Re: RC: RE: ProBiotics for Trailering (was blankets for trailering)

Hello Marlene,
    I have tested the new product from VF - Trailer Express.
    It does appear to be working as they advertise.
    I will test it more next year.  Or next week if it is hot when we
    go to River Run.
    
    But then I have always given an elyte and probi before I trailer
    if the trip is over 3 hours  and it is to a ride .

    I felt he drank better in the trailer and after we arrived at the
    site (Biltmore50) 4.5 hr trip.

    If the horse was pro-colic I sure would look into a live probotic
    and or possible one of the ulcer supplements to aide with
    reduction of acid while travelling.
    I use Neigh-Lox from KER but there are many on the market .. all
    do the same thing.
