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...
