Easy’s Slipper
Written By: Sue Blair - Carpe Diem Farms | Issue: 2018/07 - July
As the story of Easy’s Slipper and the horses of Carpe Diem Farms has continued in my articles in the Laurel this year, it’s exciting to share our latest adventure. Easy’s Slipper was invited in January to the International Hoof Care Summit by Carl Bettison, managing director of Stromsholm’s Farrier Supply, the UK’s largest and our distributor of ES to present three clinics in Usk, South Wales; Lambourn Woodlands, and the Bellow Hill Vet Clinic in Milton Keynes.
On June 10 we boarded planes to fly across the pond!
Dave Giza, Genesis Farrier Services from Culpeper, Virginia, and Amelia Island, Florida, traveled with me to be our demonstrating farrier. Dave has been instrumental in the development of Easy’s Slipper for drafts and by far he has used the slippers most extensively in his practice for a wide variety of therapeutic issues. His ability to creatively modify the slippers contributed to his presentation at the clinics.
Farriers, veterinarians and interested horse owners attended the three clinics to learn about our newly introduced Easy’s Performance Slippers, which we began releasing in January. We make nine sizes and five styles in each size, so the process of 3-D printing, making molds and then the slippers is slow and steady! We have also just launched the world’s first glue-on hind shoe, which is also getting rave reviews.

The horses of Carpe Diem Farms have been providing experiential experiences for students of all ages for 26 years. Nearly four thousand people have had their lives touched and enhanced by these amazing creatures. Now, because of Easy’s Slippers, invented right here at CDF, horses around the globe are thriving!
Carpe Diem Farms is a 501(c)(3) educational foundation providing experiential learning through equines. It’s located in Highlands.
