Horse Sense

If you or anyone you know owns horses, here is some great information.

A good friend of mine is a certified equine massage therapist.  She has seen some interesting things take place in various barns. 

For example some barns have a system where chemicals are sprayed on horses to reduce flies.  This Hmmm who else is the recipient of those chemicals?  Is it getting on their food as well?  What's the cost of those chemicals?

There are other ways.  America's Horse Daily says:  Feed-through fly-control products eliminate flies in manure by keeping fly eggs from hatching with an insect growth regulator. While the regulator is bad for flies, it won’t harm your horse.  If it's bad for flies, I question what it does to the horse?  They do have other suggestions.

What if you could provide a non-toxic, biodegradable, concentrated product that keeps flies away and yet doesn't harm the horse?  How about clinical studies that prove this product is safe for horses and horse owners, would that be important to you?  And if the cost was significantly less than what you are spending now, does that sound appealing? 

I'm not a horse owner, but George and Dede Shaw, owners of Show Place Farm, are.  Here's what they have to say about Basic H2 (the product I'm referring to) “For daily shampoo, we drop a half of a capful of Basic-H2 into two gallons of warm water. Their coats are cleaner, they aren't bothered by mosquitoes, and they're less susceptible to fungus infections. Flies appear to stay about 18-24" away from a horse who's been bathed in Basic-H2. When turning a horse out into a paddock or field, we mix a quart of Basic-H2 to 3 parts water and spray the entire animal. It controls flies and mosquitoes all day.”

Isn't about time to start using high end natural products that are safe for you, your horse, and the planet?

So stop "horsing around" and call Mary Beth  at 810-813-3308 to find out more.
