For as long
as I can remember the red and white checkerboard has been part of my
life. We fed my first pony Purina® horse feed. I’m not sure which
type we used, but I remember the checkerboard on the label and the great smell
when we opened a new bag. My pony loved it of course, and I was very
proud to feed him grain made by such a famous company. Now, many years
later (more than I want to count) my horses are all fed Purina® products. From
my pony, “Siamese Kat,” at the barn down the road, to “Cedric” at the games in
Beijing and countless international competitions, Purina has been with me every
stride along the way.
My stable in
Wisconsin was a test barn for Strategy® horse feed over 20 years ago. I
found this to be an interesting process during which my sister and barn manager
Mary Elizabeth and I learned a great deal about equine nutrition. We were
happy to be part of the team who helped bring the Strategy® formula to market,
and now, many years later Purina® Strategy® horse feeds have provided over a
billion feedings to horses across the country. We also utilize other grains
such as Equine Senior® horse feed, Ultium® Competition Horse Formula, Omolene#100® and Omolene #400® horse feeds and the recent addition of Strategy®Healthy Edge® horse feed. Horses have different nutritional needs depending on
their age and level of work, but we have found that these products meet the
needs of everyone in the barn.
