It doesn’t take long to figure out that ponies are for girls and horsepower is for boys. At least, that’s the way things used to be. But, behold, the times, they are a changing. Forget all the chitchat about Ipads and Angry Birds, THE hot new social renaissance involves a passionate group of geeky, tech-savvy guys and gals, who happen to love the new television series currently featured on Horse Programs like Hubworld: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.”
With websites dedicated to the noble pony pals like Equestria Daily, fans are encouraged to wax rhapsodic about the ponies, their mystical surroundings, friends, alliances and adventures. So, why are a group of guys drawn to an online cartoon that was meant to target 6+ year old girls?
According to several online reports, the combination of beautiful drawings, intriguing story lines and complicated characters makes for truly compelling story telling. Well, we were keen to get our own take on the ponies appeal, so we dove right into a few episodes on Hubworld.
The first thing you’ll notice when watching “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,” is the caliber of production values. Every scene is deliciously designed in candy colored hues, with utterly adorable, hand drawn style ponies, animated in a visually entrancing manner. And, these ponies have incredible story lines. Remarkably upbeat and witty dialogue combined with charming pony performances, make the latest generation of My Little Pony episodes truly not to be missed.
Each episode, we find the ponies proving their honor as they deal with major challenges. Successfully confronting an infestation of adorable but ravenous insects known as Parasprites is a big fan favorite. Upon successfully dealing with invaders and challengers such as these, they meet with the Princess Celestia to review strategies and lessons learned. Pony reconnaissance, such as it is. So, perhaps that’s part of the appeal. These ponies are both magical and involved in friendly police actions on behalf of the crown. And, even though it’s fairy tale fiction, what’s really interesting is the way the writers have managed to merge real world equine issues such as fly prevention with mystical storytelling. So, there is truly something for everyone from the true pony enthusiast to the person who’s never even met a pony. (One thing to be said about fantasy toy ponies, . . . except for the toy horse cookies and bales of hay, there’s no horse feed bill.)
Now, the thing that makes this tiny phenomenon particularly fascinating is that it’s actually news worthy. We’ve always been proponents of the idea that both boys, girls, men and women should love and enjoy ponies and horses. Yet, except for certain niches like rodeo riding and horse racing, most horses are loved and/or owned by women. Why? Because you can’t build a potentially explosive nitro burning funny horse that goes 250 miles an hour, that’s why. And, you can’t pop a horse into a toy hauler, race out to the dunes and surf the sand with it. Horses and ponies are primarily girl toys, so, in the popular conscience, horses and especially ponies, have become synonymous with the female psyche.
So, the fact that a product, designed to target women, is somehow of interest to men, this is a quandary for some people. We had to ask the question, “why?”
Why Do Increasing Numbers Of Real Men Love “My Little Ponies?”
One of the overwhelming concerns may be that enjoying, “My Little Pony,” products means that a man might be gay. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) According to BroNYCon’s organizer, Jessica Blank, “Actually, the overwhelming majority are straight.” BroNYCon was created by My Little Pony fans called Bronies—a mash-up of “bro” and “ponies.” There is some debate as to whether the term Bronie applies both to men and women or just men. According to sources, some women prefer to be known as, “Pegasisters.” This group has been the catalyst for other pony-inspired sites and is spearheading a new subculture of artists who enjoy expressing themselves through the My Little Pony fanstyle.
One of the things that we noticed immediately was how adorable the “My Little Pony” horse games, are. You can dress up a pony, create a castle for her, etc. My only complaint is that none of this stuff was around when we were kids. Our ponies had to walk uphill to school, both ways, in the snow, and hunt for their own horse feed, when we were children. Today, ponies are available through a computer, phone or idevice, near you, 24/7!
At the end of the day, whether it’s watching young riders get packed around a 1 1/2 foot high course by real life, tiny pony hunters or an animated series replete with fantasy ponies, absolutely nothing on the planet thrills us like ponies. They are the chocolate bon bons of the horse world. And, if a select group of red blooded young men want to join in the fun, we say, welcome aboard!
Of course, for all you red blooded males who want to help around the barn, there’s always plenty of help needed, like spreading spalding labs fly predators around the property to keep the flies down.
From May to September, when it’s nice and warm, that’s the time for outdoor fun. Sports, riding, picnics, what-have-you. However, the outdoors and warm weather are associated with one of the most trying and, potentially dangerous nuisances known to humanity. Mosquitoes. Oh sure, there are mosquito traps and repellents available, but, what about our poor companion animals & pets? Cats, dogs, horses, livestock, they’re all plagued by mosquito bites and they can’t throw up a wall of screen doors or slather on the mosquito repellent to keep them at bay.
