I ever imagined possible. They were excellent and
worked really well for my horses. I had my shoer trim my horses every few weeks.
This was way better for my horses, their hoof walls are stronger. The boots were a
lot easier to use than I thought they would be and they held up extremely well. I
never had any problem with the gaiters all year.

I thought the Bares were awesome, no worry about buckles. My horses travel just as
well in the boots as they do with shoes on and they are much better off being
barefoot. My horses are kept in a 10 acre pasture with some rocks and they do just
as well barefoot as they did with shoes on. Thanks EasyCare for having the hoof boot
contest! I think your boots are the best thing on the market by far and haven't seen
anything even close.\"
