Equinity Performance Saddle Pad Technology Meets High Performance Standards

Baltimore, MD (March 3, 2010) -- Innovative materials used in Equinity Performance Pads, from Equinity Performance, LLC, provide outstanding comfort and protection for horses and riders. This state-of-the art material meets the high standards for shock absorbency and resilience for industries outside of horses – providing benefits in medical facilities, NASCAR and other high impact sports.
Equinity Performance Pads are created with a visco-elastic polymer material that excels in shock absorption. Unlike traditional foams or polymer padding that will collapse under impact, the Equinity Performance Pad will not fully compress or bottom-out. After the initial impact, the material instantly recovers and readies itself for the next impact. As the visco-elastic polymer material never fully compresses, it causes the impact to dissipate throughout the entire pad. The force is spread across a larger surface area, which allows only a minimal amount to directly hit under the impact zone.
“Medical institutes across the country trust the visco-elastic polymer material to protect pressure points during surgery and prevent bed sores for bed-ridden patients,” said Royce Evans, owner of Equinity Performance, LLC. “We have applied this same quality technology to the Equinity Performance Pads to give riders a similar peace of mind that their horses are receiving the best protection.”
Equinity Performance pads are resilient, withstanding multiple use without ever changing form. The properties that make up the visco-elastic polymer padding have an unsurpassed durability and strength compared to other foams that may tend to tear down rapidly and lose effectiveness. Unlike other gel products, the Equinity Performance Pad will not leak or bottom out and can be customized to size without compromising its performance qualities.
Keeping saddle pads clean can present challenges in any barn. The Equinity Performance Pads are easy to clean and features an anti-fungal agent that helps prevent bacterial growth. Equinity Performance Pads can be cleaned with any standard equipment cleaner that does not contain alcohol. If alcohol is present, it should be diluted with water. Wet, cold sterilization works best. Any residue from cleaning products should be rinsed with cold water.
Equinity Performance Pads do not contain silicone, latex or plasticizer. The pads can also be heated to 120 degrees or cooled to 20 degrees Fahrenheit for additional therapeutic benefit.
“Riders and trainers trust that the material we use on our products makes the Equinity Performance Pads versatile, lightweight and reliable,” said Evans. “After completing our first AETA International Tradeshow in February, we are excited about new opportunities to expand the use of the visco-elastic polymer material to further enhance the performance benefits for horse and rider.”
Equinity Performance, LLC is dedicated to improving horses’ performance and creating a more comfortable experience for riders at all levels and riding disciplines. All Equinity Performance therapeutic saddle pads are manufactured in the USA with progressive technology that benefits both the horse and rider.

Downunder Horsemanship Presents Fundamentals Series

Experience horsemanship like never before with Downunder Horsemanship’s Fundamentals series. It’s Clinton Anderson’s signature Method with a new system and improved techniques.

Downunder Horsemanship has released its latest innovation – a new structure to learning the Clinton Anderson Method of training horses. The Method is now divided into four progressive levels of instruction: Fundamentals, Intermediate, Advanced and Professional.

The newly packaged Fundamentals series features not only training DVDs, but detailed Arena Mates and a comprehensive Philosophy Book as well. “In order to help people progress faster and build a better partnership with their horses, I’ve redesigned the format in which my training method is presented,” Clinton explains. “The revamping of the Downunder Horsemanship Method came straight from my customers. People were often confused about where to begin when first starting the program.” With the comprehensive Fundamentals series, all the guesswork is gone; you’ll know exactly where to start, and exactly where to progress to.

One of the benefits to the restructuring of the Method is that the levels are specifically designed to follow the progression of Clinton’s horsemanship clinics. If you attend a Fundamentals clinic, you can expect to follow the format and cover the exact exercises that are included in the Fundamentals series. The same applies to the Intermediate and Advanced series. This will make it very easy to identify which level of clinic you and your horse are qualified for, based on your progression through the Method.

