Horse Quencher™ gives traveling horse owners peace of mind
Equatic Solutions announces the release of a new product, Horse Quencher™, designed to encourage your horse to drink water. Although we all joke about the old adage ‘you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink,’ dehydration is no laughing matter. Horse Quencher is a must for relocation, trail rides, shows, and events. It also comes in handy to have around the barn any time you feel a horse is drinking less than he or she should.
Not an electrolyte solution, nor the horsey equivalent of soda pop, Horse Quencher is a new approach using palatable, all-natural ingredients and flavorings with one goal in mind: to get a horse to drink water when you want him to.
Horse Quencher is available in a variety of flavors including apple, peppermint, butterscotch and root beer; a 25-serving container is priced at $19.99. It’s available at select retailers, by calling 888-783-6247, or online at www.horsequencher.com.
DOUBLE H PACKERS GO HORSECAMPING
"People go to great lengths to keep proper shoes on their horse's hooves for trail riding and horsecamping, yet forget to keep their own feet well shod," Bonnie Davis, owner of Two Horse Enterprises, stated. "At clinics or presentations, when folks ask me what kind of boots I wear, I tell 'em Double-H Packers." Double-H provides boots and packers for men, women and kids. All are designed to provide comfortable footwear and protection.
Along with presenting clinics and workshops throughout the nation, Davis also hosts trail rides and horsecamping events. August 11-17 will be the Second Annual California Trail Ride and Horsecamping Event.
"The old saying 'no hoof, no horse' applies to riders as well. Bad shoes, sore feet! So at all my clinics, presentations, demonstrations and rides, I've got my Packers on. They're good for working, riding, camping and going dancin' on Saturday night, too!" Davis concluded.
