The way I feel about it, I do enough "beta testing" for Bill
Gates. If the latest equine feeding fad is still around after 5 years, then I
might try it.
I do remember the Athlete debacle. Horses that would
drop to parameters in a minute were hanging for 15 or 20 and some didn't come
down at all.
Tell me more about the Athlete... why do you think it
affected them adversly.
This was back in the days before (gasp) the
Internet. Several friends of mine thought it was the newest, greatest
thing in the world and jumped on the bandwagon with both feet. It
caused problems from the beginning but when the word was spread, we were
told it was only a problem in our region. later on of course the whole
country had some problems...Before anyone calls me and says their horses did
fine, I know there were exceptions as there always were. Same thing
happened when the everyday wormer came out. Most of us are guilty of
thinking the latest thing is just what we need to help our horses in some
way or another. The only reason I didn't get caught up in using
Athlete was the horse I was competing at the time couldn't handle any
...repeat any suppliment...Hay grain elytes and water ..that was it.
Now I just always wait a year or two before I jump into using a new product
of any kind. hey I still don't do beet
pulp...
