The Tevis Cup 100 Mile Endurance Ride started the sport of endurance racing and is still considered the toughest 100 mile horse race in the world. It’s the race where the toughest people in the sport go to test themselves, test their horses and test their gear.
Fitting Easyboots for the Tevis Cup.
EasyCare has a long history at the Tevis Cup where Dr. Neel Glass first finished the event in original Easyboots in 1975. Neel’s 1975 success was the start of hundreds of Tevis buckle awards earned in Easyboot urethane hoof boots. After more than 300 Easyboot Tevis Buckle finishes, it’s hard to keep an accurate count but the numbers compiled at one of Time Magazines “Top Ten Endurance Competitions” has been impressive.
In addition to the numerous buckles earned at the Tevis Cup in Easyboots, The Haggin Cup and Tevis Cups have also been won in EasyCare hoof boots.
1. Sandy Brown and the wonder mule “Ruby” won the Haggin Cup in 1998.
