Senior horses and ponies often leave special stories and memories in the hearts of their owners. Purina is giving these senior horse owners the opportunity to share their stories with other horse enthusiasts across the nation as they announce the return of the Purina® Senior Horse Tales Contest online at http://www.activestill.com
“Each year Purina is fortunate to hear stories about senior horses and ponies from people across the country,” said Chris Goodwin, marketing manager, Land O’Lakes Purina Feed. “Heartfelt, funny or adventurous—these stories illustrate the strong bond between senior horses and their owners. These relationships have often been formed over a lifetime and we’re proud—through our love of feeding animals—to have been a part of these tales.”
Horse enthusiasts can enter their memorable, one-of-a-kind senior horse tale online at www.activestill.com. Entrants are encouraged to include a photo of their senior horse and mention how Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed has played a role in their story.
“Purina Horse Feed is proud of the investment in nutrition research we’ve made to help horses live longer, healthier lives through good nutrition,” said Goodwin. “We understand the connection our customers have with their horses. We’re looking forward to the stories we’ll receive in the contest this year and hope to hear touching stories like these for years to come.”
Equine lovers will have until April 18, 2012, to enter their senior horse tale. The three winners will win their choice of a ton of free Purina® Equine Senior® or Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed.
Purina recently introduced new Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed. Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed now joins the original Equine Senior® horse feed formula as one of two trusted nutritional choices for feeding aging horses.
While the original Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed remains the industry gold standard in senior horse health and nutrition, Purina is proud to announce the addition of new Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® horse feed to their family of feed products.
The new Equine Senior® Active Healthy Edge® feed is formulated for the aging horse that can still consume and digest forage and benefit from the calorically-dense formula to support their active lifestyle. The original Purina® Equine Senior® horse feed is formulated for horses with compromised dentition and/or digestion and has the proper levels of roughage and fiber built in to meet the needs of these horses.
