\u201cIn my opinion, to call ourselves a responsible breed registry, we\u2019ve got to partner with a company dedicated to nutrition,\u201d APHA Executive Director Billy Smith said. \u201dIt\u2019s really hard to find a partner that\u2019s more dedicated to nutrition than Purina. Purina offers nutrition solutions for every type of APHA member\u2014from the top end horse owner all the way down to the backyard horse owner. And we appreciate that Purina is always willing to provide us with ways to educate horse owners.\u201d<\/p>\n
