1. LACTALEX™

Because muscle condition and quick recovery from exercise are paramount to an Arabian’s athletic performance, top competitors supplement their horses with pre- and post-performance muscle support formulas such as Lactalex. Lactalex is ideal for use before performance for optimal muscle function and suppleness, and after performance to support muscle recovery. Not only does it contain ingredients that reduce lactic acid build-up, but Lactalex is highly effective because it contains BCAAs, Vitamin E with Selenium, and our proprietary all natural PP1 formula to provide needed relief of sore muscles and improve suppleness. Lactalex remains show safe while avoiding all prohibited substances, avoids ingredients that upset the GI tract, and is effective when used alone or safely stacked with veterinarian prescribed medications. Lactalex also gives you the choice of administration via powder or paste formulas.

2. PERFECT PREP EQ™ SANE & SOUND MAX PASTE

Focus support? Soundness support? Gastric support?

Check, check and check. Our popular Sane & Sound MAX paste offers a complete 3-in-1 solution for horses who may be prone to all three causes of equine anxiety: excitement, gastric upset and soreness.

Its ingredients offer significant focus support, gastrofriendly relaxing effects, and a “pathway to comfort.”

This long-lasting formula takes effect beginning 2-4 hours after administration and has the ability to be stacked with itself or other Perfect Prep EQ™ formulas for greater effect. Sane & Sound MAX offers unmatched support for Arabians who suffer from “stage fright” or become difficult in the show ring.

3. GASTROEASE EQ™ RESCUE PASTE

Sensitive horses who are reactive to their environments— such as Arabians—tend to display negative gastric symptoms when dealing with shipping or show conditions. It is not uncommon for Arabians to stop eating when a change in their environment occurs or when their sensitivity induces stress related gastric upset. Not only does GastroEase EQ™ Rescue address the effects of gastric stress, it also provides powerful probiotics, stabilizes acid levels and supports hindgut function, allowing horses to gain maximum benefit from their nutritional intake. One 60 cc syringe of GastroEase EQ™ Rescue prior to hauling or riding can ward off at-risk gastrointestinal tissues and maintain gastric comfort to ensure the most willing partner.

PRODUCT 1: HORSE HAIR ANALYSIS

Horse Hair Analysis® is a cutting edge lab test, thorough 15 page report and consultation with Dr. DePaolo. This, combined with the custom made HHA Personal Supplement, have become a revolutionary approach for owners, trainers, and veterinarians looking to help horses regain peak health and performance.

“Whenever I have a horse that isn’t living up to its potential, I recommend HHA to my customers because it is an effective tool in pinpointing nutritional issues and improving the condition of my horses.” - Sally Randle

PRODUCT 2: EXCEL

Excel™ is beneficial for the entire digestive system. It aides in lessening the discomfort from gastric upset and promotes the healing of ulcerated tissues.

The combination of natural ingredients encourages overall digestive health and allows for increased absorption of needed nutrients.

“To help keep the stress of training and showing from affecting my horses, I use Excel Digestive Supplement as a key part of my feed program. They don’t resist being cinched up, aren’t as tight and are more accepting of training. My horses are able to give me their best each ride.”

- Steven Scoggins, Long Meadow Arabians

PRODUCT 3: ESSENTIAL

Essential is a complete vitamin and mineral supplement which addresses the fundamental nutritional requirements of your horse. Every biological system of your horse needs the correct amount of these ingredients to work properly. Bio-available minerals help support musculoskeletal health, and coupled with the vitamins, promote healthy immune and neurologic function.

“We changed our feed program 3 years ago to what Dr. Mark recommends, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Essential is a key part of making our equine athletes look and perform at their best.” - Joe & Michele Reser

PRODUCT 4: ULCER RX

Changes in attitude, movement and body condition can be caused by ulcers. In as little as five days, an overly acidic stomach can result in mild to severe lesions of the stomach lining. UlcerRx uses a proprietary blend of Omeprazole, sodium bicarbonate and bismuth subsalicylate to reduce acid and help soothe ulcerated tissue. Prescription only.

“We put all of our horses on UlcerRx paste at shows because it is affordable and works great!”- LaRae Fletcher Powell Ar abian Horse Times | 37 | Volume 50, No. 4A A

Harris saddles are hand-made in North Carolina and feature the perfect combination of USA native leather and the finest sterling silver accents.

Each saddle is meticulously crafted to give the rider perfect balance, posture, and positioning in the saddle.

Harris’ attention to detail doesn’t just focus solely on looks. For years, the Harris name has been synonymous with cutting edge designs that increase the functionality and performance of the western saddle; innovations such as the close contact skirt design, the fast buckle fender adjustment, and the latest innovation ... the flex fender. This fender shape makes turning the stirrup easier than ever before and takes all the pressure off of the rider’s knees and ankles. Innovations such as these help ensure that Harris riders are always on the cutting edge and a step ahead of the competition.

This design uniquely made for the Arabian market, features a beautiful mahogany two-tone leather color, paired with hand-engraved sterling silver accents.

Each piece of leather is masterfully hand-tooled and each piece of silver provides a brilliant and lustrous shine.

Each detail in this design was carefully considered and masterfully crafted.

Many Harris saddles now feature a combination of natural hand-carved leather and a plethora of rich exotics in a variety of colors. This design is centered around rich mahogany genuine crocodile leather covering the top skirts of the saddle, paired with genuine ostrich leather on the bottom skirts. These exotic leathers are surrounded by oversize, 45 degree cornerplates with a unique raised square, three-dimensional design. Using a variety of genuine exotic leathers allows each Harris saddle to be different and helps ensure that every rider is unique in the show pen.

For more information about these designs or other in-stock or custom saddles, visit www.harrisleather.com.

Type “Arabian” in the search box on the homepage to view a selection of saddles made and sold exclusively to the Arabian market.
