Protect your horse from EHV-1, H1N1, and Staph MRSA, among many other pathogens with Noble Outfitters® All-Purpose Stall Wash!

Noble Outfitters® All-Purpose Stall Wash is proudly made in the USA. The product cleans on contact with no rinsing required, and is fragrance and dye-free.  

You can breathe easy using this product. It is safe if ingested and has zero re-entry time, no more long waits before your horse can return to his stall. It is also biodegradable and is non-corrosive. The product is compatible with chlorine and proven to be compatible with most other common cleaning or sanitizing chemicals.

The uses are endless, but some of our favorites include stall walls, bedding, mats, buckets, wash racks, trailers, bits, tack, blankets, brushes and even use on hooves to treat or prevent thrush!

Noble Outfitters® All-Purpose Stall Wash comes in a concentrate which can be taken to horse shows to easily mix in a sprayer so you can clean your stalls before placing your horses in them. Stall Wash Concentrate can be diluted with water at a 1:50 ratio, or 2.5 oz per gallon of water. This means one 32oz bottle will yield 12 gallons of stall wash! That is a lot of clean stalls!

New Year Support Boot Giveaway!

Congratulations Heather B. of New Lebanon, OH, you are the lucky winner of the New Year Support Boot Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who participated in our contest!

Is there anything better than knowing you are protecting your horse? Yes; protecting your horse for FREE! How would you like to start the year off with a FREE 4-Pack of Prodigy Athletic Boots?

As many of you know, a support boot is one of the cheapest kinds of insurance you can buy for your competing equine. Should there be an overreach; the back leg would strike the back of the support boot instead of direct flesh. What a relief knowing your horse is safe from overreach injury and you are safe from vet bills!

The Prodigy Athletic Boots are built to fit snug, with shock-absorbing memory foam enclosed in neoprene. The dynamic sling system helps to support the suspensory tendons and ligaments, while providing superior comfort and protection. The added stretchy binding assures a comfortable fit while the darted edges keep the legs free of dirt.

If you are chosen as the lucky winner, you get to choose your own color and size desired.

For your chance to win, please answer one of the following questions:

1. What is your favorite Weaver product and why?
2. For what discipline do you use your support boots?
3. If you could design a color pattern for support boots, what would it be?

THE RULES 

One entry per person, please. (Note: if you don't see your entry right away, please don't enter a second time. It will show up shortly!)

Old Mac's to New Mac Why? Explaining the Changes and Improvements

Friday, November 20, 2015 by Hank Blum
Director of Sales at EasyCare Inc.

We have had many customers and dealers ask why we have made changes to the Old Mac's G2 and released the New Mac product line. The majority of the changes have come from customer feedback and looking at product that has come back in a damaged state. Horses are very hard on hoof protection and returns and damaged product is the best place to start when looking to improve a product line.

New Mac boots in the early testing

EasyCare purchased the Old Mac's product line, patents and inventory in 2005. We quickly updated the design from the original Old Mac's to the Old Mac's G2. The G2 was a very successful boot over the years but we decided to upgrade the boot in 2014 and make improvements based on nine years of consumer feedback. The goal was to improve on all the small things that cause the boot to be returned.

Although the Old Mac's G2 was a great product many of the parts and straps were not replaceable.

1.  Name Change from Old Mac's to New Mac. We inherited a boot name that is grammatically incorrect. Not sure how or why it was called the Old Mac's but the 's is incorrect "The apostrophe is used for two reasons: to show that certain letters in a contraction are missing, and to indicate ownership. The rules for apostrophes vary with the type of word. Apostrophes help make your writing clear and short." The name change to New Mac makes it grammatically correct and shows the horse world that the design has been updated.

2.  Front Shield. The Old Mac's design had a great deal of cordura and wore with time. The New Mac has a much more robust front and side shield that helps the longevity of the boot. The Color is added from the inside and can be tweaked, changed or updated for small custom production runs.