Consider people who dream of living in the United States, where our local municipalities consistently enforce rigorous mosquito control measures. Without these professional exterminators, mosquito populations could easily explode. Consider that outside the U.S., malaria transmitting mosquitoes kill upwards of three million people per year, while infecting another two hundred million annually. 10′s of millions more are left debilitated by a bevy of mosquito borne illnesses, namely encephalitis, filariasis and dengue and yellow fever. In fact, diseases spread by mosquitoes are responsible for ending more human lives than all the known, recorded wars throughout history .Often, when confronted with a mosquito outbreak, a mosquito net or toxic insecticide is the only thing standing between someone and an excruciating demise.
In the U.S., West Nile Virus remains a serious concern as we have yet to develop a vaccine against it to protect humans, cats or dogs. Horses are fortunate in that a vaccine has been already been developed for them.
Even without the risk of deadly infections, mosquito bites are unbelievably irritating and sometimes, downright painful. Who needs the annoyance? So, understanding what attracts and drives mosquito reproduction can give you an unbelievable edge in the do it yourself pest control, department. Believe it or not, mosquitoes require fairly exacting specifications to breed successfully. First off, you’ve got to identify and wipe-out all surrounding elements conducive to mosquito reproduction. Truly understanding pest control products and maintaining disciplined mosquito fighting routines can do a great deal in helping you win the war against mosquitoes.
There are two basic categories of Mosquitoes within the U.S., of which there are hundreds of individual mosquito species. Semi Permanent Mosquitoes seek out long-term water bodies such as marches, ponds and stock tanks. The second group, Floodwater Mosquitoes, require nothing more than an convenient water container to reproduce. Any ditch, water bucket or puddle lasting more than three days can continue the cycle of life for a female mosquito looking for somewhere to leave her eggs. Though, 3 days at eighty to ninety degrees is necessary for the evolution from larvae to adult.
It’s not tough to identify which kind of Mosquito you’re being victimized by. Daytime bites usually mean Floodwater mosquitoes are breeding in nearby, unrestrained, temporary water sources. Alternately, Semi-Permanent Mosquitoes tend to be the issue when the bites occur during early morning or at sunset. These pests are usually breeding nearby, in standing waters such as ponds and lakes. Distance is not an obstacle for Floodwater Mosquitoes, renowned for riding the breeze while they wait for a CO2 trail to draw them to a blood meal. Their far less adventurous relative, the Semi Permanent Mosquito is inclined to stay within a 1/4 radius of home base. As soon as you’ve isolated the type of mosquito issue you’ve got, you’re ready to start your mosquito intervention.
Successful mosquito elimination starts with the elimination of all nearby standing waters. And, you’ll have to repeat the process every 3 days. If this is too much bother, consider using a larvicide such as S-Methoprene or or Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis. Once ingested, this bacteria strain penetrates the mosquito larvae’s gut and kills it. And, because it is harmless to vertebrates such as mammals, birds, fish & amphibians, you need never worry about safety.
Consider also using Mosquito Eating Fish and attracting Blue Birds to your property. A Mosquito eating fish can gobble up 100-500 mosquito larvae a day and Blue Birds are renowned mosquito eater birds. Both these organic exterminators can do a great deal of the work required to suppress mosquito populations.
Continue cleaning up, making sure no buckets, containers, drinking troughs that are not currently being used or any other errant water catching devices are not left out and about. It takes only a few ounces of liquid for a mosquito to lay her eggs and successfully generate new offspring. A focused sweep of your home and property should help you identify broken pipes, leaking hoses, faucets or any other sources of non-draining water collection that must be addressed. Many people take the additional step of purchasing a heavy duty trailer, dump trailer or landscape trailer to maintain their property. Afterward, buy enough heavy duty fans to keep the air currents circulating aggressively everywhere on the property, that’s possible. Mosquitoes have a strong dislike for wind speeds over seven MPH and enough well placed fans should successfully send them on their way.
Proper yard and field maintenance is another important component in fighting mosquitoes. The pests regularly rest on tall grasses whenever the sun is hottest, so a well trimmed yard and field gives them fewer places to hide. Don’t forget to scrutinize your ponds or lakes for shoreline grasses and keep those to a minimum. Mosquitoes prefer the grasses growing in water, that are nearest to the shoreline.
If you’ve been flood irrigating your fields, consider cutting the amount of water use by approximately 1/3. Flood irrigation often creates superficial water pools that can take days to drain off, creating an ideal breeding ground for unwanted pests.
