The EasyShoe Roller is often used in therapy cases, but it also excels in performance disciplines.
The aluminum roller by Jim Blurton is integrated with 3D HoofCare frog support and cuffs for easy gluing. The Roller provides more slide with each step for easier movement and less strain on tendons and ligaments. Not only is this ideal for certain therapy cases, but the ease of movement is preferable for disciplines like reining and dressage.
EasyCare customer, Jennifer, has been using the EasyShoe Roller on two of her reining horses with great results.
Her gelding Whizkey Mixer recently was the L4 co Non-Pro Derby Champion at the Woodside Slide winning $11,000 wearing the EasyShoe Roller on his front hooves.
Jennifer’s mare Surprizing Sixty Six has been in the Roller for over a year with winning results and improved hoof health.
“The improvement in her hoof health has been remarkable. She’s grown more sole and is moving more comfortably than ever before. Although I had some initial concerns about how the shoes would hold up during high-intensity maneuvers like sliding stops and spins at the top levels of competition, her performance in them quickly put those doubts to rest. Recently, we took home over $11,000 in the Non-Pro Derby at the Cactus Reining Classic—all while wearing the EasyShoe Roller. I couldn’t be more impressed with their performance and durability.”
The EasyShoe Roller is also proving to excel in dressage. EasyCare customer, Matéo, has seen great improvement in performance. He recently came in 7th place in the French Pro Elite Championship wearing the EasyShoe Roller and looks forward to more competitions to come.
“Thanks to the EasyShoe Roller, my horse has better locomotion in trot and canter and finds it easier to do exercises such as passage and piaffe.”
Overall, the ease of movement makes the Roller a great option for certain therapy cases and performance in the arena.