The first thing you’ll notice about the new series is its depth of instruction and just how accessible the information is. If you’re like Clinton, you’re a firm believer that you can never stop adding to your knowledge. Driven by innovation, the Aussie horseman never settles for mediocre and the new learning system is a testament to that fact. The Fundamentals series features improvements to his signature Method and a tweaked exercise order to get more out of your equine partner and help you progress at a faster rate. Previously, the program has been laid out through Round Penning, Gaining Respect and Control on the Ground Series 1, 2 and 3, and Riding with Confidence Series 1, 2 and 3. If you are familiar with these series, you will notice that the new format will be similar, but adjusted by changing the order of the exercises and even adding, subtracting and combining certain exercises in order to fine-tune the Method to make it as efficient and thorough as possible. “My guarantee to my customers is that I’ll never stop learning or making improvements,” Clinton says. “It’s been six years since I’ve filmed my first set of training videos and in that time, I’ve found ways to improve the Method and make it more accessible to the average horse owner.”

Newest Breyer Horse model features American Paint Horse

FORT WORTH, Texas – One of the American Paint Horse Association’s most highly decorated show horses, Fleetstreet Max, has been immortalized as Breyer horse model No. 1135 as part of the company’s 2010 Spring Collection. The overo gelding, known as “Max” is owned, trained and shown by Alisa Bernhard and was bred by her mother Sue Bernhard, both of Fieldstone Farms in Germantown, Wis. The first official model recently arrived at the farm.
Alisa’s unwavering faith in Max held strong when, in his two-year-old year, several professional trainers told her he would never make an all-around horse. Just a teenager herself, Alisa took over as his trainer and the pair undoubtedly proved them wrong, amassing an extensive show record together earning multiple APHA world and reserve world championships in seven different disciplines including working hunter, hunt seat equitation, equitation over fences, hunter hack, western horsemanship, trail and western riding. They also made APHA history in 2008 by achieving the most world championships earned, 18 total (now 21). Their accomplishments also include five APHA World Show all-around titles and more than 9,000 APHA show points.
According to Breyer, the model of Fleetstreet Max will be available in stores in early March 2010 and online at breyerhorses.com, as well as for sale at the BreyerFest event in July in Lexington, Ky. Alisa and Max have been asked to make a special appearance at the event including debuting the replica as one of the company’s portrait models and making a celebrity appearance to sign the models and let attendees meet Max.
“We are thrilled and honored that Reeves International (Breyer) has selected Fleetstreet Max to be one of their 2010 portrait models,” said breeder Sue Bernhard. “We have always believed that Max is unique and very special, and it’s nice to know that others share our feelings. Max is a great ambassador for APHA, because he truly is a “model” of the Paint breed’s versatility. Alisa is really looking forward to bringing Max to BreyerFest. She collected over 50 Breyer models as a child and always dreamed of attending the event, but never imagined she'd be there to showcase the real-life inspiration for one of the portrait models! Thank you, Max, and thank you, Breyer!”
Stephanie Macejko, Vice President of Marketing at Breyer Animal Creations commented, “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to recognize Fleetstreet Max as a Breyer portrait model. His many accomplishments show his quality, and he is clearly a wonderful representative for the American Paint Horse.”
Over the years, Breyer has depicted several notable American Paint Horses with models including Colonels Smokingun, Like A Diamond, Rugged Painted Lark, Big Chex To Cash, Sacred Indian, Mister Mister, Silky Keno, Yellow Mount, Sam I Am, Leahs Fancy Chick, Wahoo King and now Fleetstreet Max.
“Each of these horses is highly accomplished and the American Paint Horse Association is proud to have our breed recognized by Breyer,” said Lex Smurthwaite, Executive Director of the American Paint Horse Association. “Fleetstreet Max is an exceptional Paint horse. We are so proud to have this horse honored and placed in the rankings of the many great horses celebrated by Breyer over the years. He is well deserving of the honor and we congratulate the Bernhard family.”

