We’re veterinarians, we’re horse owners, we’re competitors and we’re horse lovers. We’re the Merial team behind the Outbreak Alert program.

Just like you, we find it frustrating to sift through so much misinformation and noise to find equine disease information that’s current, reliable and relevant. But what really troubles us is the number of horses that get sick or even die, year after year, from diseases that may have been avoided with proper vaccination and better access to risk information.

This isn’t a situation our community should accept. And the Outbreak Alert program has a few simple goals to help us change it:

Fast Back Ropes is excited to announce an addition to their arsenal of premiere ropes.  The new Redline rope is in stock now and ready ship!  Head ropes available in XXS, XS, S, and MS.  Heel ropes are available in S, MS, M, and HM.

Fast Back has enjoyed an overwhelming response to their last rope released in 2010, the Natural. The Natural was built with a slightly deader feel than other Fast Back ropes, and an accented tip feel. All feedback indicates that ropers love the Natural. There are some who crave a lighter, snappier version of this best seller, so master rope-maker, Al Benson, started development on a new rope based on these requests. After months of testing, the Redline was born.

The Redline is a nylon-poly blend that is red in color. The Redline is slightly smaller and lighter than the Natural with some of the same desirable characteristics that make the Natural so popular.

“We anticipate the Redline will appeal to both headers and heelers,” explains Al Benson. “This rope is made with a unique poly fiber developed specifically for the Redline.”

The Redline will be available in stores October 1, 2011.
