Stretch Out and Relax

Is your trailer crowding your truck? Are you afraid of running into yourself every time you make a tight turn? If so, this Extended King Pin is just what you need. The new RV5 lets you maneuver in confined spots without the worry of limited trailer swing.

The RV5 Extended King Pin adds ten inches of rearward clearance between your truck and fifth wheel trailer. This extra room gives you the trailer swing you need to negotiate in those tight spots. Short bed, long bed or custom hauler – if you’re towing a fifth wheel RV you’ll appreciate the new freedom you get with an RV5.

Easy bolt-on installation includes a massive clamp that fits standard king pin and box. The RV5 is fabricated from ½” steel, machined to precise tolerances and white powder-coat finished. The unit is rated at 24,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 6,000 pounds gross tongue weight.

Suggested Retail Price is $375. For the location of an RV5 Extended King Pin dealer near you, or for complete product information, call toll-free at 877.339.5704 between 8am and 5pm CT Monday through Friday. PopUP Industries, Inc., 220 West 14th Street, Chanute, KS 66720. www.popuphitch.com.

Is Working with Horses Ruining Your Hands?

Montrose, CA - Gloves In A Bottle is a lotion that turns your outer layer of skin into
what works like an invisible pair of gloves to keep the moisture robbing irritants out while
retaining your own natural moisture. Many horse medications, chemicals, detergents
and waste are absorbed directly into your skin, causing skin disorders or just plain dry
cracked skin or worse. When participating in outdoor activities from mustering, livestock
chemical dips, vet work, cleaning out stalls, working on an engine or just exposure to
harsh weather, you are further drying and irritating your skin. Gloves In A Bottle bonds
with the outer layer of skin to turn it into what works like an invisible pair of gloves.
These "invisible gloves" keep moisture robbing irritants out while helping to retain your
skin’s own natural moisture. Gloves In A Bottle is virtually undetectable once dry, lasts
four hours or more, and comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells.

Gloves In A Bottle is available at over 9000 pharmacies nationwide. For more
information call 800-600-1881 or visit www.glovesinabottle.com

FoalMaker™ Guarantee

Breeding Season is just around the corner, and FoalMaker™ (patent pending) is a well studied, therapeutic nutritional supplement that provides nutrients needed for optimal reproductive performance. The results of these studies have been presented at the 2003 AAVN Clinical Nutrition and Research Symposium (at the 2003 ACVIM Annual Meeting) and the American College of Nutrition 2003 Annual Meeting.

FoalMaker™ use results in increased per cycle conception rates. Some stallions also have increased total sperm per ejaculate. Some of the structures that utilize the nutrient Glucosamine: uterus and cervix; implantation of the embryo; testes, sperm membrane, and seminal fluid; sperm-egg attachment site.

FoalMaker™ is not just for the “problem” stallion. In most cases, just one extra foal will pay to supplement a stallion for an entire year. FoalMaker™ is available through your veterinarian or more detailed information (including 200+ references w/abstracts) at www.vetsupplements.com or call MD’s Choice at 800.628.0997.

MD’s Choice will refund 100% of the cost on all FoalMaker™ containers purchased if an individual stallion does not see an increase in the per cycle conception rates over an entire breeding season (compared to the previous breeding season). What do you have to lose?
