Ocala, Florida (April 9, 2010) – SUCCEED hosted an equine digestive health seminar at The Sanctuary Equine Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation Center facility in Ocala this past week. Featured speakers included eight-time USEF Four-in-hand National Driving Champion, Chester Weber; International “A” rated Arabian Horse Trainer and Judge, John Rannenberg; and Pierre St. Jacques, Grand Prix dressage rider and trainer.
“The weather was beautiful, the venue was outstanding and the speakers did a superb job,” said Tom Grabe, managing partner at The Sanctuary. “The SUCCEED Digestive Conditioning Program was discussed at length by SUCCEED International Product Manager, Lyndsey White. Pierre discussed the value of preventing stress to the horses gut when they are competing and John spoke about his experiences with SUCCEED in his training program.”
Weber spoke about how he has been using SUCCEED for years, “I have seen a difference in my horses that include better composure and more slow burn energy. SUCCEED is extremely useful when my horses are shipping long distances or overseas.”

Tampa, FL – April 8, 2010 – Riders brought forth their finest efforts in the equitation classes at the Tampa Equestrian Festival’s Tournament of Champions held at the Bob Thomas Equestrian Center at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Earning the top accolade in the ASPCA Maclay Horsemanship class was Michael Murphy aboard Winnetou. Testing Robert McCune’s equitation course to first place in the Pessoa USEF Hunt Seat Medal was Shawn Casady riding Eastwood.
These outstanding riders exchanged placings in the equitation classes when Murphy won the ASPCA Maclay Horsemanship, while Casady rode into second place. Then, Casady earned the blue ribbon in the Pessoa USEF Hunt Seat Medal class and Murphy took home the second place prize.
Murphy has been riding Winnetou for approximately two weeks, since his prior equitation horse had sold. Elizabeth Patz, who also shows at Murphy family’s facility, owns Winnetou. “I am still figuring this horse out a little bit,” remarked Murphy. “He sometimes gets a little bunched up and compressed so I try to allow him to be soft. He is definitely learning to open up and not stay so tight.”

April 9, 2010 – CHICAGO (EWA) – The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC) recently released hidden camera footage from an investigation that took place at the two largest horse slaughter plants in Canada, Bouvry Exports and Viande Richelieu.
So horrific are the conditions depicted at both plants that they have prompted Bill desBarres, Chairman of the Horse Welfare Alliance of Canada (HWAC) and a long time proponent of horse slaughter, to declare he believes the footage was fabricated by groups opposed to “any animal agriculture”.
Bill desBarres and his organization have repeatedly praised the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) and its inspectors for their diligence in assuring that horses are treated humanely at the slaughter plants and his organization lists the CFIA as a “resource partner” on their web site. The Horse Welfare Alliance appears to be nothing more than a front for the horse slaughter industry.
