Are you Christmas shopping for your barn friends, trainer, vet, or farrier? Here are a few practical gift ideas that all equestrian can use around the barn (their horse will thank them, too!)
Hoof Pick Wire Brush
Meet your new favorite hoof pick! Whether your horse is barefoot or shod, the EasyCare Hoof Pick Wire Brush can help you quickly clean the hoof, prep for glue, and more. The Wire Brush has stiff, durable bristles and a compact size that is easier to hold. This is a great tool for farriers and horse owners alike.
Hoof Pick
We also offer a small, magnetic Hoof Pick that always allows you to have a hoof pick at easy reach, whether in the truck, trailer, or hoof stand. This is another great option for farriers and horse owners alike!
CLEAN-IT
A small but practical gift, CLEAN-IT is a great item for all horse owners to have on hand. Thrush is commonly seen during the winter months due to wet, rainy weather and muddy pastures. CLEAN-IT is a hoof soaking solution that tackles thrush and bacterial infections, and is often effective in just one use! Your barn buddy will be glad they have CLEAN-IT on hand if a sudden bout of thrush develops.
Easyboot Remedy
Tired of hoof soaking in clumsy buckets or plastic bags? The Easyboot Remedy is a fantastic gift idea for all horse owners. Simply slide on the boot, add water and desired hoof soak, and let your horse stand comfortably while the hoof soak works its magic. No need to worry about knocking over buckets! When you’re done, simply slide the boot off and allow the waterproof material to drip dry in seconds.
The Remedy is also available in a tall, over-the-knee version (Easyboot Ultimate Remedy). This is a great gift for equestrians with horses in a training program who can benefit from ice therapy, and also doubles as a hoof soaking boot.
Due to the stretchy, flexible material, sizing is very flexible, making it a great gift idea if you don’t have specific hoof measurements. When in doubt, we recommend sizing up.
Easyboot Zip
The Easyboot Zip is another great item every horse owner should keep in their tack box. The Zip can secure and protect hoof raps. Great alternative to duct tape! Wrap the hoof with vet wrap and slip the Zip overtop to keep the rap clean and secure.
The Zip is also helpful to keep the hooves clean before a farrier visit or during a gluing application.
Easyboot Cloud
Think about your most comfortable, go-to pair of shoes. The Easyboot Cloud is that for our equine friends. The Cloud is ideal for stall use or small turnout, trailering, recovery after exercise, comfort on hard surfaces, standing around at horse shows, and more. If your barn buddy or trainer frequently travels to competitions, the Easyboot Cloud is a great gift option!
Gluing Accessories
If your friend already uses EasyShoes, we have many gluing accessories that would make a great gift!
Hoof Buffy
The Hoof Buffy is an attachment that makes hoof prep quick and easy. Attach to a drill and quickly remove dirt and dust from the hoof wall. This is an essential step before gluing.
If they already own a Hoof Buffy, you may consider gifting them with replacement sleeves!
Rasp
An alternative to the Hoof Buffy is a Mustad Rasp. Your farrier would also appreciate this gift!
Glue
If you know which type of glue your friend or farrier uses, you could surprise them with an extra bottle of Super Glue, Accelerator Spray, or EasyShoe Adhesives.
We hope this gives you some ideas for the equestrian in your life. Happy Holidays!
