WHAT DOES “ P R O D U C T O F T H E Y E A R ” MEAN WHEN IT COMES TO HORSE FEED? BETTER BALANCED NUTRITION, FOR STARTERS.

Because all Triple Crown feeds guarantee vitamins, organic minerals, yeast cultures, amino acids, probiotics and technology to help horses fight challenges from pathogenic bacteria and mycotoxins. No wonder that the Horse Journal picked our Triple Crown 30% Supplement as “Product of the Year” for pasture supplementation. For improved nutrition for any horse, choose the best.

(above & right) Visitors can tour the Kentucky Horse Park in a trolley pulled by two of the Park’s beautiful draft horses. This leisurely and informative 10-12 minute narrated horse-drawn trolley ride gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the Kentucky Horse Park's history while listening to the rhythmic "clip-clop" of hooves. Visitors can also watch the horses being groomed and harnessed to prepare for the day's work, and after the tour, can visit the "gentle giants" at their stalls in the his - toric Big Barn. There are other driving events held at the Park throughout the year. The American Carriage Association hosted a Carriage Festival Weekend and Carriage Festi - val Pleasure-driving Show at the Kentucky Horse Park on June 28–30. In May (3-5) the Park hosted a Carriage Driving Event, one of several gatherings devoted to recreational equine driving. Highlighting the event was a series of clinics, demonstrations, and driving instruction featuring some of the nation’s most prominent cli - nicians and driving experts. The weekend culminated with a practice show on Sunday. Such events allow horse owners to bring their own horses and carriages for a drive around the beautiful Park grounds.
