Spring and summer are upon us, which means you can take off
the hoof-warmers and bust out the saddle because it’s about to be riding season
again—who’s excited? As fun as this season is, being an equine (horse)
enthusiast is equally as much about responsibility for the well-being of the
horse as it is about having fun with the horse.
We’ve worked hard to earn our reputation as one of the
leading retailers of supplies for a wide variety of animal experts and
enthusiasts. This includes veterinarians and their practices, but also covers
pet owners, breeders and even owners and workers of the pet service industries,
such as groomers, dog walkers, obedience trainers and more. Horses are no exception.
We offer leading equine products for horse owners of all
levels, from farmers and breeders to owners and enthusiasts, to the vets that
take care of horses every day. That being said, we know exactly what horse
owners are going to need for the coming spring and summer. Horses are fun, but
they are not without their risks during these seasons.
Equine Insect
Control
Protection Against
Flies – Flies are more than just a nuisance—they’re a potential threat to
your horses’ health. Flies like to frequent things like carcasses, trash and
feces, and they have no standards. When a fly lands on a horse and bites them,
they are transferring some of that filth into the animal. Not only that, but
flies can carry eggs and larvae of ticks, fleas, mites, worms and many other
annoying and potentially dangerous bugs and parasites. We provide fly traps,
sprays, fly bait stations, anti-fly masks & bonnets, and even roll-on
insecticidal products that function like a stick of deodorant.
Protection Against
Mosquitoes – Like flies, mosquitoes have no standards as to where they
feed. Mosquitoes can potentially feed from dead animals, rodents, birds and of
course, people. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant, dirty water, so it’s best to
clear any property of stagnant ponds, puddles or water that has built up over
the winter. Other than that, many of our products that help against flies will
also help against mosquitoes, including our masks and bonnets, our fly sprays
and more. We also offer traps and sprays specialized for mosquito control.

Protect Your Property
– It’s best to also keep the property in mind when caring for animals,
especially horses. That’s why we provide heavy-duty insecticides to be sprayed
in and around properties, including the Annihilator Insecticide Premises Spray,
which covers a wide variety of pests. We also offer traps and poisons for ants,
roaches and many other insects that threaten animal abodes.
Equine Health
Products
Prescription
Medication, Vaccinations and Antibiotics - These are especially important
for both older and very young horses. As they are being exposed to the outside
world, their curiosity is sure to get the best of them, and they will chew and
smell anything they trot across. Protect their health with proper vaccinations.
When your horses are sick, we have the necessary antibiotics in our animal
pharmacy— though you will need a vet’s prescription.
Wound Care – Horses
get scratched up, their hooves get hurt and they get bug and animal bites
regularly—it’s hard to avoid when you’re as big as the average horse. All of
these wounds can add up and pose threats to your horses over time. It’s best to
find the right wound care products and use them as soon as possible. We have a
wide selection of ointments, disinfectants, bandages and more for injured
horses, so check with us first.
Horse De-Wormers – Worms
are the bane of equine enthusiasts – there are several species of worms that
like to find themselves inside horses, posing serious threats to their health. Both
large and small Strongyles, also known as red worms find their way in and embed
themselves into horse’s intestines—they are commonly seen in horses and, if
seen in the horse’s droppings, should be taken care immediately. Other worms
can travel from their original infested area and spread to more serious areas
like the eyes, lungs, heart and brains. This is especially true for lung worms
and neck threadworms. There’s countless other worms that threaten
horses—tapeworms, roundworms, ringworms, pin worms and more. Find out the right
way to diagnose your horse, and get it the treatment it needs.
Grooming and Hygienic
Products
Hoof Care – Hooves
experience the most wear and tear of any area of a horse, and that’s why we’ve
built horseshoes and other protective items for horses over time. When a
horse’s hooves are damaged, we have the necessary dressings to care for them.
We also provide supplements to improve overall hoof health in horses. In
addition, we have all the necessary equipment for putting on, removing and caring
for horseshoes and the hoof itself.
Grooming &
Hygiene Supplies – Horses are fun to play with and should also be great to
look at—nothing makes an equine enthusiast happier than seeing their horse as
sleek and well-maintained as possible. We have grooming supplies for
everything, from the horse’s mane to their teeth, skin and just about any other
area of the horse that can benefit from cleaning and grooming.
