Our Recommendation is CocoSoya.

“A blend of highly digestible Coconut and Soybean Oils selected for Natural Fatty Acid balance. It is a natural source of Omega 3 Omega 6 & Omega 9 fatty acids. Cocosoya retains Natural Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Sterols present in Crude Unrefined Oil (No chemical solvents). Cocosoya is an unrefined source of soybean & coconut oils. The thick substance (gums) that sometimes settles to the bottom of the container is the Natural Lecithins (phospholipids) and Tocopherols (Vitamin E) of the soy bean oil. It is a highly nutritious portion of the product. Keep your oil well shaken allowing the lecithin & tocopherols to stay in suspension. Cocosoya is 20% more digestible than ordinary corn and vegetable oil and it costs less than vegetable oil at your local store.

CocoSoya

• An affordable replacement for (refined) ordinary corn & vegetable oil

Fatty Acids Formulas

Natural, unrefined essential fatty acids are crucial for health and cannot be manufactured by the body. Research shows that Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may support the metabolism in a number of ways, including blood sugar balance and stress recovery. This is an excellent supplement choice that supplies stable, balanced, long-term energy and supports hair and hoof health.

Why feed fat to horses?

·Calories from fat are 2.5 times greater than that of protein and carbohydrates.

·Fat fed to horses in the morning is slowly metabolized and is utilized by the horse throughout the day.

·Important for immune health & joint support.

Well on to the subject that I am supposed to be addressing.

This month our trusty friend drew out of a hat – The Hoof Pad.   You know that it is ironic that Chris drew out the hoof pad because Troy’s Tip of the Month with On The Rodeo Road was about the horse’s feet and how they are the foundation of the horse.   As Troy said, “No Feet No Horse”.

Now I must admit that this might be Troy’s favorite piece of equipment.   Much like the blanket that all of you have seen troy use during your horse’s session, the hoof pad is Pulsed Magnet Field Therapy Equipment.   Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy is a safe, painless and drug-free treatment method.   Technically, Pulsed magnetic fields help increase cellular metabolism by positively influencing ion exchange within cells.   Now let me simplify that for you.   Pulsating Magnetic Field Therapy speeds the healing process.   It stimulates tissue, increases blood flow, and reduces swelling.   There are a quite a few of you that have had your horse stand on our hoof pad.   But as a hole, the usefulness and need for this piece of equipment in our work is quite understated.

Paint at Rescue in Texas >< Now Doesn't he look quite Content?

This little gem really addresses issues that our ponies have with their feet .  The magnetic field penetrates from 12 to 15 inches, not only treating the hooves, but also treating to just below the knee or hock. The Hoof Pad is perfect for treating the hoof, one of the hardest areas of a horse to treat.   Other indications the Hoof Pad may work on include: abscess, concussion problems, bruised feet, swelling, navicular, fractures, laminitis as well as many others. The hoof pad is meant to be used in conjunction with Either the 4PH or the 9PH. This  hoof pad is available for sale or rental.    If you have any other questions about the hoof pad you can contact me direct at our Email BrandenburgEquine@gmail.com,  my phone 618-660-7266 (Tiffany), or our website  www.BrandenburgEquineTherapy.com.

Whew!  I can not believe that it is already April.   The year is already flying by.   It seems like just yesterday I was writing on this blog.    But, ugh, yesterday was last November.     Really!  It does not seem that long ago.

Airlee Beach, Australia

So to catch one up with what Troy & I have been up to.   As most of you know, Troy and I went home to Australia for the holidays.   What an amazing Experience.   This was my first trip to Australia & I finally got to meet all of my family.    Troy had not been home for 6 years.   It was a really a deserved Holiday after 11 months with out even a break.

We made a tour of Queensland while visiting family and friends.   And yes, I got to see Kangaroos, Koala’s, Kookaburra’s, Lorakeets, The Great Barrier Reef, and the list goes on.    The country is gorgeous.

You really can not put it into words.

But before we left for our holiday, we first flew into Las Vegas for a couple of days so we could stop by the NFR.   And we had our booth at cowboy Christmas again this year with Centurion.     Wow!  The NFR was just spectacular this year.   I really think that the barrel racing hit another level.   We saw girl after girl running right at the edge of the arena record until it was finally beaten.   Congratulations on setting the new arena record Sheri Cervi.   And no,  I did not get to see that run in person.   Sheri set the new arena record while Troy and I were in LA waiting for our flight to Brisbane, Australia.

Troy & the Street Entertainment

And of course, no Vegas Trip is complete with out a tour of the Strip.   Troy and I met up with a couple of friends and walked the strip making a tour of the many sites and venues.   What a fun night that went long into the AM.   Boy our feet were tired and I was happy to see my bed that evening.   Only in Vegas Baby!  And I think I will leave that story there.

Well…. the new year brought the death of our van.   Did you hear the tears in that statement.    But even though it was sad to see it go – NOT, we are so very excited about our new Volkswagen Routan.   We love it!   And I am sure that most of you have already seen it because in 8 weeks we have put right at 14,000 miles on it.    No! That is not a typo.   We have honestly put that unbelievable amount of miles on the car.   So needless to say, we have been very busy trying to see all of you and to get you ready for the 2011 season.

This year we have been doing Troy’s tip of the month for the Ezine – On the Rodeo Road.  That has really been fun and I hope that all of you have been finding it informative.

We are adding several new products to our website.  You will just have to check out the website to see!   I don’t want to spoil all of the surprises.

Our website is approaching 2 years!   Yeah!    But we want to stay fresh and enticing so we will be doing a redesign.   A lot of the same material but we want to make sure you can find what you are looking for – move things about and implement a cleaner interface.    We want to make it more user friendly.   For the last several months we have been doing a Product of the month just so you stay informed of what we have for you.   Along with this…. I am going to start blogging about that product of the month.   I want to continue with our goal of educating the customer.   I am sure that we have products that you have not even thought of or if you have seen them you don’t  really know how to use them, would just like more information about, or you just get confused with all the choices we now have.   So, I am going to try to simplify this for you one product at a time.

I guess that gets us a little caught up in a few words.   I am sure I could continue on but I would just bore you.   Thank-you for everything that all of you do for us.

The Legendary California Hackamore & Stock Horse by Bobby Ingersoll

This particular man was so impressed with Troy the first day, that he asked Troy to come to his barn and to help him with one particular horse that he knew something was not quite right  but that he could not quite put his finger on.  Now I must tell you that the man was world renowned horse trainer, competitor, and NRCHA Hall of fame inductee Bobby Ingersoll.  Troy was on Cloud 9 that some one of so much talent and knowledge would come to him for assistance.   Not only did Troy get to spend his 2nd day in Reno with this legend talking and philosophizing about the horse,  he was able to give Bobby a new perspective about his horses.   Bobby was  so impressed with Troy’s ability, knowledge, & handling of the horses that before Troy left,  Bobby went in the house and got his personal book and autographed it for him.   It was really an electrifying moment.

To Troy.......

Dodge City Rodeo 2010 ><>< Troy and The Miss Rodeo Contestants

It was a tough job, but some one had to do it.   Troy with the Rodeo Queen Contestants for the Doge City Rodeo, 2010.   Troy complained of  a headache and the girls said that they had a blast.   In the end, I think everyone had a great time.  Congratulations Girls!

Rocky Mountain Super Race

Troy really enjoyed his time at the last Rocky Mountain Super Race this past spring.   So much, That he has decided to attend the fall show.  We hope to see everyone again and to meet a few new people as well.   Looking forward to this labor day weekend.
