Check her out on Very Handy
Remedy from this past October
Karnell Perry is a National Reined Cow Horse competitor out
of Great Falls, Montana. She has a no frills approach to her
horse’s nutrition.
“Good hay, and I mean very good hay and a decent vitamin/trace mineral supplement
will do for just about all horses… some younger and older horses, or use-case situations
will dictate a little different approach to horse health, but mostly you can get great results
from good hay and a vitamin/trace mineral supplement. If I have a younger horse that
I am having difficulty keeping weight on, I’ll will supplement with rice bran for the extra
calories needed to keep them competitive and their body condition adequate while going
through growth spurts. With some of my older horses that are lacking energy in the show
pen, I will supplement with pellets to give them the extra energy they need to show to
their full potential.”
She conditions horses and competes during show season with a month to six weeks off
after October, during which time Karnell feeds grass hay. As for wormer, Karnell goes with
Safe Guard and Zimecterin Gold. Good luck this year Karnell!!
