Find Best Price at Amazon"After approximately 5 LONG, excruciating months of 2 ER visits, 3 MedPoint visits (the initial MedPoint visit resulted in an inaccurate diagnosis of a skin dermatitis along with an outlandish expensive prescription of steroid cream that horrifically accelerated the scabies - putting scabies on steroids is REALLY not good), multiple Doctor prescribed permethrin applications....which did nothing... we then resorted to sulfur dips, wrapping our bodies in Saran Wrap after a bleach bath, peroxide application, rubbing alcohol application, and application of a mixture of grapeseed oil, clove EO, lemongrass EO, tea tree EO, neem oil, 10% permethrin insecticide. Approximately $8,000 or more later out of pocket expenses (NOT including ER visits, which we basically are refusing to pay because the ER Doctors at South Bend Memorial don't care and know nothing about scabies...we discovered), I read here on Amazon of other individuals who had success treating their scabies and we finally had reached the point of resorting to ordering it, as no doctor would prescribe the human form of Ivermectin - EVEN UPON REQUEST."
"After wasting tons of money on neem oil, tea tree oil, rid shampoo, nix shampoo, sulphur soap...name it, I tried it- taking this once a week for 3 weeks along with my own homemade Permethrin cream using the Martin's brand (I only used the cream with my first dose of Ivermectin paste) my scabies are finally gone."
"On both legs, I've got multiple streaks going from the insides of my thighs to my butt cheeks, so, I've since learned to pay very close attention to any itching I feel down there (and anywhere else on my body.). The increased dose of Ivermectin paste has me feeling comfortable and itch free now, but it has taken a sustained effort, three whole syringes used in a week, coupled with keeping myself covered from head to toe in my own homemade Permethrin lotion (50-50 mixture of Martin's 10% Permethrin concentrate, with Vaseline Intensive Care "Essential Healing" lotion). It's probably not necessary to keep yourself covered in this relatively mild poison every day for a week, especially if you're taking enough of the Ivermectin paste, but once you declare war on these mites, be aware that they are going to fight back, and if you don't overwhelm them, you'll make the problem worse. You also need to make sure you disinfect your mattress and boxsprings with 91% isopropyl alcohol, using a good quality spray bottle, every single day when you strip your bed, until you're sure you're cured. Wear clean clothes every single day, and pay attention to what you're doing, so you don't spread the mites and simply keep contaminating yourself. Use 10% sulfur soap when you bathe, never wear the same clothes twice without washing them, (including your sweater or your jacket, which you can simply throw in the dryer for thirty minutes. Use it at your own risk, but again, I've taken more than 225% of my body weight's worth, every day for a week, using up three whole tubes of it in that amount of time, and not suffered any major side effects."

"their heads are too small for the Horse size and almost too big for the Warmblood size."
"This is the second time I've purchased these fly masks for my horses."
"My gelding has a red spot in his eye and the vet says that he needs to wear a fly mask all the time to keep his eyes protected from the sun....the fact that this blocks out 70% of the UV rays, I decided to give it a try."
"The only fault I can give this mask is it runs large and I have to fold over the Velcro closure to make it fit reasonably well."
"Very thoughtful - fits over ears, which my horse appreciates, as he tries to stick his ears into it as I am putting it on him."
"I found that it runs a little big, so if your stuck on what size to get, order a size down, but definitely use the sizing chart first."
"This was the most expensive fly mask I've ever bought and it was terrible!"