Consider investing in proper drainage methods for your livestock’s drinking water & never dump dirty livestock water onto manure! Drinking troughs are a perfect for attacking mosquito larvae with S-Methoprene as it will kill the developing larvae while leaving your livestock completely unharmed.
Encourage your family and friends to use mosquito repellent and to wear light colored head gear and clothing to discourage mosquito bites. Light clothing acts as a natural mosquito repellent, given that mosquitoes associate blood meals with large dark objects.
Utilize these techniques and be prepared for some fairly impressive results. We encourage you to contact your local county mosquito control department for additional tips and tricks for mosquito control in your region.
If you’re like me, you’ve never seen such bizarro weather, not to mention the consequences. And that means the flies have never been worse. That’s why I want to talk about fly control measures utilizing Fly Predators, Fly Traps and Mosquito Torpedoes. But, let’s start with the basics.
Summer started late this year, after some of the worst rainy seasons on record. Out here in the Southwest, it’s been a virtual draught for three decades and then the last two years it’s been nothing but rain, rain, rain. When you combine this with irregular heating patterns you get fly infestations cropping up late, but, with a fury the likes of which most people have never seen before.
As one of the country’s preeminent pesticide free, fly control companies, Spalding Labs is reporting a dramatic uptick in the call for their Fly Predator and Fly Trap products. They’ve been a purveyor of Fly Predators for over 30 years, but, the fly trap products are actually something new. While people who use Spalding Lab fly predators are extremely successful at minimizing fly reproduction, they’re still often left to contend with visitor flies from neighboring farms, kennels and feed lots who may have not jumped on the Spalding Labs wagon. So, Spalding Labs elected to begin offering the most effective and targeted fly trap products they could get their hands on, knowing that they’d be getting the chance to educate their clients about the best ways to use them.
What most people don’t understand about fly traps, is that there are two very different types. They sticky kind that should be placed around your horses, dogs and places frequented by folks and the odor lures, which should be placed away from the community areas to help draw flies away. Spalding Labs has heard the familiar story of the hardware store clerk who inadvertently advises an innocent customer to place an odor lure fly trap inside their barn or kennel. The next thing the poor customer knows, their horses or dogs are under siege as flies from the four corners are drawn right into their facility. That’s why Spalding Labs is putting so much energy into making sure consumers are educated about how to use the right fly trap with the right fly species and situation.
To learn more about fly traps, fly predators and the basics on facility maintenance to minimize fly infestations, please visit the Spalding Labs website. You’ll find your time well spend and your fly infestation issues to be on their way to being contained.
Renowned for their Fly Elimination prowess within the integrated pest management space, Spalding Labs has been fighting flies through completely green strategies, for over 35 years. Now, in addition to helping folks deal with quashing the fly reproduction cycle, Spalding Labs has added fly traps to their selection of organic fly fighting strategies. Thousands of horse, cattle and dog kennel owners throughout America depend on Spalding-Labs for the suppression
of fly infestations by killing flies before they make it to maturity, with Fly Predator®. However, if they can’t persuade their neighbors to use Fly Predators, there’s always the issue of visitor flies. That’s why Spalding-Labs, after much due-diligence and research, has added fly traps.
Whether you live adjacent to a large equestrian center, a dairy farm or a dog breeder, visitor flies can truly spoil the ambience. Spalding-Lab‘s new fly traps are designed to work strategically to both draw flies away & catch flies on the most sensitive areas of your property.
In an ideal world, simply getting all your neighbors on board with their own Spalding-Labs, Fly Predator program would most likely do the job. But, not everyone is ready to try new things at the same time. Many livestock owners cling to old school remedies like homemade fly trap contraptions, insect repellents and potentially harmful pesticides. If your neighbors are reluctant to test Fly Predators for themselves, we suggest placing fly traps on the fence line dividing your properties. This should contribute significantly to helping stop flies before they can get to you. You’ll also want to place additional fly traps in strategic areas to help stop the flies who’ve made it over. It’s critical to understand which fly traps go where. If you visit the Spalding-Labs website, you’ll find comprehensive information on the distinctions been odor lure and sticky traps. There are also special traps for biting stable flies, a fly that looks like a big house fly, and actually bites.
Prior to adding fly traps to their arsenal of fly control products, Spalding Labs spent a great deal of time studying the fly trap market. They reviewed a number of critical, USDA sponsored studies as well as extensively testing the products, in-house.
With the variety of flying pests they needed to offer products against, particularly biting stable flies and house flies, Spalding-Labs realized that a wide variety of insect traps used in conjunction with their famed Fly Predator products, would supply the right marriage of reproductive counter warfare combined with attacking flies who had survived to maturity. Now, folks who take pro-active steps to limit fly infestations by spreading fly predators around right when the temperature hits 60 to 65, combined with utilizing strategically placed odor lures and sticky traps around their property to address visitor flies, are seeing tremendous relief from fly infestation problems.

