A) These courses prompt your browser to open an additional window known as a pop-up. Many browsers have pop-up blockers on them to prevent you from getting unwanted advertising. You'll have to disable your pop-up blocker to view these courses. We're in the process of developing a tutorial for how to do this depending on your web browser. In the mean time if you can't figure it out use your help menu...this is a common question and most are equipped to easily turn off.

A) Land O'Lakes Purina feed does not have the right to use the Purina Brand outside the United States. The Purina horse products you purchased in Canada or other parts of the world are manufactured by a different company. With that said the coupons international users would receive would be invalid. We also have not set up the site to ship the merchandise internationally.

However, if you exchange for a hat and pay the $6.49, then earn additional hours later and decide to get a shirt, you will be asked to pay the $6.49 again. That's why we recommend pooling your items together on one order so you're only charged one time.
