Focus on Nutrition |

_____
Thoroughbred
owners
invest both time and money in order to buy and breed winning race
horses. But where the young horses grow up, the manner and amount
that they are fed and the quality of care that they receive may be even
more important than pedigree.
_____
 |
|
Scientists at the University of
Edinburgh report that the correlation
between careful breeding and winning on the race track is no more than
ten percent. They studied the performance of 4,500 thoroughbred
foals born between 1922 and 2003 and came to the conclusion: nurture is
more important than nature. |
One of the most most
important variables in predicting the success of a horse, not
surprisingly, is the quality and quantity of the food in a horse's diet.
No horse, no matter how well bred, can reach its genetic potential
without a nurturing environment combined with excellent
nutrition. A horse requires lots of clean water, fresh alfalfa,
generous quantities of scientifically fortified grains, and cultivated
Bermuda grass on which to graze.
You’ve
invested care and money to breed or purchase the best
foals possible. Now give them, and you, the best chance to make the
dream of winning a reality. |

Cole
Textured Horse Ration |

The Cole Ranch feeds a
daily minimum of six pounds of
fortified grain designed especially for our farm. As horses grow,
we increase the
amounts in stages. Our grain supplements are combined with free
fed alfalfa and
cultivated Bermuda grass. We have found that this program
promotes growth and strength development. Below is a list of the