JB No Chew; Stops horses, livestock, and other animals from chewing!

Durvet, Inc. is pleased to announce they are now a national distributor for JB No Chew. JB No Chew is a chewing deterrent developed by a rancher and cutting horse man named John Baldwin. John bought a ranch from a prominent Houston physician. The property has rolling pastures with huge 100 year oaks scattered throughout. John moved his stock to the ranch and as time passed, his horses began to destroy the beautiful 100 year old oak trees. John was soon losing trees at an alarming rate. He tried every product at his disposal to no avail.
JB No Chew was developed out of necessity: a need to save, heal and protect these precious trees. This new product not only had to save, heal and protect, but it also had to stand up to nature's elements. John went to work on research and development. Through John's determination, a new product was invented. JB No Chew's UV ray and water resistant properties allow it to provide long lasting protection when exposed to nature's elements. JB No Chew's high bonding strengths and elastomeric properties allow it to adhere to a variety of surfaces while remaining functional. JB No Chew has been used to protect healthy and wounded trees, fencing, pipes, electrical wiring and a vast variety of other property.
This product worked so well on his own trees, that word soon got out. Friends and neighbors alike were clamoring for John’s new solution for the age old problem of “CHEWING.” John soon had to produce it on a larger scale to meet the growing demand. The demand for JB No Chew soon became more time consuming than John’s construction business would allow. John knew JB No Chew could help so many people and horses if proper time and efforts could be afforded, so he sold JB No Chew to the family of KernAg.
JB No Chew had a phenomenal reputation as a chew deterrent with consistent but limited sales. JB No Chew had never been advertised, not even in the local papers. KernAg has launched a nationwide ad campaign targeting the equine industry through television, print, and web media.
The JB No Chew commercial currently airs during the television shows “Equestrian Nation” and “Cowboy Flavor” on the television station RFD TV. “Equestrian Nation” is the number one equine based show on RFDTV and is hosted by six time NFR All Around Champion and rodeo legend, Larry Mahan. There will be a full segment airing late March to early April introducing the product on “Equestrian Nation.” The segment was shot on location in Las Vegas during the NFR with, long time friends, Larry Mahan and John Baldwin. This segment will take viewers from JB No Chew’s conception to its application. Regular commercial airings on “Equestrian Nation” and “Cowboy Flavor” run throughout the week on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The commercial can be seen in its entirety at www.jbnochew.com by simply clicking on the RFD TV logo on the lower left side of the home page..

FORTITUDETM Critical Care for Foals and Weanlings Experiencing Digestive Stress and Diarrhea

Lebanon, PA, USA – (February 23, 2010) Kauffman’s Animal Health, a leader in the equine and animal health industry for over 30 years, has formulated FORTITUDETM Critical Care, a premium digestive supplement, for foals and weanlings experiencing digestive stress and diarrhea. Horses are constantly challenged by a host of pathogenic bacteria that enter the gastrointestinal tract. Foals and weanlings are particularly susceptible to the ill effects of these pathogens. Furthermore, foals and weanlings seem to lack the same digestive capacity of mature horses and may not utilize the feedstuffs they consume as efficiently.

FORTITUDETM Critical Care has been formulated specifically to enhance both aspects of digestive function – increase digestive efficiency and improve protection of the gut against harmful effects of bacterial and viral pathogens.

FORTITUDETM Critical Care provides optimal balance of the microflora of the equine gastrointestinal tract by using the highest quality direct-fed microbials. Active, dry-cell yeast, beneficial bacteria, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) and digestive enzymes have been uniquely combined with our dried egg yolk technology to create a multi-faceted product designed to stabilize the equine digestive tract and provide protection against specific harmful bacterial and viral pathogens that lead to digestive upset.

