PYRANHA RELEASES NEW ALL NATURAL INSECT REPELLENT—ZERO-BITE
Pyranha—the most trusted name in topical horse care—announces the release of its most innovative insect repellent to date, all-natural Zero-Bite.
Zero-Bite contains zero chemical pesticides. Zero! Its bug-fighting power comes from Geraniol, an oil derived from Mother Nature’s own flowery fly deterrent, the geranium.
Geraniol is processed from the geranium, naturally refined and combined with other oils, including coconut oil and wintergreen oil, to produce the main body of Zero-Bite. The oils are then suspended in more than 90 percent water, so Zero-Bite is neither oily nor greasy!

RV Rover, Inc. Introduces the First 4-Seater, Fold-Up, Portable, Transportation Vehicle
RV Rover, Inc., announces that they are proud to introduce the Rover, the first 4-seater, fold-up, portable transportation vehicle that totally eliminates the need for a trailer or rack, making it very convenient for anyone requiring a mode of transportation once they reach their destination, whether it be a campground, horse show/competition, auto show, or just around the house.
The Rover is truly unique in that it can be hauled on any vehicle without a trailer or rack. The key is the special hitch that fits into any standard class 3, 2” receiver and the tongue assembly located on the front end of the Rover. These two units work together to allow the collapsible/fold-up vehicle to be easily loaded and lifted several inches off the ground, so that it is suspended in air while being transported. The hitch does all the work - no lifting required. The Rover is also compact enough to fit inside most trailers or the back of most SUV’s. The Rover can be transformed from ‘ready to tow’ to ‘ready to go’ in less than five minutes - no tools required.

World Equestrian Brands is pleased to announce the sponsorship of Arlene “Tuny” Page with their E. A. Mattes Saddle Pads. Page has enjoyed many wins in the FEI Grand Prix arena, including the USEF National Grand Prix Freestyle Championship in 2006, which qualified her to represent the USA in the 2006 World Cup finals in the Netherlands. Page uses E. A. Mattes saddle pads for competition and daily for schooling and training at her Still Point Farm in Wellington, Florida.
Page travels to Germany to work with dressage master, Hubertus Schmidt. Several years ago, while she was training in Europe, Peter Mattes donated saddle pads to the short listed riders for the US World Equestrian Games. Immediately impressed with the quality of the pad, Page rode in it and has remained loyal to Mattes saddle pads to this day. “My horses feel great when I ride in a Mattes pad,” Page said. “It is a marvelously uncomplicated pad with attached sheepskin panels. I like the natural feel of the sheepskin. It has an innate ability to ‘stabilize’ my saddle and the flaps do not interfere with my legs.”

Wireless Monitoring Savings Calculator For Stables Now Available
Horse breeders and stable managers considering the pros and cons of switching to wireless monitoring of temperature conditions critical to animal comfort and energy savings can now make more informed technology decisions with the Wireless Savings Calculator offered by Dickson Company, manufacturers of the Wireless Wizard Temperature Data Logger (http://www.dicksondata.com/product/model_WT100.php).
Chris Sorensen, Dickson VP Sales and Marketing, explains, “Stables need to monitor temperature conditions affecting horses but nobody wants to spend a lot of time doing so. The benefit of wireless data logging is that you no longer need to spend time retrieving data. Temperature data – both trends and real-time readings-- is automatically displayed on your desktop whenever you want to refer to it. If you add up the hours that would otherwise be spent on collecting and downloading data the time-savings is significant and this translates into a rapid return-on-investment by switching to wireless technology. Just how quickly you will recoup investments varies and the calculator enables you to get a firm idea of just what your real dollar savings over time will be.”

This haunting vision prompted Elsey to ask, “What can I do to help?”. With that one question, Soles4Soul was born with a simple mission: To impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes. Since January 2005, Soles4Souls has distributed more than three million pairs of shoes, in forty countries, on five continents.

"CRIBBER INHIBITOR" Preventive Equine Accessory Invented
InventHelp announces that one of its clients, an inventor from Killingworth, Conn., has developed an equine accessory to prevent horses from cribbing and chewing on wood. The inventor has created a prototype.
The CRIBBER INHIBITOR is designed to provide horse owners and caretakers with an improved way to discourage horses from engaging in chewing or cribbing habits. Unlike current methods, this device first deters unhealthy behaviors in a non-stressful manner and then gently redirects the horse's attention to a healthier, more positive form of self-amusement. This practical accessory could simultaneously promote equine health and prevent damage to fences, gates and other horizontal wooden surfaces.