Best Horse Toys
The Horsemen S Pride Inc Jolly Mega Ball comes in a variety of colors and sizes, and is designed to withstand even the hardest horsing around. Heavy-duty mega jolly ball with anti-burst design.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The manufacturer recommends you buy the cover, or the ball may not last long. If you have a big family , use the enclosed manual pump to inflate the ball. Kind of hard to measure the height of a round gigantic ball. If you have a horse measuring stick with a sliding right angle at the top......that would be a big help. Or if you are not alone one can hold a stick across the top of the ball , while the other measures down to ground....40". Although you realize that the cover, in the pictures on the box, looks tight to the ball..........still the suspense builds as the ball gets very tight while the cover still has 6 inches of loose fabric hanging. You know the ball can't roll with fabric hanging. (To put the airless ball inside the cover you first roll it up to "snake" dimensions. You just have to live with fear, wondering if / when the ball will explode & you kiss $75 goodbye. A loose horse running with an attached lead slapping him on the rump can be disaster. At first she stayed close to her stall door so she could run back inside & be safe.. I stayed with the ball that first day and rolled it around slowly a bit so she could see it didn't hurt me. I have a feeling that, "boys", are going to be the ones that jump on the ball & raise Hell with it."
"my goofy horses wouldn't play with it so I gave it away."
"Prompt and courteous service will buy again!!!"
"I bought the cover for the ball and let some air out of the ball so it wasn't so tight in the cover."
"Big, bouncy but not very durable - recommend purchasing the protective cover or cheaper fitness balls...."
"But they just don't last maybe I need to buy some hole fixers so I can reuse this fall."

"My horse LOVES these!"
"They're hard and crunchy, so they give the guinea pigs something tasty yet relatively healthy to gnaw on to keep their teeth worn down and healthy, and they're much cheaper, ounce for ounce, even at the Amazon price, than the tiny treats sold in tiny bags expressly for rabbits, chinchillas, and guinea pigs."
"Probably the most popular and yet healthy treat bar none...My Arabian just loves this."
"My pony absolutely loves these cookies (she refuses certain types of apples, homemade cookies, other brands of cookies)."

Now, 3.5 years later, I pull out my Oster A5, I clip his legs, ears, chest, back, top, bottom all with ease and under 1 hour."
"Alright, after many hours spent combing through reviews and reading about people knit-picking about strength, heat, power this should serve as a no B.S. review for people who actually do work and can give a crap less about luxuries... First things first; I have a mega thick haired German Shepherd- that being said this should make sense for what I'm going to review; heat, power, strength."
"So, I thought I'd save some coin by stopping by walmart and picking up a 20$ set of clippers and just getting that job done…..Ha Ha, Jokes on me. Not only do I have the smoothes kitty in town (pervert) but I have a handful of hummingbirds laying eggs in designer, catshmere nests in my plum tree."
"I'm just your average Joe and the reason I got this was because our dog groomer is very famous and she has a two month waiting list just to get an appointment. One time, we waited too long to get our dog's hair cut and his hair got so long that we he started matting even after brushing regularly. Now remember, I'm no groomer just an average Joe remember who happens to own a dog with lots of hair and grows and grows and grows. I've even used the A5 with our mix Swiss Mountain dog and it cut his short hair very fast. If you're looking for a basic two speed dog clipper, this is a solid buy and I was told it will last forever because it's old school."
"This one is two speed, and I don't know if I really use that much. The slower setting does not seem to be alarming to the dogs, while the high speed tends to freak them out more."

One example of this is the Lexol doesn't leave a residue or require staying applied for an unreasonable amount of time to achieve good results. I use Lexol with excellent results on all types of leathers: automobiles, furniture, shoes, belts, jackets, and so on."
"This product came highly recommended by a professional leathersmith I know, as well as a local boot store."
"The best product for leather conditioning."
"I've been putting this on my leather furniture and shoes every spring for years and I'm still on my first bottle."
"I have used it on handbags that were dull & lifeless that hadn't been treated in over 10 years and looked like they needed to be thrown away. After a quick cleaning, just use a soft cloth and apply liberally, it soaks in without darkening the color of the leather, acting as a barrier from water, ink and other things that can leave marks/stains on leather."
"Excellent for horse saddles, leather car seats, make them satin feel, and leather sofas."
"You should buy a liter cos the price is right, especially when eligible for Amazon's FREE Super Saver Shipping!"
"We have been using this product for many years, both on leather, but also on our bronzes and antique metal objects."
