Purina Connects Questions with Expertise Through Horse Owners Workshops

WHO:

Every horse owner has questions, which is why Purina is bringing expertise from its 1,200 acre nutrition research farm, the Purina Animal Nutrition Center, to their communities by partnering with local independent dealers to host in-person Horse Owners Workshops (HOW®).

WHAT:

At a local HOW® event, horse owners can

• See live demonstrations by equine experts on topics like nutrition, veterinary care, management care, training and more.
• Enter to win prizes, including a year’s supply of Purina® horse feed, an all-expense paid trip to the Purina Animal Nutrition Center and more*.
• Receive a frequent buyer punch card toward a free bag of any premium Purina® feed. And if attendees bring a friend, they can receive an extra punch.
• Talk with experts for advice on topics relevant to caring for their horses. Get answers to specific questions by using #HOWanswers on Twitter and following Purina on Facebook.
• Speak with their local independent Purina® dealer about IMPACT® horse feeds, introduced this year. Developed by Purina® Ph.D. equine nutritionists, these feeds are backed by more than 85 years of research and provide premium, affordable nutrition.

WHEN:

February through April 2014.

WHERE:

Horse owners can find a free event near them by visiting purinamills.com/horse-feed/how/.

WHY:

One Purina® dealer that frequently hosts events partners with Purina Ph.D. equine nutritionists and a prestigious local veterinary clinic to bring cutting-edge research to its customers. “Horse owners sometimes develop habits and routines that cause them to forget some of the things they learned years ago,” says Curtis Spencer, owner and president, Spencer’s Feed & Seed, Folsom, La. “Horse Owners Workshops can help refresh their memories and break through the routines they’ve developed to bring them back to the basics.”
