Wednesday Video from Kentucky Performance Products: Groundwork With Gottum

Elisa Wallace is a Thoroughbred Makeover veteran and has long been a champion of OTTBs, inspiring us with their journeys from track to start box. She’s won the eventing division at the Makeover multiple times, and in 2018 added the competition’s top honor to her list of accomplishments when fas voted the horse “America’s Most Wanted Thoroughbred” in the Finale.

She may be jumping skinnies bareback and bridleless at the Makeover come fall, but every OTTB she has found success with had to start somewhere. In this video, we get an early glimpse at her 2019 Makeover hopeful Gottum. The 2013 Florida-bred Thoroughbred gelding (Factum – Marhaba, by Turkoman) won $5,135 in 17 starts on the track — we can’t wait to watch him progress in his new career! Here, she talks us through a groundwork session with the horse.

Equi-Jewel® rice bran

Fight back against an energy crisis that can impact condition and performance.

Equi-Jewel® is a high-fat, low-starch and -sugar formula developed to safely meet the energy needs of your horse.

Whether you have a hard keeper that needs extra calories to maintain his weight, or a top performance horse that needs cool energy to perform at her peak, Equi-Jewel can meet your horse’s needs. Equi-Jewel reduces the risk of digestive upset, supports optimal muscle function, maintains stamina, and helps horses recover faster after hard work, all while providing the calories your horse needs to thrive. The fat found in rice bran is an extraordinary source of dietary energy. In fact, fat contains more than two times the energy that carbohydrates and proteins do, thereby fueling horses more efficiently.

Fat is considered a “cool” feedstuff because it does not cause the hormone spikes that lead to excitability. Adding Equi-Jewel rice bran to your horse’s diet allows you to decrease the amount of starchy concentrates (grains) you feed, reducing the risk of colic and laminitis resulting from grain overload. Equi-Jewel is an excellent source of calories for horses on low-sugar and low-starch diets.

The horse that matters to you matters to us®.
