Message from: Cada McCoy: Just wanted to extend a rather last-minute invitation to those in the Charleston, SC, area or anyone planning to visit the area this weekend (or might be looking for a good excuse for a mini-vacation to a beautiful part of the country! .

I am co-hosting a free equine nutritional seminar on Saturday, November 12, featuring Stance Equine founder and nutritional biochemist, Dr. Tim Kempton. Dr. Kempton was responsible for introducing copra (coconut meal) to the Australia’s livestock world some 20 years ago. Copra’s nutritional benefits proved so remarkable, it was adopted by horse owners there and in Europe who were looking for naturally clean, low NSC equine feed. It is now available in the US, first introduced a few years ago on the West Coast and, most recently, on the East Coast.

However, the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response necessitated that we move our gathering to a larger facility, so now we have space for even more attendees.

Do you know the importance of proper nutrition for your horse’s health and performance?

I recently read about a top trainer that was quoted as saying, “the number one thing that my clients skimp on is top quality feed and nutrients for their horses”. He went on to say that within 30 to 60 days on his special diet the horse’s looks and attitude are vastly improved. So much so, that many of his clients when they visit their horse are amazed and ask what secret show grooming products does he use.

“They have a hard time understanding that it was just the difference in the quality of nutrition the horse received.”

So isn’t time for you to learn more about horse nutrition? Join me on Wednesday, August 1st, at 5 pm Pacific as EquineTeleseminar.net is hosting a special call with Dr. Eve Finkelstein, Bsc Bs MS Phd.
