Oleo Acres is a proud family-owned business with deep roots in the farrier industry. Founded in 1975 by the great-grandfather of current owner Rob Michel, Oleo Acres has been passed down through four generations. Celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, Oleo Acres continues to honor their legacy of craftsmanship and care. Rob remains a passionate advocate for the farrier community and currently serves as President of the Farrier Industry Association.
That same dedication to quality and tradition is what makes Oleo Acres such a valued EasyCare partner—working together to support farriers and horse owners with innovative, dependable hoof care solutions. Oleo Acres proudly carries our full EasyShoe Lineup, along with the new HoofLox Adhesives and our staple Easyboots and accessories. Through this partnership, Oleo Acres helps make EasyCare products more accessible to farriers across the region, ensuring horses everywhere benefit from the latest in hoof care innovation.
Last year, Oleo Acres partnered with EasyCare to host an educational clinic, bringing farriers together for hands-on demonstrations on applying Glue-On EasyShoes. The event highlighted Oleo Acres’ commitment to innovation and education—values that align with EasyCare’s mission to improve the well being of horses through education and cutting-edge technology.
Over the years, Oleo Acres has been a great EasyCare Dealer and goes above and beyond for their local farrier community. EasyCare HCP/Vet Dealer Representative, Dan Schroeder, shares: “Oleo Acres is a one stop shop for all of your farrier needs. They have a great staff and keep a large array of products to fill any farriers needs. Great people, great shop, great customer service all rolled into one store. Their team does a great job at hosting clinics to help farriers expand their knowledge of the trade.”
We truly value our partnership with this outstanding farrier shop. Oleo Acres continually goes above and beyond, and the entire EasyCare team proudly congratulates them on this milestone year!
