MOSCOW, Idaho—Cargill, Incorporated’s Nutrena® Brand has announced its continued sponsorship of the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) to promote excellence in equine nutrition and performance. The recently announced agreement represents a significant commitment by Nutrena® Brand and the ApHC to increase awareness and understanding for the increasingly important role that nutrition plays in equine health and achievement.
Cargill will continue its sponsorship of the Nutrena® Iron Horse Competition and will present its coveted $10,000 Iron Horse Award to the winner at the Appaloosa World Horse Show in October 2010. The Nutrena® Iron Horse Competition is open to all qualified Appaloosas, with the winning award and trophy going to the horse that accumulates the most points in competition in either Non-Pro or Pro classes. The horse with the most points wins—and non-pros don’t have to compete against the pros to score and win. For competition details, contact the Appaloosa Horse Club at (208) 882-5578 or go to www.appaloosa.com.
In addition, Cargill will have its Nutrena® brand as an active participant and supporter of the National Appaloosa Horse Show and the Appaloosa World Horse Show. Online at www.Nutrenaworld.com and in person, the Nutrena® brand representatives will serve as a valued resource for ApHC members with the very latest information and innovations affecting equine care and nutrition.
“We’re pleased to continue our partnership with Nutrena® as the Official Feed of the Appaloosa Horse Club,” says ApHC CEO Steve Taylor. “After all, we share a proud tradition and a common heritage that dates back to the 1930’s when the first Appaloosa was registered—and the first bag of Nutrena® horse feed was filled. From the very beginning, we’ve both been devoted to achieving excellence in equine performance.”
Nutrena® is the flagship brand of Cargill Animal Nutrition. SafeChoice®, Vitality®, Life Design®, Empower®, XTN™ and Legacy® are among the premium horse feeds sold under the Nutrena® brand by more than 2,800 Nutrena® retailers nationwide.
The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established in 1938, with a mission of preserving, promoting and enhancing the Appaloosa breed. The ApHC has since registered more than 670,000 Appaloosas, which are known for their distinctive color, intelligence and even temperament. True to their reputation as an extremely versatile breed, Appaloosas can be found in nearly every discipline, including racing, endurance riding or serving as reliable family horses. The international breed registry is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho; the heart of the Palouse region, the Appaloosa breed’s namesake and point of origin.
