My horse Frankie J. is the 2009 California State Champion Pole Bending Horse. He and I will be traveling to New Mexico to compete at Nationals next week. He is a 10 year old AQHA Red Dun gelding. He and I both love the Platinum Performance Bars! I think the Original Bars are the best!

My horse Cricket is a Thoroughbred/Holsteiner who has the hugest play drive- it’s like perpetual fireworks are going off in his brain! We have had a long journey his eight years already…from Hunter Jumper Shows to trail riding he is so much fun. Platinum Performance keeps him healthy year round and is even helping repair a torn ligament with your new silicon product, Osteon.

Sir Songi D’Oro (Smokey Joe) is a 9 year old Thoroughbred Gelding who has been very successful in making a winning mark on the Zone 7 USEF and Greater Oklahoma Jumper Divisions. Until adding Platinum performance to our daily routine, Smokey Joe had problems maintaining a healthy weight. (a race horse at heart) Now, his muscles are well developed and he has a beautiful shiny bay coat. He is a very kind hearted and loves to navigate the jumper courses with ease. Thank you Platinum Performance Equine.

My stallion Investment Terms was injured 2 years ago and was not able to eat for 3 months. We syringe fed him the Platinum Enteral formula for 2 and a half months until his mouth injury was healed enough for him to start drinking it for another month. Then he progressed to a mash feed with your Platinum. Initially he dropped down to 700 lbs with his injury but has had a complete recovery. He is alive today as a result of your product and our love. Everyone else thought he should be put down, but he continued to work with us and fight for his life. We took pictures every week to document his progression. For awhile he looked like a rescue horse since he was not able to get enough calories and we were not able to tube him. However, he gradually regained his weight and has since sired many beautiful new babies. Thank you for your products they are wonderful. Our other stallion has been on your product as well and just placed 8th in the World for Performance Stallions. We use your product with all our show horses and they love it!

Monty is a nine year old Trakehner gelding. He was a lesson horse in Colorado, a jumper for 3 months in Ocala, FL, and I bought him and turned him into a wonderful dressage horse. He was headstrong when I got him and very braced and stiff. He has been on Platinum Performance for over a year and he is one beautiful big stud – gorgeous coat, perfect feet, solid muscles, plenty of endurance, and best of all a great disposition! Thanks, PP.

Any Wonder is a 5 year old Hanoverian. I imported him as a weedy 3 year old from Germany. Since importation, he was fed Platinum Performance. At his first series of AA rated shows, he was Pre-green Circuit Champion. He won the majority of the classes including several hacks. Thank you!

SRF UNIQUE WIND (WINDY) is a granddaughter of Desperado V. She is a black bay. Very smart. Windy knows many natural horsemanship feats. She rears on command, bows on when asked, picks of the ball and throws it and so much more. But more than that she is a special friend who loves to be with people. Windy is my second Arabian. She picked me after Dream passed away. I love her. My Nephew helped design your facility. He knows little about horses and he told me that you are wonderful, caring people who wanted the cleanest, most up to date facility to produce your feed and supplements. He was so impressed and surprised that I knew who you were because I had been to Santa Ynez with the Arabian Horse Tour. Thank you for caring about our horses welfare.

Duz is an AQHA 15 year old gelding. Shown competing in the Barrel & Stake race at the 2009 National O-Mok-See held in Gillette, Wyoming in July. Placed 1st in this event in the Senior Women age group and 2nd Overall. Duz has been on Platinium Performance for many years and it is truly a supplement I believe in.

Tori (Sweet Victory’s Mine) is a 16-year-old gray Andalusian/Arabian mare I’ve owned for over 13 years. I put her on Platinum Performance Equine to ensure she receives all the vitamins and minerals she needs and may not be getting in the hay and grain fed at the boarding stable. When I finish riding and grooming her, I turn her loose to go back to her stall. When I open the door for her, she backs in and then makes a beeline for the “vitamins” in her feeder. She surely does love those “vitamins”! She also loves fetching her frisbee, as seen in the picture I’ve included. Does Platinum Performance make your horse smarter? I don’t know for sure, but a healthy horse can surely think better than an unhealthy one, and I depend on Platinum Performance to help keep my horse healthy. When somebody else is feeding your horse, it’s really nice to have a way to ensure your beloved pet is getting the best nutrition!

My horse is a 15yo Hanoverian gelding named Dashers Destiny. I am a ParaEquestrian rider and competitor; therefore, Dasher has a very special job in life – to work with me and my disability (Traumatic Brain Injury). We compete at dressage competitions throughout the USA and Canada. Most recently at the ParaEquestrian 2009 National Championships, he and I placed 1st in the nation at my grade level and 6th in the nation at all grade levels for ParaEquestrian riders. The picture was taken at the VADA/NOVA Musical Freestyle Championship in 2008. Dasher is a wonderful guy and together we are a great Platinum Performance team.
