biotic, that impacts intake, feed digestibility and nutrient absorption to help combat stress and support the animal’s own immune system. It also contains MOS to trap and expel patho- gens, limiting their ability to do harm.


Hauling Over the Road “I started using the Vitalize Recovery


Paste but was mostly using it at that time for my Grand Prix horses, to help keep their energy up. One of the next times I really tried it, I had two horses shipping

tor-trailer, McAllister likes to make sure that horses are loaded next to other horses they are used to and get along with. She said if the circumstances are right, they have the correct number of drivers and a good plan in place, she

prefers to drive straight-through, since a layover re-


quires extra stress for


the horses of unloading, reloading and familiarizing themselves with a place for a very short period of time. “If we have the right drivers


and right set up, we schedule the right stops for gas and water and let the horses stand and rest. Bigger stops we’re down for two hours, and they have time


to rest. Even on longer trips, I will stop long enough to give them a small amount of feed. We stop, have breakfast and rest, and they have a small breakfast and rest,” she said. In addition to using the Vitalize Recovery


Paste and driving through, the seasoned com- petitor and Vitalize Ambassador uses a few other products to keep her horses feeling their best on the long hauls. McAllister uses a prod- uct to help keep the electrolyte levels balanced in her horses while traveling and a natural pheromone to keep her horses calm. Finally, she encourages to always keep an


emergency kit of supplies in the truck or trailer with you, “just in case.” McAllister keeps the


Recovery Paste, Acepromazine and Banamine on hand.


Home Sweet Stable Once you reach your destination, regard-


less if it is your home barn or the next show, McAllister recommends getting everything set up in the stalls for your horses before unload- ing. She said if it isn’t their home barn, to make it as much like home as possible – if they have water buckets in the corner at home, put their water buckets in the corner here. If they have hay nets at home, hang the hay nets here. “Horses are funny. I think they acclimate


faster than we do. They are like ‘yeah, we’re off the truck.’ They want to make sure the whole herd is there. When they are home, they know. They usually drag you from the truck to the stalls. They are really cute that way. They want to drink, roll, and have hay,” McAllister said.


Keeping your equine partner fresh,


healthy and ready to compete takes some preparation, but with some advanced planning and the Amaferm advantage found in the Vital- ize Recovery Paste, your horse will be ready to compete after its next long haul. To learn more about Vitalize, visit www.vitalizeeq.com. w
