Stores in zip lock bag. Cuts like a hot knife through butter! It took two of us ladies a minute or two, working together to cut a treated 4 inch square fence post.	The Unbelievable Saw®: A hand-held, flexible, lightweight saw that cuts limbs faster than you'd believe possible, even in the tightest spots. This is why it is called the "Unbelievable" saw (or as we like to say, a pocket chain saw because) it can fit into a pocket). Easily cut through a 3 inch tree limb, the toughest wood, the thickest brush, around corners, under fences, around roots, along fence rows and even over high limbs in less than 20 seconds with the Unbelievable Saw®. This saw is a must have. PERIOD. If you ride through wooded lands, clear trails; are an outdoors enthusiast, a gardener, hunter, backpacker, fisherman, hiker, professional tree trimmer, homeowner or camper you can’t possibly imagine how WONDERFUL this saw is. Our only regret is that we did not find this years ago! Details: Extremely fast and easy to use; doesn't require great strength. (To the right is Lorrie, who we caught cleaning up the WONDERFUL trails at the Little Missouri State Park in ND from horse back using this incredible saw!) This unusually lightweight saw weighs just 5 ounces and makes cutting branches over your head a breeze. Just throw the saw over the branch and whiz it off. For commercial use, this saw cuts 2 x 4 lumber and PVC pipe (great for tight areas, such as inside walls between studs or in the bottom of a ditch). The saw has 92 bi-directional cutting teeth so it cuts in both directions it can be used by one or two people and the unique design makes it much less likely to bind while cutting. This 21-inch saw is made of high strength, heat-treated steel and is coated for rust resistance, which makes it stay sharp almost indefinitely. If it ever needs sharpening, a normal flat file does the job. This pocket sized saw comes in handy zip-lock plastic pouch which is easy to store, (folds up to 4 x 2 x 1.5 bundle) and requires as much room as a crumpled up handkerchief! – Fits in your POCKET, BACK-PACK or SADDLE BAG. Made in the USA and makes a truly useful, original gift that will be appreciated. We LOVE this saw - it is phenomenal - so much so that we are still shaking our heads in amazement!

	Neoprene Crupper - A crupper will hold the back of the saddle down, as well as keep the saddle in place when going downhill. If you do not use a crupper when going downhill, your saddle may run into your mount's rotating shoulder and the girth may run into his elbow /arm pit area-with the potential of galling and soring him terribly. A crupper also will keep your saddle from ending up on your mount's neck! The proper use of a crupper can help alleviate both. This crupper has a pliable braided nylon core for strength, and is sleeved with soft Neoprene that actually doesn’t chafe! The tail loop has bridle snaps on both ends so it rides balanced and has two long center straps of black nylon webbing that can be easily adjusted either long or short for different backed horses. Stainless Steel Hardware. HVF-Exclusive. To properly adjust the crupper: Square your horse up, adjust the crupper so you can lift it off the rump 3” to 4” inches. The loop on this crupper can be purchase separately. Item # HR-C – Price $45.00 Double Strap Crupper - Item # HR-C2 - Price $55.00 Loop Item # HR-Loop - Price $20.00. With EASY to use Stainless Steel clip snaps
	Breeching: This is REAL breeching that is user friendly to all. Designed with horses in mind. Why use breeching? Breeching helps stabilize a load more than any crupper, and is also nicer to the animal. Some horses and mules do not like a crupper, or they put up their tail up or hold it off to the side and off goes the crupper. Some equines have such a difficult tail set it is very hard to properly set a crupper and the animal ends up galled or worse yet, ornery and may buck. Thanks to Ronda and Clete from CR Ass Ranch, we took breeching to a whole new level. Made with \ your loved one in mind. This breeching is half the weight anything else on the market. Stronger than any leather and more stable with ten - yes 10 – 1 inch soft nylon straps from 30 to 40 inches long to accommodate both small and huge equines. All the hardware is stainless, no more rust ever. The ten stainless steel sliders and 6 swivel trigger snaps make for quick and easy adjustments, on and off. Gone for good are those horrible Conway buckles and dry, brittle – rotten leather that is impossible to work with. The strap is now 3 inches wide and 37 inches long and completely padded with the HVF Soft-Touch padding. No more cutting into and galling your animals’ buttocks. This is the most awesome breeching ever developed by real mule and horse riders alike – we all hope you love it as much as we do! Comes in black or brown. Item #: HR-BR –Price $198.00
	Neoprene Tail Protector: Designed to help prevent rubbing of tail-hair and protect the tailbone during trailer travel. An absolute must-have for horses that are hauled in straight-load trailers, who either sit or ride with their rear-ends on the butt bar or on the metal divide. (Trust us it will take a complete summer for tail hair to grow back in--but over a year if the rub wears a bald spot.) Available in black, hunter green, red or royal blue. Specify color. Item # HR-TAIL - Price $15.00
	Bells: Bells are commonly used to alert wild life when you are riding and are used on high-lines, picket-lines and fencing to alert owners when things are getting out of control and require attention. The large cowbell is copper and measures 4 x 3 x 2 and has a deeper ring. The smaller liberty bell is brass and measures 2 x 2.5 inches and has a tingly ring. Item # HR-CB Price $4.50 cow bell or Item # HR-LB Price $2.00 for the liberty bell. How to use bells
Video of use	Picket Line Tightener: This "tight rope" is the ONLY way to tighten up your sagging picket/high line. It is so easy and yet ingenious (we were the inventor's inspiration for this gizmo, after he saw us struggling with our self-tightening knots). You may think about making one yourself but for the price offered… forget it. Just order one, you will never be sorry. How to use: Put your rope up and make it as tight as you can by hand. Then position the two knobs of the tightener so that the rope runs between them. Then firmly hold the tightener and begin to walk-twisting the tightner so that the rope twists around the knobs of the tightner. When very tight, latch the clip on the line. HVF-Exclusive. Item # HR-PT – Price $25.00 Safety Tip When horse camping, space your leads 20 to 24 feet apart, giving each animal an area that is 10 to 12 feet. Set the length of the animals lead long enough where they can lie down. Make sure that he is 8 to 10 feet away from any vehicle, trailer or trees. Photos of picket line equipment in use
	Twist n’ Flex: This handy twist is perfect for so many uses. The strong, plastic-coated iron wire is 32 inches long.

