ABOUT
US
Kee-Port, Inc. was established in 1987
to develop, manufacture, and market digital electronic personal security systems, and horse related computer software.
Our other activities included breeding miniature and quarter horses for over 20 years, and the operation of an all-breed foaling facility for over 10 years.
During the time we operated our foaling facility, we had the opportunity to use and test various foaling alarm systems and devices. It was our experience that some systems did not give enough warning, in some cases, to correct any problems with the birth. It was also our experience that the two halter foaling alarm systems we tested would false alarm when the mare would eat and drink. Due to the manner in which the transmitter was mounted under the mares lower jaw, it would hang up on buckets, feeders, etc. and tilt enough to set off an alarm. It would also get wet when the mare drank.
With our company's knowledge and experience of electronic alarm systems, we decided to develop our own brand of foaling alarm. We chose to develop a non-invasive halter foaling alarm that would mount the transmitter in a manner where it would not hang up or get wet while the mare was eating or drinking. As a result of this effort, we developed our EquiPage system. Our system has the transmitter mounted across under the mares head near the throatlatch, as opposed to going up and down under the lower jaw. We made the transmitter smaller and lighter in weight. Our system was the first to provide a programmable pocket pager and our own auto dialer so alarms can be sent by telephone. Our repeater also has an internal battery that will keep the system going in case of an electrical power failure.
We tested and refined EquiPage at our foaling facility for over 2 years before putting it on the market , where it has become a huge success around the globe.
We were the first to develop and market a Telephone - Halter Foaling Alarm. Our EquiFone system is the number one selling telephone halter foaling alarm, in the world.
In 2005 we purchased
Estate Horse Supply to enhance our line
of quality products that we offer to the horse industry.
To clear up any confusion that is being generated by one of our competitors, we would like our customers and potential customers to know that:
We have never been associated with any other foaling alarm.
We have never sold any other brand of foaling alarm.
Our products were independently designed and developed by our company, Kee-Port, Inc., and have nothing to do with any other brand of foaling alarm.
Our product names - EquiPage and EquiFone - are registered with the US Patent and Trademark office under numbers 76492108 and 75720481.
This same competitor falsely advertises as the "original" halter foaling alarm. The fact is, the "original" halter foaling alarm was developed by another company in the late 70's. The developer of the "original" halter foaling alarm states that this competitor was a distributor of their product, but they then copied and produced the product under the name they are still using today.
