Page 18 April 2022 EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN By Dr. Dan Moore Dr. Dan here, and did you know that salt and mineral quality varies greatly? Unlike most, RED- CAL from TheNaturalHorseVet. com is not bleached, kiln dried, heated, or altered with chemicals or pollutants. In fact, it’s bal- anced by nature, not by man and contains a full complement of ben- eficial trace minerals. RED-CAL comes to you in its natural form with only our special proprietary blend of herbs and calcium added. The result is a free-choice product that since 1998 has provided horses (and other species) the very best that nature has to offer. “The natural unprocessed and pristine sea salts are superior as they contain calcium and small amounts of other macro miner- als and all essential trace ele- ments in naturally balanced and readily available forms.” (T.W. Swerezek, DVM Ph.D., Universi- ty of Kentucky) Bar-Bar-A has been provid- ing non-electric automatic horse and livestock drinkers for over 25 years. The concept for today’s unit was conceived when the inventor, Frank Frodsham, had a horse that was not eating or drinking. When the veterinarian was called, he The Birth of the Non-Electric Watering System in America could not diagnose a problem. Just as the vet was beginning to leave the area, his assistant put his hand in the electric waterer. To his sur- prise and discomfort, she received a mild shock. The electric waterer had been shocking the horse. The horse was dehydrated--causing the sickness. As necessity is the mother of invention, Frank began working on a solution. He was never again to have a horse or animal suffer from an electric shock from an automatic waterer. And so – The Bar-Bar-A horse and livestock drinker was born. As a result of Frank's ingenu- ity the following characteristics were born: - No Electricity - No Algae - No Standing Water - Water Temperature Constant All Year Long - Low Maintenance As a company Bar-Bar-A is continuing to follow Frank's con- cern for the safety of animals by creating new ideas and improve- ments every year to their products; all for the animals and those who take such good care of them.

Calcium Quality Is Important–and It Varies Experts agree that calcium is perhaps the most important mineral in the body. It essentially regulates every bodily function. The better the calcium quality the most likely it will be absorbed. The calcium source used in Red-Cal is softer and thus more absorbable than any other kind. This means stronger bones, muscles, ligaments and a healthier horse. Calcium is especially import- ant since it allows the body’s cells to absorb more oxygen and more ox- ygen will support better conditions for thriving and staying healthy. Now consider our widely popular top-dressed BUG CHECK probiotic supplement for biting in- sect protection. It's a product that has equally supported animals in- side-and-out for over 20 years and by combining the original product with RED CAL, it is available as a "field formula" to make it possible for all horses to benefit from our Top 2 most-provided products!
