Brrrrrrrr…. it got cold almost overnight here in Missouri, which appears to be the general consensus in most of the midwest. Fall stayed around for a week or two, but Old Man Winter has decided to move in earlier than normal, prompting my horses to fluff up like a woolly mammoth. While I am choosing to let my event horse grow out for a bit before we head off to Florida later in the season, it was time to give my jumper her first clip of the season. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like the feeling of horse hair everywhere to kick off the winter circuit. We teamed up with Kentucky Performance Products to bring you some shots of your fellow equestrians also suffering through clipping season alongside you in this week’s Instagram roundup.

Fight back against vitamin E deficiencies that can cause muscle soreness and stiffness.
Elevate® Maintenance Powder was developed to provide a highly bioavailable source of natural vitamin E to horses. Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, limits the damage caused by everyday oxidative stress. It maintains healthy muscle and nerve functions so horses are more likely to perform better and recover faster after training or competing.
Vitamin E requirements vary from situation to situation. Multiple research studies have shown that vitamin E is often deficient in the diets of horses that do not have access to continual grazing on fresh green grass, or those grazing on winter pasture. Performance horses with demanding workloads, growing horses and seniors can be exposed to increased levels of oxidative stress and therefore require higher levels of vitamin E in their diets. Studies reveal that horses challenged by neurological disease benefit from natural vitamin E supplementation.
