Join us at the e3- Maintaining Your Performance Horse event presented by Bowman’s Feed and Pet and Purina!

There are a few reasons why Purina Horse Feed is my go-to feed:

 Purina uses only the best ingredients to create their feeds, making sure that the horses get the nutrition that they need to perform their best

 Purina has feed specifically tailored to the horses’ needs- from mares and foals to performance horses. It’s like having a personal chef for your horse!

 The proof is in the research! Purina has been feeding champions with scientifically backed feeds for decades.

I would highly recommend checking Purina out for yourself! Bowmen’s has always been our supplier, and they do a wonderful job of helping us assess our horses’ needs!

Team ABBF had a super weekend out at the Area II championships at The Maryland Horse Trials this weekend! We are so lucky to have such a fabulous venue with so many wonderful volunteers to pull off this huge event! Congrats to all on a job well done!
