GASTROEASE EQ RESCUE PASTE
Picks
FE AT U RED PRO D U C TS
When your horse exhibits signs of gastric distress, GastroEase EQ Rescue paste can provide rapid relief when you need it most.
Loss of appetite, diarrhea, and colic are often symptoms of the stress of shipping and environment change. During a class, we’ve all experienced the horse show anxiety of our horses’ pre-event gastric jitters. Whether you are concerned about your horse’s gut health response during travel, showing or everyday training, one tube of GastroEase EQ Rescue will often settle a jittery or ulcery stomach, and stem the symptoms of mild colic, diarrhea or loss of appetite. Results are generally seen within 60 minutes after first administration. Pre-treat your horse an hour before showing or shipping to prevent GI issues and assure a comfortable horse during stressful events. For signs of distress or diarrhea, administer a syringe every 2 hours until he becomes comfortable. You should immediately consult your vet if your horse displays signs of colic. GastroEase EQ Rescue works quickly and effectively because it utilizes a proprietary spectrum of active ingredients that quickly address pain from gastric ulcers, probiotics to replace damaged gut flora and a host of soothing and coating ingredients that work immediately to relieve diarrhea and hinder gut irritation. Leading trainers in the Arabian industry like Joe and Michele Reser, Jim Stachowski and Christine and John Ryan, have found GastroEase EQ Rescue paste a great tool for managing their horses’ pre-event gastric comfort. GastroEase EQ is also available in a daily powder for total digestive maintenance.
LACTALEX If your horse exhibits back and muscle soreness from everyday training and showing, Lactalex supports optimal muscle function when it counts. Muscle tightness and soreness is a common ailment for performance horses with a strenuous work schedule. Lactalex is your complete solution for muscle fatigue and muscle metabolism because it uses a variety of ingredients that support healthy lactic acid levels and overall comfort. Lactalex supplies necessary nutrients for the formation of acetyl coenzyme A, a molecule that facilitates muscle activity and helps muscle release energy during exercise. The ingredient “PP1” soothes muscle soreness. Branch Chain Amino Acids support the return of muscles to pre-exercise condition after a tough workout, and Vitamin E and Selenium act as free radical scavengers to support the repair of damaged muscle cells after strenuous activity. Lactalex is available in a daily powder packet for muscle maintenance or a targeted paste for pre-performance treatment and post-performance recovery.

GREY HORSE CANDLE COMPANY Rooted in the Mountains of East Tennessee, Grey Horse Candle Company is a conglomeration of one girl’s obsession with horses, love for life on a farm, and passion for creating. Our mission is to share happiness and God’s love, and celebrate the beauty and joy that horses bring to our lives. “My love for my horse, Toby, inspired my idea to create candles for horse lovers like myself. I miss Toby so much when I am away from the barn (even though it is within walking distance to my house!), I wanted to create something to remind me of him when I couldn’t be with him, since bringing him into the house was definitely not going to be approved by my husband! So, I set out to capture some of my favorite things about horses in a jar!” ~ Kayla Stacy, owner

CUTTING-EDGE DESIGNS
Picks
FE AT U RED PRO D U C TS
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 the 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, fast buckle fender adjustment, and the latest innovation known as the flex fender. This fender shape makes turning the stirrup easier than ever before and takes all the pressure off 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.
OCEAN OAK This design uniquely made for the Arabian market, features a beautiful mahogany two-tone leather color, paired with genuine full quill ostrich accents. Each piece of leather is masterfully hand-tooled and each silver accent is hand-engraved to a brilliant shine. This carving pattern is called “Ocean Oak” and is characterized by free-flowing oak leaves sweeping throughout the saddle paired with a unique shell pattern. Harris decided to stray from traditional cornerplate designs with this saddle and instead opted for engraved silver scrollwork that sweeps along the skirt edge and around the cantle.
MOUNTAIN LAUREL This saddle, also designed for the Arabian market, is centered on a more traditional look with four oversize, 45 degree, cornerplates on each side and black striping with stainless steel studs surrounding each one. This saddle is hand-carved in an intricate floral pattern known as Mountain Laurel. The leather is stained to a beautiful mahogany shade with black undertones throughout. WWW.HARRISLEATHER.COM
