On the Go
Dover Saddlery is now offering the Whip Clip by Dos Equine. The Whip Clip is a convenient way to hold on to an unneeded whip or bat while still mounted, eliminating the need to drop a whip, leave it behind, or stick it in a boot. Simply slide the Whip Clip onto a tall boot or half chap and insert the whip into place. According to manufacturers, the whip can be easily removed with one hand, allowing the rider to maintain contact on the reins.

A Multi-Tasker
The makers of Horse Fly Net introduce new uses for their popular netting. First comes Compost Cover, a net that can be placed over a pile of manure, which expedites the decomposition process by letting air and water pass through the net to help keep the interior temperature at 140 degrees. The net also creates a barrier to flies.
Another product called Hay-Shade protects hay from sun and weather bleaching, but it is porous enough to allow the hay to breathe. It also protects against birds.
Feed Fusion
Masterfeeds, Inc., announces the launch of Fusion, a high fat and fiber feed. The feed is formulated with an elevated level of fiber calories, as well as a seven-percent fat content derived from all-vegetable sources. The feed is designed for equine athletes with a reduced level of starches and sugars.
Fusion also contains flax for Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin E, Alltech Bioplex trace minerals, and Yea-Sacc 1026, which works as a digestive aid and gut stabilizer.
Use the Force
Alltech introduced Lifeforce Formula at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event. The formula is a once-a-day natural nutritional supplement designed for all horses at every stage of life. According to the manufacturers, Lifeforce helps create an ideal digestive environment, maintain peak body and muscular condition, improve hoof health and coat condition and promote overall healthy growth. The supplement is available in 5-kilo pails, which provide a 90-day supply.
Spa for All
Aloe Advantage introduces Big & Sexy Tail Scrub. The scrub exfoliates and moisturizes using sea salt with essential oils that lift dry and dead skin cells from the crest of the horse’s mane and from the base to the dock of the horse’s tail. Big & Sexy Tail Scrub comes in a lemon grass formula so the user benefits, too.

Safe-Fence Electric System
Using 1-1/2" Polytape, Safe-Fence is more visible to horses than traditional wire fencing. The additional UV inhibitors significantly reduce deterioration from the sun, even in desert areas. Safe-Fence is the only Polytape with a 20-year warranty and is available in 200' or 825' rolls.
