Our beautiful yearling colt Tooravale Picasso finished his show season on a fantastic high note after attending the Northern Border RPG run Autumn Welsh Show on 12th March. Picasso achieved Champion Welsh B colt, Supreme Champion Youngstock Welsh B exhibit and topped his wins off with Supreme Champion Welsh B exhibit Thank you Eco 2000 for your fantastic Conditioning Shampoo and Show Off. I wouldn't be without them for my show team, they give such brilliant results. You've spoiled me as I won’t use anything else now! Lisa O'Neill Marconi Pony Stud , Garfield, Victoria: www.marconistud.com We are on tank water and having to be extremely cautious of the amount of water that we use, due to the drought, we were inevitably going to have to sacrifice having nice clean horses to ride. That is until I discovered Eco2000 Conditioning Shampoo. Nicole Pearce President Horses in Drought Incorporated

| My daughter and I just play with our ponies for fun....but we love your Show Off because it is fantastic of ponies with huge thick tails....so less stressful keeping them clean and knot free, and as for the Conditioning Shampoo.....we are on tank water so we stress having to get a white pony ready for a show or any comp.....thank God for not having to rinse with gallons and gallons of our precious water!!! I just love the way your products leave their coats too (they feel almost as good as sheep skin on a bare butt!!! (that is between us ok!!) No better way to describe the feel after they are dry and
brushed! We use the Healthy Hoof ‘n’ Skin as well on our little founder pony as she has pretty ordinary feet and tends to get yucky skin....fixes her up in no time!! We haven't looked back since using Eco2000 products...we buy ours from Lowden's Saddle in Kilmore Cheers Andie and Jaime Faust loves to look his best while competing in his Dressage tests, that’s
why we love the grooming range from ECO 2000!!! The Conditioning Shampoo gives his coat a natural shine and feel, while it
also helps to eliminate that awful static you get when you take off the rugs. We use the Conditioning Shampoo on a weekly basis as it doesn’t strip the coat of its natural oils and keeps it looking real healthy.
We find the Show Off works great to add shine to the coat before competing,
it is also great for adding to manes and tails for detangling. It repels
the dust, but also doesn’t make the coat slippery, it really does add to the
final winning appearance!!!
I use the Eco 2000 Conditioning Shampoo, Show Off and Healthy Hoof 'n' Skin. I have found all these products great value. Halter Showcase 2004

Dear
Annie, Since we found your products in I999 through Equitana Asia Pacific's Mane Event Sponsorship, we haven't used anything else on our horses. Show Off was the first product that convinced us as, apart from it's non-chemical nature (that has improved our horse's coats no end I must say), we saw first hand during the Mane Event performances that it just doesn't attract dust as the other "shine" products do. As we have both Hack and Dressage competition horses, we have had ample opportunity in the last 3 years to successfully test this. However, the products that have really helped our lives have been the Healthy Hoof and Wet-a-Way. The Healthy Hoof has been wonderful in improving the condition of the horse's feet generally - particularly with our Thoroughbred who always had cracked feet no matter how much oil we put on. As you are aware, our property in Woodend Victoria is area notorious for its incredibly long and wet winters. Our greatest problem with these conditions has been trying to keep Mud Fever at bay and we have used just about every remedy on the market. After your advice last year, we began to use the Healthy Hoof to treat this condition and were amazed with the quick results. After just a week of treatment, the swelling had almost gone and the legs were looking drier with a healthier skin colour. After two weeks the condition disappeared completely. We continued to spray it on the legs when doing feet and did not have another incidence all through the winter - for the first time in three years! We were also extremely happy with the Wet-a-Way, and Woodend is an excellent test for waterproofing products! After two good sprays, we didn't have any damp cottons during the whole season - a first for us. So, in closing, I would like to thank you for developing the best range of Equine products on the market and let you know that, because we care about our horses, we will continue to use Eco2000 in the future. Kind regards, Colleen Lethbridge

I4th March 2000.
Dear Annie, Re: eco 2000 We thought we would drop you a line with the news of our wonderful win at Crufts (the UK's top and most prestigious dog show). 'Harmony' Australian Champion Bouvet Harmony Of Krystalcove won the bitch CC and BOB and was short-listed in the group and made it onto national television, we were so very excited and proud. Many people commented on how wonderful her coat looked and indeed the other dogs we were showing there. As you know we only use eco 2000 products on our dogs so credit has to also go to you and your range of products for the wonderful condition and finish on our dogs. Since that show there are many exhibitors using the 'Conditioning Shampoo' and 'Show Off grooming spray. Mind you, we particularly love the Healthy Hoof product. I have never seen anything clear 'hotspots’ so fast. It stops itching and scratching extremely quickly and is now becoming 'in demand'. We hope that all the products you make for dogs and horses are making the inroads they deserve. Thanks once again for letting us bring Eco 2000 to the UK. Kindest regards, KRYSTALCOVE

