Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer! We are right in the middle of horse season - trail rides, rodeos, clinics, shows - there is so much going on its hard to keep track! Whether you are busy competing for a year end buckle or enjoying a leisurely ride on the beach, you will appreciate the deals Rainbow Ag has for you this month.
New in the Lakeport store, Justin Boots! Rainbow started carrying quality Justin work and western boots in Ukiah a few months ago, but just now have finished the beautiful display and stocked the shelves with styles of Justin boots for Men, Women and Kids in the Lakeport store.
Rainbow's Equine Representative Beth Schwarz found some really fun new products that are sure to spice up your favorite pony's looks - Pony Paints! Check 'em out in Beth's column below. 
Also new in the stores, Purina's new Strategy Healthy Edge feed - a completely balanced feed with added fat and controlled starches and sugars to give your horse a shiny coat and healthy hooves, but without the extra calories for our light-work, easy-keeper horses.

What would you do if you were dealing with horses in a major accident such as an overturned trailer, or stuck in a ravine in the back country? The Little Lake Fire Protection District in Willits plans to bring Large Animal Rescue Training to Mendocino County!Training will be provided by the Felton Fire Department who has been offering this training for over 10 years throughout California, Utah, Missouri and Oklahoma. This is a two day certificate course and will cost $200 per person. The Felton Fire Department started this training after a horse went off a trail in a state park in 1996 and fell into a steep ravine. Sadly it was not saved because the community members who responded did not have the training or equipment necessary. The Felton Fire Department (many are horse owners themselves) saw the need to learn how to not only save injured riders but also their horses. They respond to over a dozen calls per year for horses down in pastures or on the trail or in overturned horse trailers. They have helped not only horses, but llamas, cows and buffalo too. If you are interested in taking this class, call the Little Lake Fire District office (707-459-6271) and leave a message for Chris Wilkes. A minimum of 25 people are needed to schedule a class.
