New Start to Finish Calorie Pak Makes Weight Gain Supplementation Easy and Efficient!

 

Start to Finish Calorie Pak provides your active, senior or underweight horse with all the extra calories he needs without the digestive upsets and founder risks of feeding more grain. Designed to provide a steady, calm source of additional calories and energy as a grain topdress, Calorie Pak is available as either a no-mess 100% prilled vegetable fat (Calorie Pak 100) or as a 40% fat easy mix pellet (Calorie Pak 40). Used at lower feeding rates, it is an effective aid to improve coat and skin condition. For more information or to find a dealer near you call 800-323-5424.

 

Start to Finish products are owned and manufactured by MSC (Milk Specialties Company) located in Dundee, Illinois. MSC has over 50 years experience providing customer-focused animal nutrition.

USRider Assists in Trailer Accident Survey

Lexington, Ky. – USRider has teamed up with nationally known large-animal rescue expert Dr. Tomas Gimenez in an effort to further enhance the safety of horses and those who travel with horses. Through an innovative research project, USRider and Dr. Gimenez, a professor of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at Clemson University in Clemson, S.C., are gathering and analyzing data about horse trailer accidents. The data will be used to formulate recommendations for preventing accidents and enhancing the safety of horses. Dr. Gimenez began collecting data through a survey in December 2003. To date, about 100 horse owners, trainers, emergency responders, veterinarians and others who have somehow been involved in horse trailer incidents have responded. About 100 more responses are needed to ensure a representative sampling of data. The information being collected includes type of transport, type of towing vehicle, number and type of horses in transport, cause of accident, results of accident, extent of human and equine injuries, and type of personnel involved in rescue. After thoroughly analyzing the data, Dr. Gimenez will make recommendations on safety improvements and practices for both trailer owners and manufacturers. To participate in the project, visit www.usrider.org to download the survey form.
 
USRider provides roadside assistance and towing services along with other travel-related benefits to its members through the Equestrian Motor Plan. In addition to the typical flat-tire repair, battery assistance and lock-out services, the motor plan offers services designed with horse owners in mind, including towing and roadside assistance for a loaded horse trailer.

For more information about the USRider Equestrian Motor Plan, visit www.usrider.org or call 1-800-844-1409.

One of a Kind Christmas Gifts – Designs By HayHay

 

Designs By HayHay has that perfect one of a kind gift for that horse lover or collector in your life.  Handmade one of a kind fabric backed plates can stand alone or be used as a serving piece.  I have many fabrics and patterns to choose from. Plates also look beautiful with my 4-wick candles that are embossed and come in two great fragrances of French Vanilla or Hazelnut Creme. Choose from hundreds of graphics in both English and Western with many more beautiful designs that are not horse related.  I can make this wonderful scented gift even more personal by adding your own photos, ranch logos, or awards to the candle. Open, by appointment only, at my home in Everson, WA. Give me the opportunity to make that very personal, extra special gift for that hard to buy for person on your Christmas list.  Order early to avoid last minute deadlines that I may not be able to meet.  Prices start at $13.00 for a plate, $25.00 for candle and plate set, with extra charges for photo candles and shipping.
