It’s amazing how many products wind up in a horse owners stockpile, everything from wormers to fly sprays to shampoo.

Safety First

When choosing products, consider the health of everyone involved and when you can buy organic, natural and sustainable. In today’s chemical landscape no price is too dear to pay, lucky for us there are still good ones out there and their prices are reasonable.

It’s What’s Inside That Counts

Remember that we are all what we eat, GM products managed to sneak their way into our food so it should come as no surprise that it is in the food our animals eat too. Be sure to support the companies who are responsible with your horses food and stay updated about GM products within the horse industry.

Helpful Reading

Knowledge is power and the more you know the better. GM products have not been tested for long enough to determine their true side effects and have already been shown to cause infertility. Protect your animals from them.
