They are lightweight, easy to put on, and protect the whole hoof. EASYCARE came out with another winning product. In fact, GETC is so impressed with these new boots, that Christoph and Dian have been promoting them actively and helping riders get booted up at all the different ride sites. We are also introducing them to our clients at our facility in Moab. Check out these new boots under our Product page. You may also visit www.easycareinc.com for more info.
 
Looking ahead:

January/February 20
 
Eastern Mojave, Feb 14/15/16
 
Another Success story for the new Easyboot Glue-ons. Dian and Christoph  faced wintry driving conditions to attend the Eastern Mojave Pioneer Endurance ride 60 miles south of Las Vegas. Base camp was at 3800 ft, winter conditions prevailed for 3 days, driving rain, wind, snowstorms and very cold temperatures made this a true test for the Glue-ons. Furthermore, the trails were rocky and sandy,  tough conditions for any hoof protection. Our Team arrived with 4 horses, all freshly equipped with the Easyboot Glue-ons on all hooves. We like to use Vettec products to glue the shoes on: Sole-Guard for the inner circumference of the boot, and Equipak or Equipak CS for the sole of the hoof.
The boots stood up for the test. Not one boot came loose or showed any kind of weakness. They handled the rocks, sand and many miles of snow covered trails with great ease and good traction all around. Neither the cold nor the rain and snow could affect the performance of these new boots.  But let the results speak for themselves: All three days were won by one of our horses equipped with the Glue-ons:
 
Day one:   1st place: DWA Express and Christoph
Day two:   1st Place: Stars Aflame and Christoph, 3rd Place: Salty and Dian
Day three: 1st Place: Hanna CW and Christoph
 
After each day, lots of riders had questions about the new boots. We helped glue some boots on for other riders, who then did really well the following day.
We have been in the hoof care business for many years and tried and tested just about all the shoes and boots out there. We found the new Glue-ons to be the easiest to apply. They perform extremely well over the most rugged terrain and a wide variety of conditions. And they last. In one of our previous tests, we left the boots on for a full 6 weeks. They were still solidly attached to the hoof wall. And, best of all, with the Vettec CS Equipak, not even a hint of any kind of thrush or bacterial growth. Now that’s amazing.
For any questions any of you might have, feel free to contact EasyCare or Global Endurance. We’ll take the time to share our experience with you and help you to select the right product combination for your horse.
The new boots together with the Vettec products are available for purchase under our Products page.

DECEMBER 2008

End of November, Dian and Christoph went south to Arizona to start the new season. They stayed with their good friends Lisa and Garrett Ford, the owner of Easycare, Inc. and GE Cyclone (the horse). Garrett and Christoph have competed together in Ride &Tie events and many endurance rides over the years. They tested the new Easyboot Glue-ons on various horses and took them through some vigorous and lengthy workouts, over variable terrain, rocks and sand. The detailed test results can be viewed at Garret’s Blog.

GETC horses, with the exception of Double Zell, were fitted with the new Easyboot Glue-Ons and all did exceptionally well.

Dian had a challenging year, but her great spirits and determination allowed her to enter the 25 mile event on TC Mounshine.

Several USA riders went this year to the Quilty and it looks like we have even more next year. If anybody is interested to go and ride in Australia next year, please feel free to contact us.
 
In  August and September, several Tibetan monks from the Gaden Shartse Monastary came to visit GETC facility in Moab and extended their blessings to all the visitors, employees, and riders, as well as all the horses. It was a event we all will remember for a long time and our gratitude goes out to the monks who shared their time and prayers with us. The monks are on a USA tour to raise funds for a new hospital in India. That’s were they have been living in exile. More info can be found on their website: www.gadenshartsetour.org.

MARCH/APRIL 2008

A Highlight this spring was the arrival of two new foals, out of Halyva Night, a colt, and out of LZP Doubles Dancer, a filly, by DWA Express. Dian stayed home and didn’t participate in the Color Country ride to assure the arrival of the new foals. Thank You, Dian, for attending to the mares and foals. Your knowledge, experience, love and caring for GETC mares and foals is greatly appreciated by all. Your dedication and hard work is an inspiration. We all love You!!

The last couple of months were busy at the Global Endurance Training Center. Dian got through her chemotherapy and finished her last radiation treatment. She is getting stronger everyday and looking forward to a great season. It’s been a difficult year for all of us, but we worked together to met and overcame the challenges. Thanks to all our friends for your support and help during the last year. We really appreciate you all!

Ann Cummings from Wisconsin attended a clinic with us. Ann is an accomplished Centered Riding instructor. See her testimonial on our Testimonial page. After several days of working together and exchanging experiences, Ann decided she really liked our horse Kastaspell and decided to buy her and take her home. Congratulations, Ann, we wish you all the Best with Kastaspell and great success and enjoyment in your endurance career.

Color Country 3 day Pioneer Ride:

Back from the Color Country 3 day Pioneer Ride. GETC, Clients, Friends and former GETC horse and rider teams were awesome. Tennessee Lane came down from Ft. Collins to participate in this 3 day ride. She rode DWA Sabella, a former GETC horse to a 12th place finish on day one, a very respectable finish considering the long and harsh winter the Colorado high country had this year.

A BIG Thank You!! to Marion & her daughters for managing this ride. As always, they did and outstanding job. It was great to see Dave Rabe again after the challenges he had lately.

Like two years ago, our dear and long time friends from Christoph’s Ski Archery days, Sue and Dick Crouch, came out on their way home to WI to visit. Sue was on the National and World Ski Archery team in the woman’s division. She also used to train horses during her College days. It was so great to see and visit (what little we could) with them. Thank you very much Sue & Dick for the awesome dinners you so gratefully prepared and for helping crewing during the vet checks.

