Stabling & Stall Comfort and Protection

Brian Bell - Rested & Ready

“We use Soft Rides as a preventative, you know when you’re at the show and they’re stalls are on concrete its hard to put enough shavings under them to keep them comfortable. There was a noticeable difference, the horses were comfortable and relaxed, and they felt fresh. When you get to a horse show you can’t start out with a horse thats already tired. You know these three year olds that we show, are you know are worth so much money and can win so much money, that its just crazy not to do everything you can for them.”

Chris Killim - Reduce Hoof Injuries

“Hi, my name is Chris Killim and I’m here with Top Horses LLC, this is Gangster and I was going to talk to you a little bit about the Soft Ride Boot company. All my horses wear the Soft Ride Boots almost 100% of the time unless they’re in competition or working. We’ve also just gotten this product in the last 6 months, and it is amazing! I can ice pretty much from their stomach down on all their legs and I can get the temperature so cold with the aeration and the salt that we put in it. They’re just amazing products, they really allow me to ice the horses entire leg and get it colder than any other ice boot machine out there! The Soft Ride Boots - I mean horses are meant to not be living in stalls, there meant to be walking around 24 hours a day. So their frog pumps all of the blood and everything from the bottom up. With these boots every time they shift their weight just a little bit its like them taking 10 steps in the wild. It really increases their health, it really increases circulation and its become a vital part of all my horses. Whether they’re showing or not showing - I mean even horses coming back from injuries that I need to grow heel. It has produced more heel than any other boot we’ve ever tried, used, or even come up with, so I can’t thank the Soft Ride Comfort Boot company enough!”

Andrea Fappani - Stall Mats Become Optional

“Anything I can do to keep them comfortable traveling - I’m going to do it. Since I’ve been using them Ive noticed that the horses that wear the Soft Ride Gel - that maybe before, took a day or two to get comfortable once they got to the horse show, they really were tired and fatigued to lay down a lot. I noticed that they can get right to work and I don’t have to worry about them being foot sore. If a horse is comfortable in it and I know that they’re happy having them on, I’m going to put them on as much as I can especially when were away from home. Any step that I can do to keep them comfortable I’m going to do it and a big part of it is for sure the Soft Ride Gel.”

Taylor Young & Jayme Edwards - Smoother Roads

“We spend anywhere from 8-10 hours a weekend on the road, but we can be be anywhere from 1 rodeo to 5 rodeos in a weekend. This year we did about, I’d say, 30-35 rodeos.

“So hows she doing now that she’s got her Soft Rides on?”

“Fantastic! We’ve noticed less fatigue with the horses, they’re coming out of that trailer ride a lot fresher feeling, and we’ve not seen stockiness build up in their legs and their tendons. Its just been a great product. We haul not only barrel horses but rope horses, and its been all round, a huge difference. Anybody who hauls in any kind of discipline needs to have them on the horses”

Christine Laughlin - Paddock Protection

“I’ve been using Soft Ride Boots on my horses for years probably since they came out. Competitive barrel racing is very demanding on our horses, if you don’t have great feet, or sore feet, or if you have abscesses - you’re not going to be good in the arena. I find myself using Soft Rides the most in the trailer and when I get somewhere on the hard ground. The compression, the compaction, the jarring, the jerking, of the trailer - it takes a beating on their legs, and the Soft Rides protect my horse from all those things. They stay on super good, and with the extra rubber (bands). You put on the products that you believe in and that keep them safe and comfortable”