No messing with baler twine and then with scissors or knife cutting it loose. This is a wonderful product to have with a price that cannot be beat. Packaged as a pair of two, red color. Item # HR-TW- Price $9.99
	No-Knot Eliminator Picket Fastener: By popular demand, I’ve included this picket fastener.

With this No-Knot-Eliminator I can absolutely guarantee a secure hold! Item # HR-KNOT - Price $5.99 Safety Tip When horse camping, space your leads 20 to 24 feet apart, giving each animal an area that is 10 to 12 feet.

	The Horse Positioner: At last a picket or high line fastener that you can put on both a high-line cable and a picket rope too!

Position your hay bags, feed bags and horses and reposition them with total ease. We offer a 2-inch ring for an additional $1.00. This ring will allow for a quicker release of your lead rope. To use the horse positioner: 1) Hold the positioner with your hand by the copper crimp in front of the line and about 2" above it. 2) With your other hand take the bottom of the "horse positioner" and bring it up behind the picket line and through its self and over, forming a "larks head knot". 3) Repeat step 2 two more times. 4) Pull the loop down and straighten the rope so that copper clip is flat in front and the coils of rope are not over each other. 5) To test, slide "the horse positioner" side to side with your hand on the rope coils (not the bottom loop), next pull side ways with the bottom loop and it will lock each way. 6) Note, if the loop is too long, repeat step 2. Item # HR-HP - Price $4.00 each or 4 for $15.00 Optional ring - Price $1.00 Video for rope line and Video for cable or fixed line. For additional ring: $1.00 to each fastener.

The Smart Tie The versatile adjustable screw setting allows easy adjustment of the rope length and the most “give” if the horse pulls back. Soft setting recommended for slippery indoor surfaces. A medium setting will hold your horse securely but will allow the animal a little slack if it does pull back. We recommend this setting for most situations. A locked setting will lock the rope in place for no pull.	The Clip: Even the calmest of horses can struggle with pressure on occasion and "The Clip" solves this problem. When a horse is tied to something solid and pulls back, pressure is created at the horse’s poll. This pressure can induce panic. "The Clip" has various attachment settings (see details to left) to allow relief from the pressure. If the horse does pull back the panic is stopped before injury from falling, running away or even having its neck snap. The clip keeps the horse safe inside and outside the trailer and is great on a picket line, especially one that does not give. Item # HR-CLIP - Price $18.50 (reg$22.95) THE SMART TIE -The Clip: Video Question - for you... Tired of having cross-ties break? Or just not being fast enough to grab the quick release in the heat of the moment? Or basically any traditional snap breaking? Or best yet a quick release knot that is now too tight to pull loose even by the strongest of persons? Well, I am!

I thought of another idea for the use of the "wrist swap"!!! My horse is now cured of her barn sourness, and now I attach the swap onto the middle of my reins, so it's there for use "in case", and I can also use it when my horse bends down to drink....I just grab it and she has all the rein she needs to get her head down, and I don't have to lean way over to keep a hold of the reins. It works great! It also gives me an extra leather strap in case I need to tie something to my saddle, or fix broken tack while on the trail. It's always there, and never in my way! I love it! Thanks so much, Kelly Ankney

	PORTABLE ELECTRIC FENCING In as mush as I have seen; from poorly designed and installed electric fencing, I am compelled to realize that it is only under certain conditions that this type of fencing is necessary. Thus, for portable corrals to be used when camping, we offer Gallagher Fencing which we have found to be the best product. It is well-designed to avoid improper installation and helps avoid injury to your horses. While we do not generally recommend portable corrals for your animals while camping, this fencing does meet our strict quality standards for those occasions when there is no viable alternative. While not shown on this web site or in the Catabook, we can also provide you with fencing supplies for permanent livestock operations. (http://www.gallagherusa.com/) The package that I have put together IS NOT the pre-pack sold by Gallagher that is the quickie kit made for the sand box type ground. The products selected are made for real horse camping with hard ground and for years of use. You get what you pay for. Click Here to go to page
