Press Release Summary: Neel Glass, Ph.D., a nuclear physicist who invented the Easyboot (a plastic horse boot used as a shoe replacement and hoof protection) has died at 83. His invention has helped horses worldwide, and he formulated many nuclear calculations used today.
Press Release Body: Tucson, Arizona June 6, 2008 Neel Glass, Ph.D, the inventor of the Easyboot who started Les-Kare (now EasyCare, Inc.) passed away April 27th at the age of 83.
Dr. Glass was a scientist, barefoot advocate and entrepreneur. He was an avid horseman whose many accomplishments include finishing the 1900- mile Pony Express Race in 1979 (all competitors wore his invention), numerous endurance ride completions, and the founding of Les-Kare, Inc. (now EasyCare Inc). Dr. Glass questioned the use of metal on hooves after studying the mechanics and physics of the hoof. When corrective shoeing failed to give relief to his daughter\'s navicular horse he became motivated to invent a shoeing alternative, and the Easyboot was born. Over 30 years later his invention has evolved into the leading alternative to traditional metal horse shoes. The Easyboot has become a key component in the fast-growing natural hoof care movement, and ultimately helps our beloved equine friends the world over live healthier, happier lives. In addition to his impressive achievements in the equine field, Dr. Glass made noteworthy contributions to the scientific world. He was a nuclear physicist who spent his career at Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico. He was a lead designer for nuclear testing and originated techniques now in widespread use for nuclear calculations. He was twice honored with the Department of Energy Award of Excellence and was recognized as a Laboratory Fellow in 1986.
