MD Horse Expo, Feed samples, Arnica liniment

["Snodgrass, Bonnie" <snodgrab@ncr.disa.mil>]

     I spent some time at the Horse Expo in Timonium MD this last 
     weekend. I talked to several feed vendors. Bob Walsh had told me 
     about a feed being made by Pennfield that Jeannie  Waldron 
     collaborated on. I found the Pennfield booth and got a sample and 
     catalog with full info on all of their feeds. The Enduroevent 
     Ener-G #80607 has 10% min protein, 10% min fat, 15% max fiber, 
     calcium .80% min, phosphorus .40% min, zinc 104 ppm, selenium .54 
     ppm, Vit. E 64 mg/lb. Major ingredients are flaked corn and beet 
     pulp. Bob's been very happy with the weight gain of his hard 
     keeper on this food.
     
     I also talked with the Buckeye rep about two feeds, their Equine 
     Energy and Endurance-101. She recommended the extruded Equine 
     Energy for endurance horses. It is 12% min protein, and a 
     whopping 25% min fat. I've got their brochure too. 
     
     I bought an arnica liniment gel called Sore No-More from A Drop 
     in the Bucket. The gel is a little easier to control with your 
     hands but needs to be warmed first to not be globby. I've been 
     using it on my knee and it seems as effective as doses of 
     Ibuprofen in reducing inflamation. They also sell a liquid 
     liniment. Phone number (203) 863-1900. So N0-More is made by 
     Equilite, Inc of Ardsley, NY.