FORTITUDETM Critical Care is available in an easy-to-use powder. Simply blend the powder with vegetable oil, skim milk or plain yogurt, load oral dose syringe (included in the canister) and administer orally. Likewise, the highly palatable powder can be conveniently top-dressed over daily feed for young horses. In addition to FORTITUDETM Critical Care, Kauffman’s Animal Health also offers a complete line of equine and canine supplements. For more information on FORTITUDETM Critical Care or any of our other products, please visit our website at www.ka-hi.com or call 1 800-332-5244.

Footing Solutions USA introduces the new All-weather arena base construction with HIT-Draingrid

"Footing Solutions USA introduces the new All-weather arena base construction with HIT-Draingrid, the innovative permeable arena base technology. Using the HIT-Drangrid, a major part of the aggregates normally needed to build a common arena base
is being eliminated. The outdoor sub-base preparation uses only gravel layers for optimum drainage - for indoor application this layer is not necessary. The result is a perfectly compacted, permeable and elastic arena base.


The HIT Draingrid also comes with an optional sub-terranean water drip line, so the footing is being watered from the ground up.
This has the advantage that the footing is getting even moisture, saves 50% of the water usage compared to overhead sprinklers.


Just finish off the footing with quality sand and SoillTex sand additive, synthetic felt and fibers for stability and high elasticity in the footing.

Ground-Breaking Odor-No-MoreTM Delivers a Serious Solution to Age-Old Problem

Irvine, Calif. -- Ever since horses have been kept in stalls, horse owners have been adding to, and then mucking out, large quantities of bedding in a futile attempt to reduce the odor and moisture in these stalls.

Horse owners know first-hand how expensive it can be and that even “good” bedding cannot do the job. The solution to this age-old problem has finally arrived in Odor-No-MoreÔ, which just launched its award-winning super-absorbent product proven to lower costs and totally eliminate odor and moisture, reduce flies and promote hoof health to create a cleaner, dryer, safer and healthier stall.

BioLargo, Inc.’s (Symbol: BLGO) line of Odor-No-More™ products help owners tackle the many unpleasant and unhealthy consequences of urine in horse stalls and trailers.

“Until now, available stall additives did not help much,” says Joe Provenzano, creator of Odor-No-More™. “With Odor-No-More™, you can see and smell the results in minutes.”

Odor-No-More™ is proven to reduce the amount of bedding consumed by up to 75%. Flies disappear as a result of eliminating all odors that horse owners and horses breathe. Horse hooves are in better condition and the soil in the stall is amended to retain and absorb liquid. Amazingly, no removal required.

Here is how Odor-No-More™ works: take a handful of Odor-No-More™ and place it where your horse urinates. The urine is quickly absorbed. All unpleasant odors are immediately eliminated. Horses no longer step into puddles of urine. Flies no longer congregate. Hoofs remain clean and dry, and the horse is healthier. Cleanup and removal is as simple as putting on a pair of boots.

After years without innovation in this category of products, Odor-No-More™ immediately took center stage with its launch this past year. It received a Best New Products Award at SuperZoo (the pet industry’s largest show) and was rapidly picked up by major suppliers and retail locations, including O.H. Kruse and Sons and Star Milling, both feed producers, along with Jeffers Equine and Dover Saddlery, the industries largest catalog and online retailers of equine products.

At a recent EquineAffair in Massachusetts, Tom Seay witnessed a demonstration of Odor-No-More™ and was amazed by how quickly and effectively the product worked. On the spot, he decided to feature the product on the show he hosts, Best of America By Horseback, on RFD-TV. The spotlight is scheduled to air in early 2010 on more than 600 cable networks and satellite providers in 14 countries.

Through its quick acceptance in the horse industry, Odor-No-More™ has also proven to be a huge money saver for stable owners. The management at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center in California (HCPEC) testifies to the monthly savings from using Odor-No-More™. In its toughest stall, the center saved more than $300 per month. After conducting an on-site trial and witnessing the remarkable benefits of Odor-No-More™, HCPEC decided to adopt the product for use throughout their entire 460-stall facility.

