What Are The Results of Optimal Care? |
| A
horse who is in good health (no underlying disease), |
| ...
who is given a good caretaking program (e.g. effective parasite control) |
| ...
and a complete nutritional program (with no limiting micronutrient deficiencies), shows that... |
| WEIGHT
and DISTRIBUTION: Good weight is maintained even under the stresses of
competition, shipping and breeding. You have no "hard keepers" or "hay
bellies". COAT: Hair texture is soft and glistens with intense color and sheen. Winter coats shine to the skin and shed out quickly. Skin elasticity and texture are good. DISPOSITION: Attitudes are cooperative and positive, -- ready and able to work with you. Appetites are good. You will observe a minimum of stable vices. HOOF CONDITION: Hoof growth is rapid with resilient texture.
BREEDING: Conception rates are high, foals reach maturity, and good condition is maintained year round by stallions and broodmares despite breeding stress. PERFORMANCE: Given the right training, whether for competition, show, or pleasure, you will have a horse that can reach his full potential. Let SOURCE help your horse be all that he can be! |

FEED UTILIZATION: A horse with underlying
health, caretaking, or nutritional problems may not be able to fully extract the
nourishment provided in his feeding program. When these underlying problems are corrected,
and he can utilize his feeds, he actually needs less than before. So one of the most
significant benefits of optimal care is reduced year end feed bill!
