SFH is proud to announce Horseland of Australia (www.horseland.com.au) has joined its international dealers and will handle orders via Horseland, a family-owned and operated business that opened in 1978 and has evolved into Australia's largest equestrian retailer, with 54 stores nationwide. Queensland's Horseland Ipswich, Horseland Gold Coast and Horseland Jindalee now carry Silver Whinnys on their shelves and can ship to any location in Australia.

“It turned out that Kathryn Hill, the manager/owner of Horseland Ipswich, Gold Coast and Jindalee, owns a horse with photosensitivity-driven EPD (Equine Pastern Dermatitis). She found out about our product while searching online for a solution for her own horse and Sox are handling it beautifully."

"There is no better name in equine tack and supplies than Horseland in Australia and we are looking forward to working with them to ensure plenty of Silver Whinnys are available for purchase as Spring and the EPD- and biting fly-season begins,” says Petterson. “If there is one dealer to have 'down under' it's Horseland and we're excited to have them stock Sox.”

SFH also welcomes its first UK dealer, Mini Horse Sales, LTD (www.minihorsesales.co.uk) of Rutland, the largest Miniature Horse sales site in the United Kingdom. “MinihorseSales is proud to be the UK stockists of Sox For Horses in all sizes,” says Amanda Breakell. “Due to demand, we have taken onboard this wonderful opportunity to work alongside the USA and supply the Great British public with this amazing product.”

“Thanks to Amanda,” Petterson adds, “donkey-sized Silver Whinnys are also on the way to The Donkey Sanctuary. TDS is a huge group, respected worldwide, with facilities in Manchester, Exmouth, Hurdlow, Ballypalady and Sidmouth. They sing our praises and we're flattered and excited to make these broad-reaching connections.”

Petterson also announces that New Zealand distributor, The Horsewear House, is “reporting greater interest in our Sox than ever before, with New Zealand veterinarians especially taking note.” SFH is distributed in New Zealand through Shona Milsom of The Horsewear House, ltd. in Porirua.

SFH dealers can be found in Alberta (I'd Rather Be Riding) and Ontario Village (Hardware & Tack Shop) Canada; Berlin, Germany at Open Country (www.opencountry.eu) and Bazoches Sur Guyonne, France at VLC Europe.

“We're always open to establishing more international dealers to handle growing demand. International customers with questions can also always reach our main office by email (soxforhorses@gmail.com),” says Petterson.

Since 2007 SFH has helped owners better help their equines while adding jobs to American manufacturing. Silver Whinnys™ and Whinny Warmers ® are Made In America. Learn more and find a complete list of dealers at www.soxforhorses.com or call (850) 907-5724.
