Global Endurance Training Center

After 3 months of installation, the EuroXciser is finally operating at Global Endurance Training Center. It was hard and frustrating work, from preparing the ground to installing the arms and the most difficult part, assembling and erecting the fence. We had all kind of problems, the computerized controller didn’t work at first, a tornado demolished half of the fence and had to be redone. But, hurray, it is finally working and horses are getting a good work out. Today, thanks to the Euroxciser, we worked 17 horses. A huge time saving.

Just coming back today from Germany. Garrett Ford from EasyCare and I, attended the Huf Partners Conference in Schwaebish Hall, Germany. This conference was organized by Bernd Jung, the owner of Hufshop.de. This company is the exclusive importer for Easyboots. Bernd did an excellent job conducting this conference. What a treat to be invited to demonstrate together with Garrett the application of Glue On boots to over 40 participants. We reconnected with old friends, Christoph Mueller, for example, who now is the Vettec representative for Germany and northern Europe. Christoph Mueller explained all the VETTEC products to the participants.

As an additional bonus, we were able to witness Germany’s soccer win over Argentina. We had a big party.

This been a busy two weeks for GETC. Just before the Germany trip, two GETC horses attended the Western Regional WEG Observation trials in Brothers, Oregon. Stars Aflame and TC Mounshine are both qualified for the WEG, held in September 2010. Christoph and Tennessee Mahoney rode the horses during the try outs. They were supported by Dian, Andy Bown, Sean Mahoney and Arnie Garcia, who were the essential crew. They did an awesome job. 

Here, Andy Bown and Sean Mahoney are getting the horses ready for trot out at the Vet-in.

Next will be the National Try outs in Danville, Illinois. We keep you updated.

We also want to welcome Zach Rabow to GETC. Zach arrived last week to help training our horses and getting them ready for Tevis. We have 5 horses entered.
