Page 16 October 2020 EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN Legends ® CarbCare ® Pellet Enhances the Diet of Horses providing controlled carbohy- drate content without compromis- ing health or appearance. Mares in early gestation have a high demand for nutrients which can be fully addressed with this pelleted feed along with hay/ pasture. Foals also have a high nutrient need, but typically do not eat a lot of feed, and it can help them meet their nutrient needs. Senior horses may need a higher level of protein, phospho- rus and vitamin C in their diet. Adding as little as an addition- al ½ lb. per day of Legends® CarbCare® Balancer Pellet can accomplish this need for added nutrition, with minimal impact on the pocketbook. Wondering which feed or supplements are right for your horse – find out with the Legends Microsteed Ration Wizard at microsteed.com/legends. (Continued from page 9) At the Franklin-Williams company, the details are in the ban- dages. For over 20 years, manufac- turing and producing quality large animal veterinary bandages has been Franklin-Williams’ target; it is their only business and therefore they devote all of their energy to maintaining the best possible prod- uct, service, and reliability. Although primarily used in equine veterinary practices and clinics, Franklin-Williams ban- dages and kits are something any transporter does not want to leave home without. Despite all of the necessary precautions, trailering injuries are bound to happen. Be prepared for the worst with an EquiWrap Trauma Kit. Working closely with equine veterinarians, Franklin-Williams created a low-cost kit to provide horse owners a means to treat leg injuries when their veterinarian is not available, such as with transport. The key is simplicity; other kits may try to provide for everything but lack the quantities needed to treat an injury in full. The EquiWrap Trauma Kit is Preparation is Key with Franklin-Williams intended only for equine leg lac- erations and delivers a generous amount of high quality, effective bandages. The instructions are plainly written, illustrated, and bilingual. When a horse is in trouble, there is no time to waste. Choose a bandage that quickly does what it’s designed to do, without any fuss. Other products include the SteriRoll, RediRoll, and Combi- Roll, all available in widths from eight to eighteen inch. Specific bandaging problems or requests are welcome…if the solution is not at Franklin-Williams, the helpful support staff will refer clients to another source for assistance. Located in Kentucky, Frank- lin-Williams products are deliv- ered mainly throughout North America, with additional exports to Asia, Europe, and Latin Amer- ica.
