The way I feel about it, I do enough "beta testing" for Bill Gates. If
the latest equine feeding fad is still around after 5 years, then I
might try it.
I do remember the Athlete debacle. Horses that would drop to parameters
in a minute were hanging for 15 or 20 and some didn't come down at all.
Tell
me more about the Athlete... why do you think it affected them
adversly.
This was back in the days before (gasp) the Internet. Several friends
of mine thought it was the newest, greatest thing in the world and
jumped on the bandwagon with both feet. It caused problems from the
beginning but when the word was spread, we were told it was only a
problem in our region. later on of course the whole country had some
problems...Before anyone calls me and says their horses did fine, I
know there were exceptions as there always were. Same thing happened
when the everyday wormer came out. Most of us are guilty of thinking
the latest thing is just what we need to help our horses in some way or
another. The only reason I didn't get caught up in using Athlete was
the horse I was competing at the time couldn't handle any ...repeat any
suppliment...Hay grain elytes and water ..that was it. Now I just
always wait a year or two before I jump into using a new product of any
kind. hey I still don't do beet pulp...
