Volume 1, Number 1
Welcome to our first edition of the Checkerboard Corral
Electronic Newsletter!
In addition to our Checkerboard Corral Newspaper, I wanted to have the
opportunity to bring you event information, announcements, and articles that you
may need on a more timely basis. I believe this medium will provide that avenue.
I am very excited about this new arena of communication, and I hope you will
find it beneficial. We plan to begin the first edition with the five sections
listed in the menu above. You can click on any of these subjects, and you will
be immediately moved to that section of the newsletter.

Timely reminder: Contact your local veterinarian and make sure
you have your horse or horses on a routine worming schedule along with the
correct vaccinations to fit your program. Don’t forget to have your vet check
your horse’s teeth to make sure they are wearing normally.
For your performance horse that you are demanding a lot from, check out Purina’s
New Ultium feed. The results we are seeing in the field are tremendous. There is
nothing like it.
Also, if you are interested in seeing what the Purina Program can do for your
horse, take the Purina Challenge. E-mail us and we can get your Purina
representative in touch with you to match the right feeding program for your
horse or horses and take the challenge.