Odor-No-More is a bedding and product sponsor of The Red Bucket Equestrian Rescue, which operates out of HCPEC. Helping lower the cost of care for rescued horses makes the savings even more critical.

Odor-No-More™ began with Provenzano, who was raised on a horse ranch in Northern California and has tended horses his entire life. As a lifelong horse owner, working cattle, active in 4H showing horses and amateur rodeo, he has experienced the cost and labor involved with caring for horses.

“Before we introduced Odor-No-More™, horse owners just lived with all these expensive and messy problems,” Provenzano says. “When we discovered that we could cut monthly costs so drastically and deliver all these great benefits, we knew we could transform the way our horses are stalled changing the industry forever.”

He worked closely with customers and equine professionals, including Jack Van Berg, the legendary Hall of Fame thoroughbred trainer, to create the ideal product for horses. They mucked a lot of stalls. Through several formulations and extensive testing to reach perfection, Odor-No-More™ was born.

“I was excited about the product from the beginning,” Van Berg says. “In my 50+ years training the best horses and winning the biggest races, I have never seen a product more effective.”

With Odor-No-More, soil in the stall is amended to absorb liquids, wicking urine away from horses’ feet creating quality footing. Additionally, the product uses micro-nutrients for odor elimination. These are the same micro-nutrients supplied in feed supplements as well as curative products for many common hoof ailments.

“I use fewer shavings in the stall and trailer because of Odor-No-More and that has saved us a lot of money and time,” says Shelly Martin, NCHA 1995 World Champion. “The industry has been waiting for a product like this.”

“Of the more than nine million horses in the U.S., we estimate more than half are stalled with bedding,” Provenzano says. “Before Odor-No-More™, our average customer was spending $100 or more per month per horse in bedding alone. This multi-billion dollar industry segment was desperate for innovation to reduce consumption and disposal.”

BioLargo, Inc. is all about making a difference in the world with its patented and patent pending technology, and Provenzano recognized a way to do just that in the horse industry. It goes beyond just great products. It’s about getting directly involved, and Provenzano became involved with The Red Bucket Equine Rescue in its infancy.

“Saving money means more resources to rescue and rehabilitate more horses,” he says. “The rescue industry is the saving grace for many horses. The amount of good a rescue can do is limited by financial support and keeping costs in line without sacrificing quality of care.”

Provenzano recently adopted Cooper, a three-year-old Blue Roan Quarter Horse, one of the many horses rescued by the Red Bucket Equine Rescue.

As the man behind Odor-No-More™, Provenzano has been diligently working with BioLargo’s upcoming 2010 launch of www.Horsesaver.org to help fund rescues. The program provides a practical way for companies that make their money from the horse and to give back to the horse by contributing a percentage of the proceeds from their product sales to help fund equine rescues across the country.

“We currently have multiple manufacturers and suppliers onboard,” Provenzano says. “HorseSaver.org is unique in the way customers have the ability to direct money to their favorite rescue. We have a real shot at making a significant difference. Our goal is to provide financial support to every equine rescue in the country, funded by the sales of an array of high quality products through horsesaver.org.

EQUINISITY - THE MOVIE RE-DISCOVERING THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. EXPERIENCE A HEALING JUST BY WATCHING!

A LIFE CHANGING MESSAGE OF ONENESS AND LOVE FOUND WHEN WE RE-CONNECT WITH THE INNOCENCE AND WONDER OF OUR INNER CHILD.

Whether you spend your life with horses or have always wanted to know one, experience an incomparable spiritual journey with real footage of participants from all over the world in the E.A.R.T.H. (Equine Assisted Re-connective Therapy and Healing) program at Gateway 2 Ranch Imagine a land where love is the guiding principle, where one’s consciousness and connection to Earth is the ultimate goal. A land where miracles are commonplace and spontaneous healings, connections, and a clear understanding of one’s life journey are natural occurrences.

