Save Edge Rasps are Here!

A good rasp is an essential piece of equipment for horse owners, and even more so for those practicing natural hoof care and using hoof boots. Maintaining the hoof between visits from the hoof care practitioner keeps them consistent and healthy and keeps your Easyboots fitting nicely.

Save Edge rasps have been the industry standard for many years and are famous for their unmatched sharpness and longevity.

We're happy to announce that we have Save Edge Rasps and Handles in stock now!

Dave Rabe Inducted into the AERC Hall Of Fame

Dave Rabe is a familiar sight at many of the endurance events in the western states. And he should be: Dave has collected more than 46,000 competition miles, including a staggering 55 100-mile events. He also has managed to bring three horses over the 5,000-mile mark.

Please join EasyCare in congratulating Dave. We think there is no-one more deserving of AERC’s ultimate award.
