That Tick Spray I forgot to talk about yesterday: RK TOPICAL SPRAY Horses and Dogs! Plus BRIGHT FUTURES FARM and a Summer Itch Buster!






(Bowing my head towards Boston.)

Yup.  Still sick.  Sorry that I forgot what I was writing yesterday and wrapped up before I finished what I had intended to write.  Blame it on the illness.

1)  RK TOPICAL SPRAY

I get newsletters from those wonderful vets at EQUINE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASSOCIATES.  They are the ones who make Heiro for Insulin Resistant horses to get back out on grass!

Anyway, I saw this email about the tick spray…

This is the email that made me stand up and pay attention.

This is the email that made me stand up and pay attention.

Being a Lyme Disease sufferer, whenever I hear anything about ticks, my ears perk.  So, the fact that these people I trust who have products that I know work say that  RK TOPICAL SPRAY actually works… well, YOU KNOW I am going to be my own guinea pig!

And so will my dogs and horses…

So, I ordered 4 quarts.

 

2)  SUMMER ECZEMA ORAL SUPPLEMENT

While ordering the above tick spray, I decided to give this supplement a try as well.

I highlighted it last Spring and several of you readers tried it and LOVED IT!  I heard nothing but rave reviews from horse owners whose horses have been plagued by noseeums and sweet itch and other skin irritants that made the poor horses miserable.

Evidently, this product solved it all!

Since BG has issues with midges and small biting flies, I decided to get some for her.

So,  Summer Eczema Oral Supplement is on its way.

I am trying this as well.  Horse owners say this stuff is incredible in solving summer skin issues!

3)  BRIGHT FUTURES FARM

Do you know of this Rescue, Bright Futures Farm,  in PA?

I don’t know much, either.  But, I was sent this email and it made me sad.  I felt compelled to share this.

Monday Updates… SKODE, Wingnut, Bob Hubbard…






I’m still pretty sick so I am taking it easy today … writing simple updates.

 

1)  SKODE’S RESPONSE TO OUR ONE-DAY BUCKET FUND AFTER HER DEVASTATING FIRE

Here is Lori from Skode’s response when she received her funds from you all via Pay Pal (just replace her use of my name with YOURS since you were the ones who gave…):

Lori's email to us.

Our receipt.

2)  EQUINE COLIC RELIEF

A few of you wrote to me asking if it was safe to purchase from the ECR website because the email to pay via the website Pay Pal link was:  zebecash@hotmail.com.

Yes, it is safe – the ECR website is where I bought my Equine Colic Relief.

But, I agreed with you readers…  Odd name for a business payment account.

So I emailed the Equine Colic Relief owner, told her your concerns and asked why that moniker for her email address?

This was her response:

Could I post on your blog about my email address. This is actually the name of a horse I had when I first started doing emails. A great big sorrel gentle giant of a horse. Being new to the internet way back then I did not want to use my name so I used his Zebecash  Two.

(However,)  I do have an email with ECR. It is          billie@EquineColicReliefUSA.com  and I changed my PayPal account so it reflects this email which I hope makes horse people whom see it feel more comfortable.

I had to use ECR on my own gelding, Junior, this winter, he was totally over his bout of colic in about an hour and half.  ECR work in harmony with the horses body, so it does not cause any extra stress on an already stressed horse due to the colic.

Thank you for your great blog.
Billie

3)  WING NUT

OK, we all know about the wingnut who shot his horse on video and put it on You Tube to get back at animal rights activists.

People across the nation were outraged and demanded that something be done with this idiot.

Here is what the Judge decreed (thank you, kind reader, for sending this in).

4)  MORE SAD NEWS… BOB HUBBARD PASSED AWAY

I don’t know about you, but when I was showing my Morgans, I used Bob Hubbard to transport my horses – exclusively.  At that time, he was the best and I think his company has held up very well over the years with all the new competition.

Reliable, smart, friendly, family owned, family run and always very good to me.

I was saddened to read this on a friend’s FB page:

Thank you, Bob... you were very good to me and my horses over the years.

Thank you, Bob… you were very good to me and my horses over the years.

Greener Pastures, Bob Hubbard. Thank you for taking such extreme care of my show horses for all of those years. I felt safe as soon as they loaded.
