Pyranha Announces Sponsorship of 2011 Road to the Horse Legends

Pyranha, the nation's leader in insect control, has announced their sponsorship of the Road to the Horse Legends in Murfreesboro, TN on February 25-27, 2011. Featuring Pat Parelli, Chris Cox and Clinton Anderson, the event also has an all-star cast with host Rick Lamb, founder and producer Tootie Bland and a remuda of horses from the legendary 6666 Ranch.

As part of their sponsorship, Pyranha will be handing out product samples to Road to the Horse attendees. Wipe N' Spray, a favorite of show horse owners, will be distributed during the three days of the sold-out event.

A pyrethrum-based formula that is applied directly on the animal, this ready-to-use product provides fly protection and imparts a high sheen to the hair when brushed out. Wipe N' Spray is citronella scented, contains lanolin as a coat conditioner and provides effective protection results with only 1 to 2 ounces per head. Effective on biting flies, mosquitoes, gnats, fleas and ticks, Road to the Horse attendees will soon find Pyranha to be their new favorite equine product.

In addition to handing out free samples of product, Pyranha will have a vendor booth inside the Tennessee Miller Coliseum. Horse owners are encouraged to stop by with any questions or to pick up product information and brochures.

Pyranha Offers Horse & Dog Pyrethrin Shampoo With Benefits

Pyranha, the nation's leader in insect control, offers horse and dog owners a shampoo with benefits. Pyranha Pyrethrin Shampoo provides cleaning power, detangling prowess and fly control in one convenient product.

Pyrethrin Shampoo works double duty as you can use the same product on both your horses and dogs. Instead of buying two or even three products for your four-legged friends, Pyranha offers an all-in-one solution.

An insecticidal shampoo rich in coconut conditioners, Pyrethrin Shampoo aids in building body, luster and groomability to your animal's coat. While controlling stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, face flies, gnats and mosquitoes on horses, it is highly effective against fleas, ticks and lice when used as directed on dogs.

Pyrethrin, an organic compound found in chrysanthemums, provides both quick knock-down and insect death. By pairing pyrethrin with piperonyl butoxide, an insecticide synergist, Pyranha Pyrethrin Shampoo provides extremely effective protection. Available in a convenient, ready-to-use 32 ounce bottle, no mixing is required.

Clinician Ken McNabb Endorses Pyranha

A true blue American cowboy with a boyish enthusiasm for life and strong family values, Ken McNabb grew up in a traditional ranching family in the mountains of Wyoming . This modern day Roy Rogers knew from a young age that he wanted to help others. As a boy he was unsure of how he would achieve this, but it became crystal clear when he was 16 years old. Sitting in the audience at a horsemanship clinic, he knew within the first fifteen minutes that horsemanship and teaching was his calling.

Since then he has been changing people's lives through his weekly television show, instruction of clinics nationwide and special appearances at large expos. He still carries with him the passion and conviction he had as a young boy. Living his life on horseback has proven to be the ultimate way for McNabb to reach out to people and their horses.

Ken creates a unique environment where each horse is trained using gentle methods and the rider is coached to become their personal best. Ken's commitment to strong family values and patriotism, help make him the kind of speaker/trainer people enjoy.

In 2007, Ken competed in and won the Colt Starting Challenge at the Mane Event Expo in Vancouver , WA . In 2008, he competed at the prestigious Road to the Horse competition in Murfreesboro, TN against Chris Cox, Tommy Garland and Mike Kevil. In typical Ken McNabb style he won over spectators with his good natured approach and ability to develop a very aggressive colt into a willing partner. In October of 2008, Ken won the Trainers Challenge Colt Starting Competition in Chilliwack , BC Canada , beating out Charles Wilhelm and three time champion, Doug Mills, from Canada. He is slated to return to Road to the Horse as a competitor alongside Craig Cameron and returning winner Richard Winters at the March 2010 event.

Together, Ken, his wife DeeDee, and their two young sons Kurt and Trent live near Cody , Wyoming where they are dedicated as a family to teaching others to dream bigger, ride taller and live happier.

Houston , TX - Pyranha-the most trusted name in topical horse care-announces the release of its most innovative insect repellent to date, all-natural Zero-Bite.
