2008 Contest News:
Terri Tinkham and her Tennesee Walker, Oliver Twist are currently in First Place
Terri says, “I originally decided to go the barefoot route when our only halfway decent farrier moved out of the area. However, in hindsight, I think I would have come to it eventually because Oliver had begun to stumble.
"At about the same time, my riding partner and newly graduated farrier, Natalie Herman (#2 in this contest) had become interested in barefoot trimming and suggested that she bring his toes back to see if this helped the stumbling issues. It did and I was so impressed that I decided to see how he would travel in Easyboots. Imagine my amazement and delight when he not only did not stumble, but gaited much better than he ever had before. I have never looked back. His feet have grown, they are rock hard and I absolutely love the idea that I can keep him barefoot. My favorite application for the boots on the multi-day rides is foaming. For the one day rides, I use Epics on the front and Bares on the hinds.
"Last year we finished in a tie (with Dave Rabe) for 10th place in the AERC National Mileage standing with 1120 miles and so far this year, I am in 4th place, closing in on 3rd with 1070 miles to date.”
Not too shabby for a late starter. Congratulations, Terri! | Congratulations to the winners of EasyCare's 2007 $10,000 HOOF BOOT CONTEST!

Terri Tinkham, who didn’t start riding horses until her mid-50’s, is in first place in our hoof boot contest. The horse she rides, Oliver Twist, is a gaited Tennessee Walker / Standardbred gelding who just turned ten this May. The team has been doing endurance since Oli was six. Terri light-heartedly describes Oli as a “scrappy little (14.2) ‘pony’ -- he is not a real pony but certainly acts like one.”
