Champion of all he surveys.



Villa Rosa loves...

This affordable, easy to use, portable, wireless, color camera system makes hitching up your trailer a breeze.  No more frustrations of getting in and out of the truck in order to line-up your hitch.  Totally eliminates the need for a friend (or husband) to help you line up your trailer.
SWITCH  HITCH also has night vision for hooking up after a long day at a show.
SWIFT HITCH can also be used to monitor horses inside the trailer.  Especially useful taking a horse to the vet in an emergency.
Villa Rosa uses SWIFT HITCH and we absolutely LOVE it.
To get yours, or for more info. or  see a demo at Blue Horse Saddlery in Los Altos (650)948-1719.
