I participate in local jackpots, BBR, Central 4D and others.<\/p>\n<p>My horse, Elvin, is now 24 and to me is in great condition. I feed him Senior Feed, crimped oats, red cell, Rocket Booster and some electrolytes. This is twice a day and he gets all the alfalfa hay he wants. He is the only horse I have. I have had him nearly 3 years.<br \/>\nI usually lounge him 3 times a week if I am not hauling him. He LOVES to run barrels and is quiet until time to run.<\/p>\n<p>What would you suggest in a feeding and exercise program that might be better?<\/p>\n<p>M. Scott, 64 years old and loving it!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>It sounds like you and Elvin are doing all the right things to stay healthy and successful. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe I would change anything about your program if it is working well. In fact, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure that some of these younger barrel racers and their younger horses could take a page from your book and increase their chances for success. A good diet \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and it sounds like Elvin has one \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as well as a regular exercise program are usually key factors in any successful program. Good luck with your barrel racing.<\/p>\n<p>Martha Wright <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My horse, Elvin, is now 24 and to me is in great condition.
