TRIPLE CROWN® LITE. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.
Triple Crown Lite Others
Triple Crown Lite is the original dietary breakthrough for “easy keepers,” horses that maintain
their weight on very little grain or just pasture and hay, thus shortchanging themselves on
essential vitamins and minerals. Triple Crown Lite is so heavily fortified, you can feed as few as
two pounds a day (4 cups). Its high-fiber and low-calorie formula also makes Triple Crown Lite
perfect for ponies and minis. This low-soluble-carbohydrate diet is also beneficial for horses with
metabolic issues. For more information, visit www.triplecrownfeed.com or call 800-451-9916. 10 .

June, 2014 • Mid-South Horse Review www.midsouthhorsereview. com woodstock Cuba saddle Club held their first annual Hor - sapalooza horse fair on may 4, 2013 at the sad - dle club arena near millington, tennessee. this was a fun(d) raiser for woodstock Cuba’s youth horse ac - tivities. it was also a way to introduce the saddle club to “unhorsed” people in the community, i.e., people who have an interest in horses, but may not know anything about them and not know where to find out. there were several vendor booths at Horsapalooza with items that horse owners need, but also vendors with non- horsey items, such as clothing, arts and crafts, jewelry, and skin care products. many attendees found a nice mother’s day gift. there were pony rides for the children, as well as live musical entertainment. Brent Pugh, dvm conducted a question and answer ses - sion on horse health care and farrier daniel Bishop gave a demonstration on horse hoof care. the riding demonstrations were multi-discipline. Youth rider members of woodstock Cuba presented the colors in a horseback quadrille. dana shah Bishop rode her friesian stallion, onassis, wearing their Phantom of the opera Cos - tumes, and demonstrated dressage movements. the barrel racing demonstration started with lead line age riders, showing them the pattern, and moved up through each level of the sport to the fastest young riders. Josh Bishop showed the audience his roping techniques. dylan Bomar showed gaited horses. Jordan oldham, with help from her family and friends, hauled in jumps to demonstrate her sport of three day eventing. more information about Horsapalooza on facebook.
