You can count on FarmVet to bring you the latest top developments in equine health care. Here are a few new products we think you should take a look at!
Lactalex is the first equine performance formula to combine ingredients for optimal muscle function and comfort enhancement. During competition, equine athletes are required to perform at their best, often for lengthy periods of time. Issues such as tying up, back soreness, and other painful responses can greatly hinder an important performance. Muscle recovery time is key to the horse returning to competition in top competitive form. Lactalex supports recovery processes for intense competition.
This successful liniment base is mixed with a creamy Tamanu Butter & Aloe Vera blend to give you a soothing cooling Arnica cream. The applications are endless. The mix makes for an excellent Leg Grease prior to competition. Apply to areas of edema, swelling, heat, inflammation or friction burns and scrapes. Helps hydrate skin and hooves and encourages hair growth.
Vitaflor 365 optimises the intestinal flora, thus allowing the maximum yield from the feed to be obtained. Numerous factors disturb the intestinal balance such as stress, specific medications, concentrated feed etc. Domesticated horses receive a diet composed largely of gain, which has a high starch content. Often, the small intestine cannot completely process the digestion of starch, causing a part to be pushed into the colon. There, the starch is converted to lactate. This leads to acidification of the colon, inhibiting the proper functioning of the micro organisms which results in bad digestion of roughage, reduced absorption of nutrients, lowered digestion of proteins, etc. This leads to lowered resistance, reduced fitness and/or a colic susceptibility.

Ottawa, Ontario — Jump Canada has named Mac Cone the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for September.
Cone of King City, ON, scored back-to-back victories in September with his Olympic partner Ole, a 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Sara Houstoun and Larry Evoy. The pair won the $50,000 Hagyard Medical Institute World Cup Grand Prix on Friday, September 18, at the CSI-W Kentucky National held in Lexington, KY.
Cone and Ole bested 48 entries to win the class by posting a double clear effort in a time of 36.21 seconds, edging out U.S. Olympian Marie Engle and Hidden Creek’s Campella.
Exactly one week later, Cone and Ole won the $25,000 Open Welcome at the CSI2*-W Canadian Show Jumping Tournament at the Caledon Equestrian Park in Palgrave, ON. Cone and Ole were the only combination to produce a double clear performance from a field of 32 starters.
“In August, Ole started to come back to his former self,” said Cone of Ole, who is returning to grand prix competition following a tendon injury sustained at the 2008 Olympic Games. “September was topped off by Ole’s big wins in the World Cup Qualifier in Kentucky and in the Open Welcome in Palgrave. I feel that he is in better shape now than he was during our 2008 season.”
“My thanks go out to Cavalor for sponsoring the ‘Athlete of the Month’ program,” added Cone.
As the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for September, Cone receives a gift certificate from title sponsor CAVALOR Inc.

FarmVet would like to offer our condolences to the family of Carlos Banuelos. Carlos was both a beloved and talented member for the cutting horse industry who died at the young age of 34 the evening of August 24 on his ranch in Jacksboro, TX.
Carlos was the second youngest of 14 children and rose to great success in a true ‘rags to riches’ story. He worked on his family’s cattle ranch as a boy and hoped to one day come to the United States to pursue his dream of training horses. At the age of 13 that dream finally began to come true when he went to Texas to learn the trade from his older brothers. Carlos started training and competing in 1994 and soon after began running his own ranch outside Jacksboro, TX.
Carlos will be remembered as a talented competitor and a loving friend and family member.
Every equestrian knows that healthy hooves are the foundation of a competitive equine athlete. Don’t let your horse be unnecessarily sidelined by poor hoof quality. Ensure your horse stays at the top of his game by starting at the bottom and giving him CAVALOR Hoof Aid to maintain high quality hooves.
Thanks to its unique composition, Hoof Aid offers remarkably fast and lasting results. In addition to high-grade biotin and other important nutrients, Hoof Aid offers essential amino acids which are necessary for the uptake and transportation of the active ingredients. Without these many of the ingredients would not arrive in the hoof region, which is not well endowed with blood vessels.
CAVALOR has dedicated countless effort and resources to innovation through pure research, applied research, and field testing. This process has allowed CAVALOR to gather an incomparable wealth of knowledge that is embedded in products that simply work well.
To purchase or learn more about CAVALOR Hoof Aid please contact FarmVet at (888) 837-3626 or visit our CAVALOR Store online at www.FarmVet.com.