Having
been given a sample of the
eCO2000 Healthy Hoof,
I decided to try it. First of all I used it on a visiting mare who arrived
with a terrible case of mud fever on all four of her legs, each with white
markings. It was one of the worst cases I have ever come across. After one
week of applying Healthy Hoof twice daily to her legs, they looked healthy
again. I also used the product on an eventer who came in with a soundness problem. The farrier and I got to work. The shoes were removed and the feet trimmed in a remedial way. The farrier was to manufacture shoes for his front feet, so in the meantime I used Healthy Hoof. Ten days later the farrier remarked on how his hooves had grown and that they were in a healthy state with lots to work with. Never before have I endorsed a product, but I have full confidence in Healthy Hoof and will continue to use it. Jan Miller Freedom Quarter Horses, Yellingbo, Victoria. | |

Hi
Annie
I
just wanted to write and thank you for the eco 2000 range. I have owned
Newfoundlands in the Northern Territory for over 20 years, and it has
always been a battle to find a shampoo and conditioner that maintained
coat condition.
The
first product I used was your conditioning Shampoo. I put roughly I/2 cup
through my hydrobath, and was amazed at the amount of dirt that ended up
in the tub!! I didn't think they were that dirty!! Once they were dry I
found that the coats had maintained their natural oil content and sat
naturally and did not "fly-away". They looked so good I just let
them dry naturally for the show and saved myself the trouble of
blow-drying them. The next day they looked even better! I now wash them
the day before the show and they look great.
I
then tried the Show Off. This product has been a godsend for me with the
brown dog. I was forever battling bleaching and knots like you wouldn't
believe. I had tried many expensive "oils". but the condition of
his coat between shows was revolting to say the least. Now, all I do is
rinse him in Show Off after a bath in the conditioning shampoo and he
hardly ever has a knot, and his coat maintains his natural condition. I
now routinely put a cup of Show Off in the hydrobath, and put all dogs
through a rinse after a bath. It has halved my brushing workload.
Product
number three! The Healthy Hoof
I tried this on my old boy who has a chronic skin condition. He had
to have weekly baths or he was not nice to be near! Healthy Hoof contains
Teatree oils, so I figured it was worth a try. I put I/2 cup in the
hydrobath and rinsed him thoroughly. I repeated this weekly for a while
and then realised the odour had gone and he wasn’t scratching any more.
He now only has to suffer a bath once a month - and he and I are much
happier.
Thank
you Annie and Eco2000, you've made my life much easier, and not to mention
- MUCH CLEANER!!!! As well as having a horse rug repair service, I also have a cleaning and waterproofing horse rug service. Before encountering on what waterproofing agent that I should use, I did some research into canvas manufacturing, and came up with some surprising results. One being that harsh chemicals to waterproof canvas was extremely detrimental to the natural fibres in canvas, so I was looking at a waterproofing agent that was compatible to canvas and also synthetic horse rugs, but also had the durability of being water repellent and that could stand up to the wear and tear that horses tend to give to these rugs. After using eco-2000 Wet-a-Way is very compatible with both synthetic and canvas and conditions the canvas fibres leaving the canvas soft and flexible. There are no harsh vapours when applying Wet-a-Way, so it can be applied in an enclosed area and spraying the Wet-a-Way makes for easy application with no waste. This is a product that I have been using for over I2 months and I am satisfied that I am using a product that will keep the longevity of horse rugs, without being detrimental, and also satisfies my clients. Yours faithfully, Moira Treacy DROMANA

Dear Ms Hubber, Next, I tried in on an Afghan, which I was preparing
for a show. The usually unmanageable coat was transformed and was shiny
and silky with no residue. However, I have to admit my favourite use for
Eco2000 Show Off, is when it's lightly sprayed onto a matted Poodle or
Maltese cross and gently rubbed in with the hands. It conditions the coat
and improves the texture, making grooming out a cinch. I thought you might like this information, as when I
was sold the product I was only told about its glossy appearance on Smooth
coats. Next I am going to try it on my own two Persian Cats. I am now
looking forward to the arrival of your new conditioning shampoo and would
appreciate a call when it arrives. Yours sincerely, Dawn McKinnon.