Come experience Gateway 2 Ranch in British Columbia, Canada, home to crystals, vortexes, and natural flora and fauna as well as author Liz Mitten Ryan, her husband, and their sixteen horses, dogs, cats and Tesoro the steer. In this pristine setting, all things properly align for the highest earthly vision human beings can possibly experience.

Here, the free-roaming herd shares the barn/house with Liz and Kevin. Born to this paradise, the horses are loved and treated as family. Indeed, the animals of Gateway 2 Ranch have co-authored Liz’s four award-winning books. The four books have garnered nine Independent Publishing awards. As a result, visitors come from around the world to seek the healing connection with higher consciousness this land and animals facilitate.

In the pristine grassland, lakes, and forests of Gateway, the horses interact at liberty, sharing their healing gifts and teaching the subjects of truth and intuitive connection.

Five exclusive workshops in the summer of 2010 will offer individual attention to eight participants per session. This all-inclusive experience in “Manifesting our Heart’s Desires” will illuminate your life and personal journey forever. Facilities at Gateway 2 Ranch include a spirit lodge and spirit quest wall tents.

Some Testimonials:
I first met Liz two years ago after I was diagnosed with cancer. When I visited the ranch and spent time quietly with the herd, it was the most important decision I have ever made. I began to experience the most incredible (and at the time frightening) symptoms that told me I was healing right there in their midst. A month later I went for new tests and was told that there was no sign of the tumor I had previously been told was likely fatal.
Carol Upton
“I found this vision quest workshop to be the most "complete life altering /awareness awakening experience" , giving me such physical and spiritual freedom that I can not help but move forward in my life to fulfill my God Given life purpose. Living all my dreams and desires with pure passion. Thank you Liz, and Gateway 2 for this one of a kind gift.”
Love + Light
Michele'
“…it becomes so crystal clear upon "returning to normal" that the lessons from G2 are going to continue to unfold....almost daily I want to run back and say "OMG I get it!" I know the friends made (human, animal, spirit and nature), the lessons learned, and my profoundly changed way of walking on this earth will be with me always as a result of my time at G2.”
Gina Morro

I have had two compressed discs, complete with permanent bruising and consequent suffering with constant back pain for twelve years. All this has completely disappeared through the EARTH healing experience at Gateway 2 Ranch.
Susan Burgess

“Gateway 2 Ranch is a magical adventure playground for the soul!”
XXX Jane Reid

An exquisite experience allowing one to escape their own reality yet bringing you closer to not only your true self but to the consciousness of the earth of which we are all one.
Shawn Hamilton

I am sixty-nine and had a very old neck and knee injury. Both disappeared through the healing sessions at these life changing workshops.

FDA Approves Pfizer Animal Health’s EXCEDE® (Ceftiofur Crystalline Free Acid) Sterile Suspension for Horses

LAS VEGAS – February 15, 2010 – Pfizer Animal Health today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved EXCEDE® Sterile Suspension as the first safe and effective, long-acting antibiotic formulation licensed for horses. EXCEDE Sterile Suspension is the newest addition to Pfizer Animal Health’s extensive portfolio of equine products backed by scientific research and innovation in the field of equine medicine.
EXCEDE Sterile Suspension is indicated for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in horses caused by susceptible bacterial strains of Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus. EXCEDE acts as a sustained release product that offers an extended duration of action with fewer injections compared to other antibiotic treatments on the market. The low risk of side effects and proven efficacy and safety in an extended release formulation make EXCEDE for horses a true innovation. Veterinarians administer two intramuscular injections to affected horses 4 days apart. Therapeutic drug concentrations against Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus are maintained for a total of 10 days from the initiation of treatment.
“EXCEDE Sterile Suspension has been used by veterinarians for many years with great success in cattle and swine,” said Dr. Thomas Lenz, Senior Director, Equine Veterinary Services. “Pfizer Animal Health is excited to be able to offer this safe and effective antibiotic for treatment in horses in just two doses for a full course of therapy.”
EXCEDE Sterile Suspensions is a cephalosporin antibiotic in the form of Ceftiofur Crystalline Free Acid. Ceftiofur, like other β-lactam antimicrobials, exerts a bactericidal effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This interference is due primarily to covalent binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential for synthesis of the bacterial wall. After intramuscular injection, ceftiofur is released from the crystalline form in oil over time, and then rapidly metabolized to desfuroylceftiofur, the primary active metabolite. Ceftiofur is the only cephalosporin approved for use in horses and is known for its low toxicity and high margin of safety.
New market research from Pfizer Animal Health shows that 1 in 4 horse owners and caretakers are not fully compliant.1 A number of horse owners feel that trying to administer oral or injectable medications negatively impacts their relationship with the horse. With only two required doses, EXCEDE Sterile Suspension makes it easy for horse owners and veterinarians to fully complete treatment, while causing minimal stress to the horse.
“Using EXCEDE as recommended ensures optimal safety and efficacy for treatment.” said Dr. Lenz. “A long-acting antimicrobial will allow equine veterinarians to achieve optimal compliance with minimal dosing, a true innovation compared to current therapeutic regimens.”

