Horizon Structures Offers Horse Rescue Donation with Every Sale

Horizon Structures is beginning an innovative new program, called “Horizon Cares About Horses,” that will donate $25 from the sale of every horse barn or run-in shed to a horse rescue organization of the customer’s choice. 

“We wanted to do something for horses and the people that have supported us all these years, and this is really a win-win situation for everyone involved,” says the company’s owner, Dave Zook.

 

Once an order is paid in full, $25 will be added to the tally of that customer’s chosen rescue. In December 2009, Horizon Structures will mail out checks to all groups that have accumulated monies throughout the year. If rescue groups wish to promote this program as a fundraiser, Horizon will gladly provide free brochures or other sales support. In return for all this, Horizon Structures merely requests a link on the rescue group’s website.

For more information, please contact Jill Siragusa at 888-447-4337 or info@horizonstructures.com. Learn more about Horizon Structures' products at www.horizonstructures.com.

Equine Nutrition’s TriFecta 3 in 1

Product review by Karen Pickering

I recently started supplementing with Equine Nutrition's TriFecta 3 in 1, and have already found it so palatable that my mare, April, will eat it by itself. The packaging is very convenient with a resealable closure for freshness and an included measuring scoop.

The most noticeable benefit I've seen so far is the disappearance of the rings in April's hoof. Even over the short period I've been using the product, the rings are disappearing with each trim (two since I started supplementing). The little extra “bloom” in her eye and winter coat is definitely noticeable. 

The science behind the product is solid. Developer Del Johnson was a pioneer in bringing organic selenium to the marketplace. Equine Nutrition introduced TriFecta in 2005 to combine nutraceuticals for hoof and joint health with probiotics and a vitamin-mineral supplement for the first time in one product. 

Equine Nutrition’s products are pharmaceutical grade, which means they are the highest quality available to our equine partners. This is truly a product that addresses the needs of our horses in the Northwest.

A Natural Foundation: The Complete 10 DVD Set

Review by Karyn "K.C." Cowdrey

Jonathan Field’s A Natural Foundation is a complete ground and riding how-to guide. From the beginning, Field’s DVD series takes you step by step through how to become an effective leader and strong communicator with your horse.

Throughout the series, Field shows as well as clearly explains on not only how to achieve a desired result--like your horse moving off of pressure--but why it is important and why you don’t want to try to skip steps.

The groundwork series flows cleanly and logically into the riding series. Throughout both, Field does a great job of covering the most effective ways to communicate with the horse, reminding us that consistency and having fun are keys to success.

This set is a good value for the amount of information covered. Basically, it is a clinic in a box for those who can’t attend in person. Learn more at www.jonathanfield.net.
