“ One ‘ Grand Champion ’ wasn ’ t enough for us .” So claims Richard Barrie , Rayette ’ s Director of Marketing and an exhibitor of quarter horses .
Rayette Custom Products introduced Grand Champion Instant Coat Brightener and Conditioner over one year ago . This easy-to-use aerosol spray , with absqrbable lanolin for a beautiful coat shine , achieved immediate acceptance from leading horse breeders and exhibitors .
The second entry was Grand Champion Body Wash / Brace / Liniment , a unique 3-in-l product . It ’ s a wash that cleans away sweat , mud and dirt ; a brace that stimulates the hide ; used full strength , it ’ s a liniment .
Now there are 3 new “ Grand Champions .” Each is a special formulation that fills a particular need for the breeder or exhibitor .
Grand Champion Conditioning Spray with Fly-Repellent shines and conditions just like the regular Coat Brightener — and it repels horse flies , stable flies , house flies , gnats and mosquitos .
Grand Champion Protein Shampoo conditions the skin and coat as it cleans . Since it ’ s non-detergent , it won ’ t irritate or dry out the coat . . . actually leaves a healthy , brigTit coat .
Grand Champion ’ s most versatile product is ‘ Leather Treat .’ It ’ s faster , easier to use , and more effective than any other leather-care product , claims Rayette . It cleans ; gives new life to badly worn leather ; and it shines and protects leather ... all in one quick , simple application !
“ Now with 5 products , the Grand Champion line offers the horseman the specialized , quality products he needs and wants ,” asserts Richard Barrie .
