Colorado Mills opens a new U.S. Polo Association store today.  The brand carries clothing for men, womenand children as well as accessories, luggage, watches, shoes, home furnishings and more.  While many think this brand is a knock off of RL Polo, it is actually the original polo gear and is made under an exclusive labeling agreement by Jordache. A portion of all the USPA clothing sales benefits the United States Polo Association (USPA), which was created on March 21, 1890 by H. L. Herbert. The USPA was formed to act as the national governing body for the sport of polo in America and Canada. The USPA is dedicated to growing recognition for polo, organizing tournaments, establishing rules, creating educational programs, coordinating interscholastic and intercollegiate competitions, and providing the handicaps for polo players all over the country. The organization is continually creating new programs for people to learn the sport and develop American players, as well as maintaining guidelines for the safety and wellbeing of the polo ponies. There are over 250 clubs registered with the USPA and over 4,500 members. The USPA is always growing and building stronger roots for the sport of polo.  For more information visit:  www.uspolo.org.

It's that time of summer when colic can hit tired, dehydrated horses and sand often builds in horses pastured in sandy paddocks.  Two of our favorite products recommended by our veterinarians are BlueLite electrolite pellets and Sand Clear Crumbles. Equine BlueLite Pellets are so tasty, you don't even have to top dress them on feed.  Just pour a scoop in each horses bucket for them to receive added nutrients and electrolytes.  Our horses go straight to drinking a lot of water after eating the pellets, which is a reassuring process after a hard day of polo. In addition to having a balanced salt block available near the horses' water, BlueLite pellets provides instant results when your horse needs it most to restores the essential nutrients lost during heavy workout and improves recovery time.  While other remedies such as Morton Lite Salt also provides electrolites, we think the BlueLite pellets are worth the extra money for their ease of use.  The pellets provide salt and potassium chloride blended with iodide and a free-flowing agent.   BlueLite is a balanced electrolyte formula which is easily digestible, non-abrasive, and contains essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
