This little point-and-shoot beauty is waterproof up to 20 feet, snaps a 12.1 megapixel image, records 720p HD video, and brings the action in close with a 5X wide angle zoom lense. The onboard LED flash provides plenty of light, and the large 2.7" LCD viewer makes it easy to see what you’re shooting - even through goggles. Included with the camera is a handy carabiner and strap, so you can hang your Optio W90 off a belt loop or pommel bag for quick draw shooting.

Two Great Cowboy Hats from Bailey Western

Bailey has been making cowboy hats since 1922. That’s the year that George S. Bailey founded the Los Angeles, CA company that bears his name today. Many a Hollywood leading man has had his picture taken in a Bailey hat. In the 1930’s and 40’s luminaries such as Bing Crosby, Buster Crabbe, and Gary Cooper all appeared in advertising for Bailey hats. Shown above are the Albion and Tornado from the Bailey Western Collection. Side-by-side, the 100X Albion (left-side of photo) is the slightly more refined hat with a 4" brim and cattleman style crown, but the 20X Tornado is no slouch with an equally wide 4" brim and vented stockman’s crown. Both of these hats are built Bailey tough for riding, or a night out on the town.

Control Those Pesky Horse Flies with 100% Natural Fly Predators

Fly predators are natural enemies of the common pest fly. Looking a little like tiny ants with wings, fly predators love to attack and kill pest fly larva before they get a chance to mature. For horse folk with fly control problems, Spalding Labs has raised up an army of fly predators that can be shipped direct-to-consumer for do-it-yourself pest management. Shipped in the pupal (cocoon) stage, fly predators will start to emerge in the shipping package 2-7 days after arrival in summer (later when cooler). After emergence starts, just sprinkle the fly predators near all areas where there is, or was, fresh manure (or other rotting organic matter). As soon as these little beauties hit the ground they’ll be on the job looking for pest fly larva. Fly predators can also be effective around spoiled hay, feed, round bale feeders, and grass clippings. For all-natural protection against the common pest fly, try a bag of fly predators. Shipped in quantities sufficient to protect up to 25 horses. Monthly application in summer.
