eC i h Christmas Gift Guide a u Special Advertising Section Soft-Ride TM Every good horseman knows that the health of a horse’s feet and legs is vital.

Soft-Ride TM boots include exclusive Deep Gel orthotics and are the only comfort boot that can be used with or without shoes. The gel insert improves circulation in the hoof and provides relief of static tension to the deep flexor tendon. With options specifically for horses with medical conditions, Soft Ride Gel Comfort Boots come in 18 sizes, so you’re sure to find a great fit to invigorate and relieve your horse. For the competitor in your life, check out the new Soft-Ride TM Ice Spa.

Bale Barns has you covered—literally. Proudly made in the USA, Bale Barns feature a strong one-piece design that is both durable and easy to use. The Bale Barn is 8-by-8 feet, and 69 inches tall, so it can be used with anything from multiple small square bales to a large 8-foot square bale or a 6-foot round bale. No tractor needed: Just set the bale down, remove the bale’s wrap or strings, flip the Bale Barn over the hay, and you’re good to go. Eight large feeding windows allow easy access and help eliminate the bickering, but with the slow feed integrated net, you can worry less about the overeaters and other free-choice hay feeding problems. Plus, when horses eat more slowly the way nature intended, they are less nervous and not as bored and therefore less destructive. Many users of the Bale Barn have noticed dramatic reduction in how much hay they have to feed because it all ends up eaten by the horses rather than ending up on the ground. For all weather and climates, try the only self-netting, covered hay feeder on the market today. www.balebarns.com; (406) 565-1325 PARTIALS_HR_1115.indd 57 HR-151100-GIFT.indd 57 9/16/15 5:12 PM 9/16/15 9:21 AM n Windmill Monogrammed Halters & Dog Collars Special Advertising Section The Soft Touch Cinch by Reinsman ® Tired of losing your halter in a sea of others at your barn or finding it on another horse?

Fallis Custom Saddlery John Fallis made his first saddle at age 13, under the watchful eye of his mastercraftsman father, Slim (Myrlin) Fallis.

This feeder is the smart, healthy way to feed your horse. By using a stabilized floating grate, the feeder prolongs feeding 4-10 times as long as eating off the ground, reducing the chance of ulcers and eliminating boredom, nervousness, and frustration. By keeping the hay off the ground, the Savvy Feeder reduces ingestion of sand, manure, bedding, and other things that invite colic, and its excellent drainage eliminates spoilage. The Savvy Feeder allows your horse to forage in a natural head-down position, correctly aligning the jaw and reducing the risk of guttural pouch infection. The Savvy Feeder works just as well, whether you feed 5 pounds of hay or as much as 25 pounds. And with the new latch system to prevent the bottom from sliding out, it is better than ever. The Savvy Feeder is light enough to take on the road and is versatile enough to be used in a stall, pasture, track system, or hitching post. Made from super-durable polyethylene, the Savvy Feeder lasts for years.