 3.  Outer Straps. The Outer straps on the Old Mac's G2 were sewn into place. If a strap was damaged in use the whole boot had to be scrapped. In addition the strap had a buckle that was sewn and permanently attached. The New Mac has straps that can be replaced and or reversed.

The Outer and Inner Strap on the New Mac is quickly replaceable.

4.  Inner Strap. The Inner strap on the Old Mac's G2 was also permanent. The inner strap on the New Mac can be replaced by the consumer as it wears. The inner strap has also been replaced with tubular webbing that does not have an edge.

5.  Incorporated Gaiter. The inside of the New Mac has been replaced with a softer material that doubles as a gaiter.  

The New Mac has been very well received and is holding up well. Strap failures can easily be fixed in the field to eliminate down time. We will continue to monitor this product line and will make running changes as we see areas we can improve.

Announcing: Trek’s First Birthday!

It’s been a full year since you were first introduced to the new Trek Boot, by Cavallo. During Trek's 1^st year on the market, you’ve shown your overwhelming delight by providing some incredible feedback. Trek is now Cavallo’s most popular hoof boot – and here’s what you’re saying about it:

"We find the new Trek Hoof Boot to be a quality product that has been durable and easy to put on. The option of ordering a slim boot was helpful, especially for our horse's narrower hooves. Our horse wears the Trek Slim Hoof Boot 24/7 on all 4 hooves. We go on trail rides, as well as do arena work with boots on. Also, the design of the replaceable Velcro strap is practical, as the Velcro usually is the first thing to wear out on boots. With the replacement strap design, simply replace the Velcro strap if it's worn out."

- Janice Wallace
  Battle Ground, Washington

“Thank you so much, Cavallo, for Trek and Simple Boots. Our barefoot / booted horses are doing great!!! We have gone from California to San Antonio Texas and are currently taking a Christmas break.  The boots are amazing and getting a lot of attention as any metal shod horses are only getting about two weeks of wear before needing replacements (even with borium welded on to preserve them) and our Cavallo boots have lots of miles left in them -  we are still on the first pair.” 

What makes the Trek Boot truly special is the TPU Pro Mesh upper - It's made from the same material used to make the Cavallo Boot soles. This powerfully strong material is exclusive worldwide to Cavallo Hoof Boots. The TPU Pro Mesh upper was created by combining technologically advanced materials - enabling Cavallo to offer your horse the best abrasion resistance and shock protection possible. So don’t hold back - Trek Boots enjoy a challenge! This means you and your horse can ride with safety and confidence that your boots will hold up through any terrain you put them through. Breathable, tear proof and incredibly strong,  no glues or adhesives are used in production. And Pro  Mesh is wonderfully easy to care for...simply brush, shake or hose off if required.

More Features Offered by the Cavallo Trek Boot:

- Ride a lot? If your Trek Velcro replaceable straps become fatigued, just switch them out to elongate the life of your boots. An extra strap is included with each Trek Boot,  giving you the most value for your money.

- Soft, flexible, cushioned collar provides ultra comfort for your horse.

- Ride at night? Trek boots have highly visible reflectors on the front and back for extra  safety if you’re caught out after dark.

- Honeycombed design optimizes strength and minimizes weight – making Trek a very lightweight boot.

- The signature Cavallo drainage slots allow your horse surefootedness through any terrain. There is no buildup of mud or debris and boots never become weighted.

As a bonus, you get The Cavallo Best Boot Warranty. In the unlikely event your Cavallos break within the first 6 months / 180 days, Cavallo will repair or replace your boots FREE OF CHARGE. You can rest assured that Cavallo stands behind the quality of their products, taking the stress out of your purchase!

When it comes right down to it, a hearty, well-functioning hoof boot means a happy, comfortable horse.  If you’re happy, we’re happy!

Cavallo Hoof Boots are available at Valley Vet Supply