Important Safety Information: As with all drugs, the use of EXCEDE Sterile Suspension is contraindicated in animals with known allergy to ceftiofur or to the β-lactam group (penicillins and cephalosporins) of antimicrobials. Do not use EXCEDE in horses intended for human consumption. The administration of antimicrobials in horses under conditions of stress may be associated with diarrhea, which may require appropriate veterinary therapy. Though safe in cattle when properly administered, inadvertent intra-arterial injection is possible and fatal. EXCEDE has a pre-slaughter withdrawal time of 13 days in cattle. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. For complete details, refer to the full prescribing information at http://www.EXCEDE.com/PI.

For more information on EXCEDE Sterile Suspension visit www.Excede.com. Pfizer Animal Health, a business of Pfizer Inc., is a world leader in discovering and developing innovative animal prescription medicines and vaccines, investing an estimated $300 million annually in animal health product research and development. Pfizer Animal Health’s industry-leading U.S. equine product portfolio now includes a wide range of biologics, parasiticides and sedatives / analgesics trusted by veterinarians, including many from Fort Dodge.

New Logo and Focus on the Manna Pro Brand are Direct Result of Extensive Consumer Research.

Chesterfield, Mo. – Trusted animal nutrition manufacturer Manna Pro has launched a new corporate logo and brand identity which reflect the modern values of its primary customer base. The new Manna Pro logo and tagline, Nurturing Life, were introduced at the company’s national sales meeting on January 25, attended by Manna Pro’s management team, regional sales people and production facility staff. It was rolled out to customers February 1. New packaging for Manna Pro’s products will begin appearing as early as April, and a new corporate web site is expected to launch later in 2010.

Manna Pro produces high-quality animal nutrition and care products for a broad range of animals. Its largest group of products is geared to horses, but the company also produces feed for goats, chickens, cows, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and birds. Manna Pro’s product lines primarily serve the “lifestyle farmer” market – people who own acreage with farm animals, and operate their farms as a hobby rather than a business.

According to Manna Pro President John Howe, product innovation, consistently high quality and excellent service are keys to the company’s continued growth. “Our customers seek trusted, effective products that help them nurture and care for their animals,” Howe says. “When they see the Manna Pro name, they know they are buying a product that was developed with their animals’ best interests in mind.” Howe says the company places great importance on the nutritional value of its products, and customers recognize the difference. “Our products appeal to people who view their animals not as merely livestock, but as a part of their lifestyle and even as a part of their family.”

Manna Pro’s new logo and tagline were developed by Shaw Company, a St. Louis advertising agency. Shaw Company repositioned the Manna Pro corporate logo into a brand name and marketing platform that has a stronger emotional connection to its customer’s lifestyles. The logo’s “morning barn sunrise,” green and blue waves and new logo type is designed to remind its current and future customers that Manna Pro is committed to making products that nurture their "open air" lifestyle. That sentiment is presented literally in the new tagline: Nurturing Life. Shaw Company says the net result will help unify the entire Manna Pro product line into a cohesive family of products that simply and effectively delivers on the brand promise of nurturing life.

