[RC] APF - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Kirsten Berntsen wildeye_arabians@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== In response to the requests from convention in Reno about APF: I received a large number of requests to post some infomration on my success with APF. I also just learned that Jamie Kerr is now endorsing APF. I have a very nervous mare that has an unusal muscle condition(PSM). She performs very well but at ride sometimes there just this adrenaline behavior where she just can't settle down. Her pulse will be 40, yet she will be shaking from anticipation. I put her on APF as a test, there are no downside affects to APF, so I read some material and decided to give it a go. I put her on APF three weeks before the Smokey Killen 3 day ride. She was pretty mellow at vet in, no significant changes until the PR's during the ride. Oh My, she has always pulsed okay but never a real low pulse during the ride, 48-56 range. She pulsed in all day at 44-40 and finally after 8 high vet scores, she finally got her Best Condition. I can not say how it has improved her recoveries, but it helped with the visible stress as I am sure it did with the internal stress. Even at twenty mule team we trotted in at 65 miles, stopped for 5 seconds and they were at 60. I am so please with this product. If anyone has any questions please contact me.
