Easy’s Slippers ARE our Stockings
Written By: Sue Blair - Carpe Diem Farms | Issue: 2018/12 - December
This is the most wonderful time of the year. The lights, the celebrations, the weather all make it so.
It has been the most wonderful year at Carpe Diem Farms and our gratitude abounds for all the blessings we have experienced. The participants in our programs and activities, visitors who have taken time to stop by for a tour, old friends and students who have returned, volunteers old and new, donors, especially the adopt-a-horse sponsors, the accomplishments of Easy’s Slipper on the world stage all because of our equine herd who began it all and continue to expand our knowledge, expertise and opportunities for the development of new offerings.
From Cincinnati to England and Wales; Gainesville to Lexington; Naples to Madison, Wisconsin; Saratoga, New York; and on to San Francisco; horses around the globe are having a chance because of a product developed and manufactured right here at CDF. Who would have ever guessed in 1997 that CDF’s first horse, a Morgan named Delta, stricken with laminitis (the Number Two killer of horses, which later caused the demise of Secretariat and Barbaro), could be making such an impact?
Our most recent trip, the World Clydesdale Show in Madison hosted 645 Clydes competing in five days of classes and vying for world titles. All the while, our booth was filled with horse owners, trainers, and competitors from every breed and discipline learning how they could make their horses more comfortable in our therapeutic or performance slippers. Be it laminitis, navicular, arthritis, suspensory, thin soles just to name a few uses, or the desire to use a glue-on instead of driving nails into their horses’ hooves; Easy’s Slipper at the end of its fourth year of marketing received incredible praise and applause.
Carpe Diem Farms welcomes visitors and volunteers are greatly appreciated to share their talents. Call (828) 526-2854 or (828) 787-1656 to make an appointment. Merry Christmas!
