Breeder's Choice Announces New Single Leg Hydraulic Phantom Product

Rochester Hills, MI - Breeder's Choice, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the new equine Single Leg Hydraulic Breeding Phantom, expanding their line of breeding dummy products. A completely self contained hydraulically actuated product, the Single Leg Breeding Phantom requires only a single hole in the breeding shed for installation. The product is battery powered and offers more than 30 inches of travel to accommodate nearly every stallion. All equipment is safely contained inside the body of the phantom, significantly saving installation time in any breeding shed or facility.

With the Single Leg Breeding Phantom, the Breeding Manager has complete control of the dummy height prior to, and during the collection process. Minor, quiet, push-of-a -button height adjustments can be made to the phantom to accommodate all sized stallions.

This enables a stress free dismount for the stallion, saving stress on the stallion's knees and hind quarters. The Single Leg Breeding Phantom is offered with the same great accessories as the industry leading Two Leg Breeding Phantom, including leather and fleece covers with or without hips, bite bar, and optional contoured body shape. The Single Leg Breeding Phantom has been tested and approved by The Equine Reproduction Lab at Colorado State University, currently installed and their preferred breeding dummy.

GoPass® 6 - Month Equine "Passport" Certificate Launched in Georgia

Ames, IA - April 19th, 2013 -- GlobalVetLINK (GVL®), introduces an electronic six-month equine passport health certificate that may be a substitute for the existing paper-based, 30-day electronic Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (eCVI) health certificate. GlobalVetLINK is excited to launch the GoPass® 6-Month Electronic Passport System for the Georgia horse industry.

Veterinarians in the state of Georgia are approved to issue GoPass certificates for horses entering Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The horses may travel to all 13 states, plus Georgia, on one GoPass. The user-friendly, point and click functionality of creating an electronic GoPass certificate makes it a more efficient method than the traditional hand-written, 30-day certificate or the paper-based equine passport option.

Georgia GoPass Guidelines:
• The horse must have a current GVL eCVI in the system (created within the past 30 days).
• The horse must have a current GVL EIA Certificate in the system (created within the past 12 months).
• GoPass Certificates are submitted to the Georgia Department of Agriculture for approval and made available to the client's veterinarian after they are electronically signed by a State Animal Health Official.
• Owners will log their itineraries through an owner portal site - MyVetLINK.com, where they can also access their GVL EIA certificates.

If you are a current subscriber to GlobalVetLINK, you already have access to the GoPass certificate and will find the GoPass option on your list of available certificates. If you are not currently a GVL subscriber and would like more information on the GoPass or any other service GlobalVetLINK has to offer, including electronic EIAs, Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (eCVIs), For Sale certificates, Electronic Veterinary Feed Directives (eVFDs) or MyVetLINK.com, do not hesitate to call 515-817-5701 or visit our website at www.globalvetlink.com.

Improve the Health and Performance of your Horses with FarmTek®'s Fodder-Pro 2.0 Feed System

Improve the Health and Performance of your Horses with FarmTek®'s Fodder-Pro 2.0 Feed System

The improved and streamlined Fodder-Pro 2.0 Feed System from FarmTek is designed to provide maximized growing in a compact area with minimal labor. This state-of-the-art system allows you to lower feed costs while optimizing the general health and performance of your horses.

Hydroponically grown fodder is sprouted grass or legumes that mimic fresh pasture, making it an ideal supplemental feed for natural grazers, like horses. Fodder is highly digestible and packed with essential nutrients which will help keep horses happy and healthy. Some of the benefits of feeding fodder include better temperament, higher energy levels and improved coat gloss, less recovery time needed after hard work and more!

Typically, a fodder diet will consist of 2% of the horse's live body weight per day, but feeding hay or other dry matter is still recommended to aid with digestion. To feed the fodder, it can be laid out in the pasture, feed troughs, buckets or hay racks. Horses should be transitioned onto fodder over a week to ten day period so that they can adjust to the change in their routine. Fodder can also be offered as a treat at first to help them acclimate to the new feed.

Operating on a seven-day cycle, the Fodder-Pro 2.0 Feed System is designed to rapidly produce highly nutritious, economical fodder at for just pennies a pound. Featuring a nutrient film technique watering regimen, these systems are extremely water efficient and require very little water to produce a large quantity of fodder.

Fodder-Pro 2.0 Feed Systems are manufactured in the United States. Constructed with the highest quality materials, our systems are built to last. We use structural grade steel for the system frame and our channels are made of UV-stabilized, NSF-certified recycled PVC and carry a 20-year warranty. We offer financing solutions on all of our systems to help you get the system you need so you can start growing fresh, healthy feed for your horses today.

Ponytail, a human-grade horse grooming collection inspired by a passion for horses

2013-03-25T13:45:00Z

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE...PONYTAIL
Seal Beach CA, August 5, 2012.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Ponytail, a human-grade horse grooming collection inspired by a passion for horses and an appreciation of timeless equestrian style. Recognizing the lack of a high-end horse care line in the equestrian market, beauty industry veteran, Nicolle Lubman, sought to develop a sophisticated brand for the savvy horse owner. The result of her efforts is Ponytail, a line of products formulated with the highest quality of ingredients delivered in exquisite packaging. Ponytail's unique formulations clean, soften, condition and shine; providing a range of products both horse and owner will love.

When asked about her inspiration for Ponytail, Nicolle states, "After returning to my childhood passion for riding, I had difficulty finding grooming products I felt comfortable using on my horse, Diablo. I was surprised to find that, unlike cosmetics labeling in the beauty industry, pet care manufacturers are not required to disclose ingredients. I also noticed how generic and uninspired the packaging was compared to what you see among beauty brands. I knew I could bring something better to the pet care market, a brand focusing on unique extracts, quality formulas with ingredient transparency, and product performance, all packaged with style."

Equestrians invest so much love in the care of their horses; they should have the choice to use only the most exceptional products containing the highest quality ingredients for their equine grooming needs. The Ponytail collection can be found at: www.ponytailproducts.com.
