This week's featured products are going to all be products made in Colorado. It is important to support our local companies and thus our local economies. Our biggest local company is Gateway Products. Gateway Products makes many supplements for just about any need you might have. They have recieved many accolades from the Horse Journal and other publications so not only are they local they are quality. Our best selling Gateway products is Mag Calm. This product is especially good for calming nervous and tense horses. Mag Calm was also rated the best magnesium supplement by the Horse Journal. One of our other best sellers is Su-per Flex Wrap. This is a self sticking wrap comparable to Vet-rap and works just the same. One of my favorite products is Su-per SuBstitUTE. This is a great pain management product for horses that can't be on bute long term. It is our strongest Devils Claw product and combined with Yucca, MSM and other herbs it works really well to combat pain in older horses or ones who have chronic problems. Horse Journal also recommends Su-per AntiOxidant regularly for its vitamin, mineral and antioxidant profiles. All in all Gateway has a lot of really good products and are worth a look into.

Our next featured product is Forco. Forco is a very good pre and probiotic made in Flagler, CO. This product helps feed the good bacteria and microbes in the gut. Forco also includes digestive enzymes to help utilize feed better. A good healthy gut keeps a horse happier and in better health. Weight will be regulated and stress won't have as big an impact. For horses that are prone to colic or diarrea Forco is a must to getting the horse back to healthy. Available in 5, 10, 25 pound buckets.

Eileen's Homebrew Hoof Goo is made in Aurora. It was formulated and tested here in Colorado for our unique climate. With a combination of cosmetic and culinary oils, pine tar and venice turpentine it is a high quality product that doesn't dissapoint.

Mile Hi Biotin is simply that, biotin. It is 20mg of biotin per serving to help with any hoof or coat problem you may be having.

Horsey Nibblers were developed in Elizabeth as a necessity for a horse owner faced with a lengthy stall confinement for one of their horses. They devolped the nibbers as a way to combat boredom and boy do they work. Made out of quality ingredients the nibbers are round so they are hard for the horse to get a bite out of and last along time. Now in several different flavors there is one your horse will like. A great boredom buster.

Dowdells Best Remedy is our newest local product. Started in 1907 as a topical liniment Dowdells has a great reputation on the racetrack. They have recently moved into the jumper market by sponsoring Charlie Dennehy at the Colorado Horse Park. We do still have samples so come by to try it today.
