It’s amazing how many products wind up in a horse owners stockpile, everything from wormers to fly sprays to shampoo.
Safety First
When choosing products, consider the health of everyone involved and when you can buy organic, natural and sustainable. In today’s chemical landscape no price is too dear to pay, lucky for us there are still good ones out there and their prices are reasonable.
Mother Nature Knows Best
Let’s face it, people domesticated horses long before chemicals were invented. There are natural ways to keep your animal healthy and they can be responsibly sourced. Everyone can do their part by supporting the companies who share that mantra.

It’s What’s Inside That Counts
Remember that we are all what we eat, GM products managed to sneak their way into our food so it should come as no surprise that it is in the food our animals eat too. Be sure to support the companies who are responsible with your horses food and stay updated about GM products within the horse industry.
Helpful Reading
Knowledge is power and the more you know the better. GM products have not been tested for long enough to determine their true side effects and have already been shown to cause infertility. Protect your animals from them.

I will never use anything else, plus my horse stands stock still to get sprayed, she always ran away from other sprays.-Well horses know best! I have spent tons of money on many so called natural sprays that do not work and are mostly just water. http:/www.GreenHorseFlySpray.Com