We’re continually reading about all these mystery issues associated with human and animal health. Infertility, ADHD, cancer outbreaks, along with many mystery illnesses that seem to have no root cause at all. Well, once you delve into the history of pest control in the modern world, it begins to be painfully obvious that the toxicity levels in so many pesticides and insecticides may have a correlation to many of the issues threatening the health of animals, humans and our very fragile environment.
Spalding Labs, a company that’s been around for almost 35 years, is well known in the equine and canine communities for pesticide free fly control. They’ve been spreading the word about integrated pest control for decades, encouraging horse and dog owners plagued with fly infestations and desperate for effective fly control strategies about fly predators and fly trap protocols. Spalding Labs fly predators are a species of beneficial insects that are so tiny, you’ve probably never noticed them, even though they are usually present wherever there are flies. What Spalding Labs does is help you increase the ratio of fly predators to metamorphosing fly larvae, so that you’ve got the numbers you need to kill fly larvae before they can emerge from their pupae as full grown, ready to harass and breed, adult flies.
Spalding Labs also puts a great deal of effort into educating consumers about broader fly control strategies to help minimize fly reproduction opportunities.
One of my biggest areas of concern is the decimation of the honey bee population. While there are some early reports that new super bees are being bred that are far more impervious to pesticide resistant mites and viruses as well as the effects of low winter temperatures, there is still major concern about the direct effect of pesticides on declining bee numbers.
What can you do to minimize the amount of pesticides and insecticides you use to control fly infestations on your property? Whether the problem comes from your own plants or animals or from neighboring barns, kennels or feed lots, you can be extremely proactive in addressing the problem. We highly recommend visiting the Spalding Labs website to learn everything you possibly can. The
Spalding Labs website is a virtual encyclopedia of information about flying pest species, beneficial insects, fly control basics and integrated pest control. As one of the most renown early crusaders for organic fly control strategies, Spalding Labs is viewed by thousands of customers throughout the U.S. as one of the most important voices in fly control and pest management. With their recent foray into fly trap products and mosquito control products, we recommend going to Spalding Labs site and also doing additional research across the pest control spectrum. You’ll learn the difference between house flies and biting stable flies, odor lure traps and sticky traps and traps that use visual cues to lure flying pests. You’ll also learn about the basics of property management that can have a tremendous impact on minimizing fly reproduction.
Spalding Labs is also a font of remarkable information about mosquito control. With growing concerns about the spread of West Nile Virus and the uniquely virulent relationship where mosquitoes and crows are concerned, the more you do to prevent successful mosquito reproduction, the more you can do to protect your family and loved ones. The more you know about organic and integrated pest control, the better chance you have of preventing and subduing flying pests throughout the hot summer months. With 2011 considered to be one of the most difficult years on record for invasive pest infestations, you deserve to do everything in your power to give your family, friends and pets the comfort and safety of effective pest control.

The most common cause of Laminitis is when a horse experiences a carbohydrate overload. This means that the digestive tract is trying to handle an excessive or sudden increase in sugary grass, grain or some other high sugar/starch content, horse feeds. This impacts the horse’s bacteria levels and its PH, allowing toxins to spill out into the bloodstream. And, this can diminish blood flow and circulation to the hoof. Given the crisis that laminitis can create, in relationship to horse health, the first line of attack in dealing with laminitis, is a dedicated, prevention based, feeding and exercise, regime.
Though the catalyst for most equine laminitis is poor horse nutrition, there are, of course, other causes. The beloved 2006 Kentucky Derby winner, Barbaro, who’s shattered leg ended his career, during the Preakness, fell prey to laminitis as a direct result of his injuries. A horse naturally places 60% of his weight onto his front legs, and having to increase that ratio while trying to shift weight off a damaged leg, almost always leads to laminitis. Horses spend the majority of their lives standing, ready to take-off whenever danger lurks. Since they can’t just lay down for long periods of recuperation, they instinctively throw more weight onto their healthy legs. This causes additional stress, leading to inflammation of the hoof’s laminae and, laminitis. Horses that don’t get treated immediately can ultimately develop a condition called founder, where they become extremely crippled and may never recover. By understanding and correcting your equine feed choices, you can dramatically improve your horse’s chances of avoiding laminitis, altogether.
