The Young Black Stallion to be released Christmas 2003

A team of top filmmakers (including the screenwriter and producer of the original 'Black Stallion' feature) join forces for this exciting new installment of a family favorite that has captured the imaginations of millions of readers and moviegoers. Disney's first dramatic adventure made expressly for the giant screen is a magnificent and thrilling tale that is a prequel to the 1979 motion picture "The Black Stallion." Set in Northern Africa at the conclusion of World War II, this extraordinary film follows the adventures of a young girl named Neera, who becomes separated from her family and finds herself alone in the desert. When a wild stallion (whom Neera names Shetan) comes to her aid, the two form a special bond and the horse helps Neera to return home to her grandfather. As their friendship and trust grows, the girl devises a daring plan to race the wild Shetan (whose name means 'the devil') in the annual horse race and help restore her grandfather's reputation. Staking everything on the race, Neera's iron will and courage combined with Shetan's untamed power and determination culminates in some of the most breathtaking and triumphant scenes ever visualized on the giant screen. "Young Black Stallion" was directed by Simon Wincer ("Free Willy") for executive producer Kathleen Kennedy and producers Frank Marshall and Fred Roos, from a screenplay by Jeanne Rosenberg.

Deworming Made Easier with New Rotation ® Sure-grip(tm) Syringe

Farnam, one of the oldest and most trusted names in equine parasite control launched ROTATION® 1 (ivermectin) and ROTATION® 2 (pyrantal pamoate) in 2002. Horse owners know that rotating dewormers are necessary to keep a horse healthy, but with an unwilling horse, the process can be messy and irritating. But it just got a whole lot easier for horses and their caregivers with a new ROTATION Sure-Grip(tm) syringe.
The ROTATION Sure-Grip syringe offers horse owners the most advanced deworming technology. The new syringe has an ergonomic design that sets it apart from other dewormers:
· Short plunger design fits for easier dewormer application.
· Extended contoured Sure-Grip handle makes syringe operation smoother.
· Variable dose-setting mechanism for accurate dosing.
· Ribbed safety tip for easy access and no overhang that could result in unintended removal or spillage.
The Sure-Grip syringe fits comfortably, even in small hands, and enables faster dewormer application. The extended contoured sure-grip handle offers more precise control, while the non-slip thumb "saddle" makes syringe operation smoother. Field research with horse owners and veterinarians regarding the new syringe resulted in exciting feedback. Comments ranged from " best syringe I've ever used" to "smooth," "quick" and "easy". The common thread was clear, the syringe made deworming easier on the horse and the person administering.
ROTATION 1 (ivermectin) is part of an effective, easy-to-use deworming system designed for horse owners who prefer a year-round rotational program. ROTATION 2 (pyrantel pamoate) completes the rotational system. The ROTATION program alternates two compounds that are not chemically related, so there is no concern about parasites developing resistance.
