Product #2: Rate My Horse PRO

Manufacturer: Rate My Horse PRO

Description:

Rate My Horse PRO is North America’s most comprehensive, accurate, and interactive ratings tool available. Rate My Horse PRO is educating consumers, while facilitating the promotion of horse professionals who conduct business with integrity. Customer experience scores allow professionals to define and differentiate their value in a competitive marketplace. Educated consumers teamed with accountable horse professionals can only result in better horse welfare.

Transparency & Accountability

Initiated in 2008, Rate My Horse PRO was created by a group of horse owners and professionals looking to improve the current state of ethics within the horse world. The highly complex horse industry is both daunting and intimidating to outsiders interested in entering, and often seems closed and limited to those who have spent any time inside. All are better served by using an evaluation system to help find the right advisors while setting the right expectation for what professionals will provide. This concept offers the horse industry a new level of transparency, and accountability.

YOUR Horse. YOUR Money. YOUR Standard.

Product #2: Organic Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals

Manufacturer: Traditional Medicinals

Description:

 

Organic Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals’ Throat Coat® is touted as a natural, caffeine-free way to support throat health.

It's been around for about 35 years!

It contains Slippery elm bark, licorice root and marshmallow root.

Slippery Elm is the soothing element. Good for irritated and inflamed mucous membranes.

Marshmallow root -- Both the root and the leaf of the marshmallow plant contain a substance known as mucilate, a mucusy substance that does not dissolve in water. It is this substance that causes marshmallow to swell up and become slippery when wet. This attribute of the marshmallow plant gives it the ability to soothe irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach, as well as to relieve coughing.

Research shows that licorice appears to enhance immunity by boosting levels of interferon, which is an important immune system chemical that fights off attacking viruses. In the respiratory system it reduces irritation and inflammation and has an expectorant effect, useful in irritating coughs, asthma and chest infections.

Throat Coat® tea is certified organic and uses a combination of sustainably farmed and sustainably wild collected pharmacopoeial grade herbs, which they say are the highest quality herbs available.

Price: $5.49 for a package of 16 tea bags