Jennifer Hojnacki, Marketing Director for Manna Pro, says the new corporate positioning represents a departure from Manna Pro’s past branding, which focused more on individual product lines. “By launching a new logo for our corporate brand, we bring all of our products under one umbrella that speaks to how consumers live and feed their animals today,” she says. “We are excited to roll out this new identity that so effectively summarizes the direction our company is headed in, while still respecting our long heritage in animal nutrition.”

The internal roll-out of the new brand included the presentation of a 2-minute video which is accessible in two file formats at www.mannapro.com.

About Manna Pro Products
Manna Pro has long been a trusted name in the animal nutrition industry. Respected products – including the company’s signature brand, Calf-Manna®, the Super Horse® line of feeds, and Apple Wafers – have been used by discriminating horse owners for decades. Manna Pro is one of the largest private companies in the St. Louis region, ranking No. 142 in the St. Louis Business Journal’s most recent listing. In 2009, it had sales of $85 million.

Manna Pro has a staff of 170, including 30 people at its Chesterfield headquarters. For more information about Manna Pro or any of the fine products it manufactures, please visit www.mannapro.com.

Draper Equine Therapy Introduces New and Improved Anti-Sweat Sheet For Horses

Canton, MA (February 8, 2010) – Draper Equine Therapy, makers of therapeutic horse and rider products, has improved their Draper Equine Therapy Anti-Sweat Sheet that is designed to wick away body moisture and combat stiffness and soreness. Horse owner’s everywhere are praising the improvements of the new and improved anti-sweat sheet, which is still lightweight but now has the strength of a scrim sheet with added colored binding along the spine to reinforce the fabric.

“We ask for feedback on our products whether it is good or bad because we truly want to have the best products on the market,” said Kat Wojtylak, Product Manager at Draper Therapies. “We listened to our customers and found that our anti-sweat sheet needed to be strengthened as many horse owners want to use it as a scrim.”

Draper recommends that the anti-sweat sheet be used while a horse is standing, whether on the crossties or before stepping foot into a class. “The anti-sweat sheet is a pretty unique and wonderful product. You'll find that after a bath or heavy workout, your horse will dry much faster with the use of the anti-sweat sheet,” Wojtylak said. “The anti-sweat sheet carries the same properties that our other products carry and helps increase circulation, regulate body temperature and reduce pain which can all lead to lessened warm up time and better muscle recovery.”

Draper customers have also called the company to report that the anti-sweat sheet works great while trailering horses as it stabilizes body temperature and helps combat body fatigue. “The horses aren’t sweaty and come off the trailer loose and limber, a huge feat when you’re traveling to shows or long distances,” Wojtylak said.

Draper products, such as the anti-sweat sheet, are made with Celliant™/Holofiber® that has been clinically proven to help reduce pain, increase oxygen levels and help balance overall body temperature. Draper Equine Therapy produces saddle pads, indoor and outdoor blankets, bandages and wraps. Products for riders include T-shirts, socks, blankets, joint support sleeves/wraps, and back belts. In addition, they offer a line of home therapy and spa products including sleep liners, eye pillows, shoulder wraps and blankets.

“Inspired by the active Western lifestyle, our spring 2010 Ariat Denim collection utilizes modern washes, premium fabrics and innovative details for Ariat’s take on jeans,” said Megan Iwersen, Ariat’s vice president of apparel. “We created a versatile jean that works just as well in the saddle as it does out to dinner.”

Among Ariat Denim’s features are:
100% cotton ring-spun denim
Comfort inseams
Anchored belt loops, plus men’s patent-pending “Loop Lock” reinforced rear belt loop
“True Fit” waistband
Heavy-duty zippers and hardware
