Nix that itch
 Skin problems can plague horses just as
they can people. Initially formulated for
humans back in 1938, Original M-T-G
from Shapley’s is a safe, easy-to-use
product that’s ideal for both skin
healing and hair growth. It can relieve
a variety of equine bacterial and
fungal skin problems, including rain
rot, scratches, girth itch, sweet itch,
and dry skin. It conditions the skin
and hair around the damaged area,
and also promotes a healthy environment
for the hair follicle, resulting in maximum
growth while keeping hair shafts soft
and pliable. Does not require washing
or water for application.
6 oz – $6.95

 Hoof it!
What better way to honor
your equine partner than
by immortalizing his
hoofprint on a beautiful pure
silver pendant? Thanks to
Pawprints Jewelry, you can
do just that. Here’s how it
works. When ou order a
pendant, the company sends
you an impression kit so you
can make a print of his hoof (it
doesn’t matter whether he’s barefoot
or wears shoes). You return the clay mold,
and the company scales down the image to fit one of
their silver pendants. There are six styles to choose from.
