Soft Ride On the Road 2025

Hello << Test First Name >>,

Summer is right around the corner and that means longer, warmer days to spend with our equine family. Soft Ride is proud to be part of so many owner’s checklists as they load their horses into trailers and head down the road this spring. We also pride ourselves on promoting educational partnerships between veterinarians, farriers, and owners for the good of the horse. Making sure all the humans on your horses’ team are on the same page when it comes to soundness maintenance and lameness prevention is an important part of your horses’ wellness. We’re excited to continue supporting educational advancement for equine professionals in 2025. Read on to see some of the places you’ll be able to catch up with Soft Ride at veterinary, farrier, and podiatry conferences across the US this year.

Keeping it in the Family: Summer Break

Soft Ride has worked over the last two decades to be a global presence, shipping internationally to over 50 countries, being stocked in over 6,000 veterinary clinics, and in use in every veterinary teaching hospital in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

But, at our heart, we’re a small family business. Our operation is very close knit, employing just a handful of people across the US. Many of us are direct family members, or staff we care about like family. We have always made the quality of life among our employees a top priority. That means we make a point of having two one-week vacations a year, one in the summer and one in the winter, so our staff can take the time to focus on their families. Our summer holiday this year is June 30th through July 7th. We will reopen for shipping and customer service on Tuesday July 8th. Our website ordering system will continue to operate normally during that time and any order placed will leave our facility when we reopen. We appreciate all our loyal customers giving us this time to focus on our human and equine family, and who knows, maybe when we’re all together this break we’ll brainstorm the next amazing Soft Ride product to help keep your equine family safe and comfortable!