Start by being very selective about where your horse is pastured. Avoid rich grasses, like high sugar grasses that crop up in Spring & Autumn. These grasses have the high-soluble carbohydrates that can prompt the carbohydrate overload, and cascading sequence of problems, mentioned above. Keep tack rooms and feed-bins where horse treats, specialty feeds and grains are stored, super secure.
Given the opportunity, there are very few horses who won’t stuff themselves on tasty, sweet feeds. And, it takes only one episode of a horse finding its way into the grain room for disaster to strike. Also, big on the list of things to regulate, is your horse’s water. Never let your horse’s water get too hot or too cold. Horses will avoid extreme temperatures for as long as possible and then, compelled by extreme thirst, suddenly gulp down gallons of excessively hot or cold water. Both equine colic and laminitis can be caused by this, so, eliminating the risk should be top priority.
With horse weight, the line between looking good and being a butterball can be pretty fine. But, in the war on laminitis, it’s important that your horse never become obese. Should your horse start looking chubby, consult with your veterinarian about the best combination of horse supplements, horse grain and hay to get your horse’s weight down. Create a plan based on the horse products your vet recommends and stay on-track.
Diarrhea in horses, metritis (a condition where the uterine lining becomes inflamed,) and peritonitis (where the thin tissue lining the abdominal walls becomes irritated or inflamed,) can stimulate the release of toxins into a horse’s bloodstream, setting the stage for laminitis. Get your vet on the phone ASAP should any of these conditions, surface.
Cart & driving horses are especially susceptible to laminitis brought on by excessive surface shock. If you have to take your horse on hard trails or pavement, don’t go faster than the walk and discuss specialty pads with your shoer. And, never let your horse’s feet grow overly long. Long hooves can trigger laminitis, due to the increased angle and pressure.
Last, but not least, stress can be a precursor to equine laminitis. Never tolerate a barn where the grooms or trainers are unkind or unnecessarily macho with your horse. Horses are sensitive beings.
Some horses won’t load easily into a horse trailer because they find the ride too stressful. In this case, you may want to test the trailer out. Check the floor for cushioning. Jump up and down and see how much noise the trailer makes. (Obviously, there should be no horses on board, much less, nearby, when you do this.) Lack of cushioning and overly harsh trailer noise should be avoided, at all costs. If necessary, get a new hauler who understands how to give your horse the most pleasant ride, possible.
Your horse’s digestive enzyme levels can play a key role in helping him avoid laminitis. If he’s on pain killers and taking anti-ulcer meds, make sure he’s monitored so that these products aren’t allowed to destroy his digestive enzyme balance. Without the right internal flora, his intestinal walls could become compromised, allowing blood toxins to flourish, impeding circulation and potentially triggering a laminitis episode.
Zen & The Art Of Feeding Horses With Laminitis.
Many people think you have to feed for horses with laminitis by practically starving the horse. Consult your vet about this. Most laminitis survivors do best on vitamins, minerals and forage feeds, in the right ratios. Alfalfa Hay and Straw Chaff may be recommended to help keep calcium levels up to par.
High fiber, low carbohydrate diets, balanced with equine supplements, should be the mainstay of virtually all horses, recuperating, competing or being used for pleasure. Senior horse feed is often recommended for older horses. While it’s a good idea to study up on horse feed, at the end of the day, you should always consult with your veterinarian about your horse’s diet, right down to the horse treats you select. Feeding horses who’ve experienced laminitis, the best possible diet, isn’t easy to do. There are so many supplements for horses and specialty feeds, it’s always recommended that you discuss your selections with the horse vet, you trust most.
Bottom line, all horses should be kept on low carbohydrate, high-fiber diets, enhanced with equine supplements. Most older horses should probably be fed senior horse feeds. Before considering adding specialized feeds such as senior horse feed, it’s always recommended that you consult with your horse’s veterinarian. To best determine the nutritional supplements necessary for your horse’s specific needs, be sure to consult with your vet. He’ll tell you that feeding horses for the best results doesn’t necessarily come down to what sounds the best. Ask your vet about every horse product you’re considering, right down to the horse treats and supplements for horses you’re considering.

While Spalding-Labs is renowned for their Fly Predators®, the amazing beneficial insects that stop house flies from successfully reproducing, they’re not interested in resting on their laurels. While thousands of horse owners across the U.S. have used Spalding-Labs Fly Predators to eliminate the majority of their house fly problems, there’s always the issues of visitor flies. Any neighbor living with 1/4 mile of you that has large animals, is going to be the source of visitor flies. Given that Fly Predators rarely stray more than 150 feet from the place they originally hatched, they’re not going to be able to help you stop visitor flies. Nearby neighbors with many animals can be the source of a continual onslaught of visitor flies.