TC Mounshine has been trained and campaigned by Dian. Because of her treatments, she was unable to come to this ride. She let Esty ride one of her best horses. Thanks Dian, for all the work you have put into these horses.
 
Dian is recovering well and will be riding strong again this spring. We are grateful for all the support we have received from the endurance community and our friends all over. These challenging times have made all of us bond together. All your help and support has been greatly appreciated.
 
Looking ahead, GETC and EQUFLEXUSA are preparing for the AERC Convention, where a joint booth will be set up. Please visit us at our booth, we have free goodies just for stopping by.

Christoph will also be a speaker at the Saturday “Ask the Experts” panel.
Come and join us all at the Convention!

MOAB CANYONS 2 DAY RIDE

Thank You, Sheri Griffith, and all the volunteers that helped make this ride.

What an awesome ride!! Everyone plan this one for 2008. The plan is that it should be a 3-day Pioneer in 2008. The weather was beautiful. The trails were marked awesomely, the ride went smoothly. This is one of the most scenic rides around. It was located in the Canyonlands BLM area near Canyonlands National Park. Around 200 horse & riders showed up. Very successful.

GETC took 10 horses to this ride. GETC had 7 horses starting the 1st day.
David Shefrin completed his 1st 50 mile race riding DWA Sablisa.
Marcy Till did an awesome job w/Trinity. It was their 1st 50. Janelle Warkentin, did an awesome job w/HL Kastaspell. It was also their 1st 50.

GETC would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to our great friends, Mel Hare, Marcy Till, Janelle & Jermey Warkentin and Valerie Maxwell. Janelle, Jermey & Valerie traveled all the way from Oregon to do this ride. Jeremey was so awesome, he worked very hard to help us crew and care for all our horses. He would drive in and feed the horses both morning & night in order for us to care for the horses at the ride camp. Marcy Till, our good friend, helped me load and organize the stuff for the trip home and unloaded the trailer once back. This was stuff, lots of stuff for 10 horses.

This was Dian’s 1st ride back since her medical diagnosis & surgery in June. I dearly thank my partner, Christoph Schork, for working twice as hard to enable me and everyone else to ride like crazy. I can’t thank these great friends enough for enabling me to get out and ride my brains out. The results were fantastic!!

THE WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP
Aachen, Germany August 21st 2006

The World Equestrian Championship in Aachen, Germany, was the highlight of the year. Christoph and Taj Rai Hasan (aka Husky) were part of the 6 member USA Endurance Team.

We, (Christoph, Dian, and Husky) left Moab on August 1st and traveled to LA, where we stayed at Carolyn Hock’s place in Riverside, CA. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Carolyn and Chris Hock for their hospitality and help. The logistics of flying overseas can be challenging, but with their help it went smoothly. We flew out of LA w/Pet Jets to Amsterdam where the USA team reunited.

Our stabling in Aachen was set up at Gut Neuhaus ( HYPERLINK "http://www.gut-neuhaus.de" www.gut-neuhaus.de) owned by Rainer Plum. It is a beautiful state of the art horse stable with indoor arenas and horse trails right out the back door. All our horses adjusted well and recovered from the travel stress within a couple of days. We proceeded to train and learn the trails for the race. We set up extra pairs of shoes and made the decision to add studs because of the rain. It rained everyday in the month of August.

The course consisted of either pavement or thick mud. When race day came, the rain of the previous weeks had left its mark, making the trails very muddy. The start was overcast without rain. A shoe was sucked off after 20 miles. I put on an Easyboot, but had to slow down so we wouldn’t lose the Easyboot. We arrived at vet gate # 2, with a sound horse, but lost 20 minutes off our planned arrival time. We had great farriers for the team, Jeff Pauley & Mustafah. Jeff worked hard and fast to replace the lost shoe w/Mustafah helping. The farriers were very busy during the entire race working together to replace the lost shoes on all the USA team horses. Shoes were being sucked off like crazy. The rain started during loop 4, along with the temperature dropping dramatically. All competitors had to contend with running water down the roads and trails, which turned into creeks and increased the mud. Unfortunately, at vet gate #5 (mile 90), we were vetted out of the race.

The USA had 3 of the 5 riders finish the WEC, Kathy Downs, Meg Sleeper, and Jennifer Niehaus. Christoph Schork and Jeff Mattingley were vetted out at different times.

A very special THANK YOU goes out to my crew. The crew consisted of Dian, Clive Pollitt (our dear friend from Scotland), Sheri Griffith and Andy Bown. They did a superb job crewing for Christoph and Husky. Many thanks, to them and all the staff who helped getting us through the challenging day.

We send out a huge thank you to our Chef d’Equipe, Val Kanavy and assistant Chef d’Equipe, Laura Hayes, who did a terrific job on such short notice and Jamie Saults, our coordinator from USEF. We also thank our team Veterinarians, Tom Timmons & Ann Stewart for their support and guidance through the event, to our Team Farrier, Jeff Pauley, to our support Veterinarian from Uruguay, Flavia, and our support Farrier, Mustafah.

We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Chris & Cheryl Knoch for jumping in at the last minute and finding an appropriate course for the USA World Endurance Team selection trial ride that was held in Alturas, CA the 15th of August. Originally the trial run was going to be held in conjunction with the Likely 50. The Likely 50 ride was cancelled. On short notice, Chris and Cheryl were contacted about a possible course for our 39 mile demo ride and hosting 5 of the riders trying out for spots on the USA World Endurance Team. It was great getting to visit with them again after so many years.

THANK YOU CHRIS AND CHERYL FOR HELPING US OUT.
