FITS Introduces Navy: "The New Black" for Fall 2008!
Fun In The Saddle, Inc. (FITS), makers of the most technical and innovative riding breeches and apparel on the market today, has added a new color, navy, to their original All Season FITS PerforMAXTM full seat breech line. FITS fans have been clamoring for new colors and the new navy is right on target. It reads blue, but is dark enough to function as (in fashion terms) “the new black.” Riders from all disciplines are choosing FITS breeches because of their comfort, support and overall technology advantages over other breeches.
FITS products are available at fine tack and riding stores and online through the FITS valued dealer network at www.FITSRiding.com. The new navy color will be available September, 2008. Remember, whatever your discipline, wear FITS for the ride of your life™.

Think Pink Chinks at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity!
The REIN IN CANCER campaign debuted at last year's National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity. Thanks to the generosity of exhibitors, owners and fans, the Think to Wear Pink Day sale of wristbands and silent auction items was a hit, raising a substantial amount for the battle against cancer.
In 2008, REIN IN CANCER returns to the Reno Livestock Events Center September 21 – October 5. This time, there will be more fundraising efforts, including a distinctive pair of chinks.
A specially designed set of commemorative chinks has been donated by Shorty's Caboy Hattery to be raffled off to benefit REIN IN CANCER at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity. Tickets will be available at the REIN IN CANCER/Shorty's Caboy Hattery booth on the concourse at the Snaffle Bit Futurity. Shorty's is also donating, for the second consecutive year, a special custom-made hat.

Amigo BugBuster Fly Sheet from Horseware Ireland and Buzz Off Manufacturing
Product review by Karen Pickering
The BugBuster fly sheet is a unique combination of protective clothing for your horse and a safe, effective fly repellant. The fabric is infused with Buzz Blocker, which is EPA registered to repel flies, ticks and mosquitos. The repellant is odorless, colorless, won't rub off on your horse, and stays effective through 25 washings.
The BugBuster sheet I tried fit very well and had a nice, smooth feel against my horse's skin. It's very resistant to damage and seems to keep the flies and bugs at bay—it even kept the flies away from April's face! The design makes it easy to take on and off. Lots of hooks, but it really stays where it belongs.
I do a lot of horse camping in the mountains, but even the high-altitude bugs didn't bother my horse in the least with the sheet in place. I would recommend this for anyone who wishes to keep flies away without using fly spray all the time.