Over
the last couple of months, I have been testing a range of products from
the ECO 2000 range with some exceptional results. Annie Hubber from eCO
2000 rang me and we decided to road test the following products:
eCO 2000 HEALTHY HOOF'N'SKIN
This
was the first ever spray-on hoof treatment available. It has a unique
blend of I00% natural moisturising and antiseptic oils, combined with
select minerals in a water base, which makes it easy to use.
I
used a 500ml bottle of Healthy Hoof on my mare who has no shoes on ,at the
end of the bottle her feet seemed to have a better texture. I believe,
that to get a true indication of this product, one would have to use it
for at least three months. I found that the product was VERY easy to
apply, and that was the selling point for me. An acquaintance of mine has
been using the product for nearly a year, and swears by it. She says that
her horse's feet have never looked better. A product well worth using. eCO
2000 CONDITIONING SHAMPOO
This
particular shampoo is not like any of the other shampoos I have used on my
horses. The one thing I noticed, and had to try and get used to, was that
it did not create any foam.
eCO
2000 believe that high foaming products which use a lot of chemicals, are
a thing of the past. The chemicals do more harm than good to the horse's
coat. I can see how this is true, but I felt that I probably used too much
of the product initially, because I could NOT see where the suds had been,
and was not sure where I had washed.
I
liked the idea that I only had to use one product to wash my horse, as I
normally use four (shampoo, purple shampoo, black shampoo & coat
conditioner). Time saving was a big plus. The other thing I noticed was that Mishka stayed clean LONGER and her coat remained softer
far longer after being washed
in the Conditioning Shampoo. I also used the
shampoo on both my pooches - Harley with long hair and Cheyenne
with short thick hair. Harley was EXTREMELY dirty when I washed
him, and it was interesting to see how the dirt just slid out. I
didn't think anything would
get the dirt out, but the ECO 2000 did. His coat was lovely and soft and
smelt wonderful. Same results with Cheyenne, and the shampoo seemed to get
right into her thick coat, to give her a lovely
clean and soft feel. A
good product, as long as you can get used to it not foaming, and not use
too much of it, otherwise it becomes expensive. eCO
2000 SHOW OFF
This
is my favourite of all the eC0
200O products. I trialed this product
Show
Off allows you to apply a complete grooming treatment for horses,
dogs and also cattle in one easy application. The natural colour
and sheen of your animal's coat is ensured, while essential minerals
provide it with a soft, easy
to manage feel, that means tangles and knots in long
coats and tails disappear. Grooming animals with double coats
becomes a breeze rather than a lengthy chore.
Show
Off is so easy to use. Simply spray a small amount onto your horse's or
dogs coat, mane or tail in a sweeping action. You do not need to saturate
the area. A little Show Off goes a long way. You can even spray it on your
hands and rub it into the animals’ coat. Brush or comb Show 0ff into the
coat as you would normal grooming. Best results occur on semi damp or dry
coats. A great product and one which I will use more of. Des Miller Back to top | |

Dear Annie, Re: EC0 200O TM Sponsorship - Equitana Asia Pacific 200I Mane Event We would like to thank you, once more, for your participation as Sponsor for the Mane Event. As in I999, both we and our performers found the Eco 2000 products to be invaluable throughout the event. From my perspective as Director of a the show, the Show Off was a real boon as its ability to not attract dust meant that in the intense theatre lighting, the horses did not have that "*grey" look to them, but continued to look sleek and shining to the end. This factor was even more apparent in the video footage that we used not only as a sellable product for our patrons, but in our promotional videos and television advertising as well. Our performers, some of whom may have been a bit sceptical in the beginning, all raved about the products and those that were also in the '99 event told me that they have continued to use them since then. One of our new performers in 200I was a bit concerned about using new products because her horse has a tendency towards allergies. However, after two days she beamingly informed me that his skin condition was much better than when he arrived! We hope that the Equitana Asia Pacific / Eco2000 relationship will continue this year, our first in Brisbane, and into the future with other Equitana Asia Pacific events. Yours sincerely, Colleen

Healthy
Hoof
I'm an absolute fan of eco2000 - it is so easy to use compared with oils and creams, great for the summer because it dries quickly and if used before work doesn't get worn off by the arena sand. The great thing about it is that it heals nicks and scratches around the heels as well... it is this aspect that was especially helpful as my horse gets a recurring fungal-type problem in the crease of the frog. The eco2000 Healthy Hoof is easy to squirt into the crack and helps tremendously to clean up the problem. Really simple, healthy
maintenance. Thanks for a great product. Regards
