**MY TWO CENTS WORTH**
Yes I have published the February issue early. As I said in the
January newsletter I am taking off for a winter vacation to Phoenix,
AZ. I will try my best to put together a March issue from my
laptop while I sit poolside. As long as the sunscreen doesn't make the keyboard too
slippery. I am very phsyched
about this get-a-way. I have found a dressage coach to work with and
she is located conveniently next door to the house we have rented.
How cool is that!
Mercydes is doing well this winter. She has some great herd mates to
keep her company. She's in a herd of mostly mares this winter. There
is a herd of geldings in the pasture beside them. What a difference
in the play drives between the geldings and mares. The boys are
always playing hard...you can tell by the ripped blankets on the
geldings. The girls blankets are all in good condition. There
is one senior gelding in with the girls that Mercydes has taken a
special liking to. He might be the only one in her herd that she can
boss around.Mercydes has two of my girlfriends bringing her treats.
She nickers at them when they arrive. She has totally suckered them
in with her cuteness! I will miss my trips up to see her while I am
away, nice to know they will be looking out for her. Hopefully I will have some improved riding skills to offer her
when I return.

MAC WIPE BUCKET by BICKMORE: The Mac Wipe
Equine Body Grooming Wipes are specially formulated for the
horse- their skin and coat. They were created to remove dirt,
grime, sweat, lather, and that "all over dust" that Fall and
Winter seem to bring with them. Mac Wipe is better than the
alternative baby wipes that many people have begun to use. Do
not think that Mac Wipe is only for the cooler seasons. Mac Wipe
Body Grooming Wipes are perfect for long weekends at the show as
a fast fix on the way into the arena, before and after a tough
workout, or just as a refreshing clean-up for your horse.
Bickmore is providing the consumer with three sizes of wipes for
a custom fit for their lifestyle. All of the towels are durable
enough for all over body grooming but gentle enough to use
around the horse's ears, eyes, and nose. 63 piece tub.
Retail $26.99... SALE
$21.99!!!
COWBOY MAGIC DETANGLER & SHINE: Neutralizes
static hair electricity instantly. Knots and dreadlocks fall out
tangle free right away, no matter how difficult. The silk
protein in COWBOY MAGIC Detangler and Shine
results in a high shine after brushing. Pure conditioning,
contains no water or alcohol, does not dry hair. Detangles as
you rub it in and keeps on working, resulting in less grooming
time and less product used, saving time and money. Penetrates
below the surface and restores moisture while strengthening
hair, resulting in a natural shine with a soft texture. Repels
dirt, dust, and sand, resulting in a shine that lasts longer.
Not oily. A small amount (about the size of a nickel) massaged
into wet or dry hair will instantly detangle and deep condition.
Continue to add nickel sized amounts and brush through until a
rich, silky-smooth, shine appears. BIG BOTTLE-946 ml.

MSM: MSM is a dietary derivative of DMSO, a
natural food found in most plants and in the milk of all
animals. It is one of nature's best sources of dietary sulfur,
an important mineral in the synthesis of vitamins (biotin and
thiamin), amino acids (methionine and cysteine), and chondroitin
sulfates (compounds that assist joint lubrication). MSM is
needed to form collagen, which is the building block for many
structures including bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons,
synovial fluid, skin, hoof, hair and other connective tissue.
Vitamin C is sometimes added to enhance the benefits. MSM is
required to maintain the health of epithelial tissues that form
the linings of the lungs, nose, sinuses, throat, mouth and the
gastro-intestinal tract. Veterinarians have used MSM in horses
with arthritis, hoof ailments, laminitis, allergies, skin
problems, and gastro-intestinal inflammations for years. To
experience the benefits, it might take up to several weeks.
Recommended serving: two scoops (8-10 grams) once or twice daily
added to feed. 99.8% pure, daily supplement. Start with 10 grams
(1/3 ounce) twice daily for seven days. After seven days, feed
3-5 grams twice daily for maintenance dose. Therapeutic dose
8-10 grams twice daily. 30 g daily under extreme conditions.
