Bluegrass Horse Feeds is delighted to announce its appointment as the Official Feed Consultants to Ireland's equestrian teams through Horse Sport Ireland (HSI). Bluegrass Horse Feeds has been the choice of some of Irelands leading breeders, trainers, and Olympic riders over the past several years, and the results have been historic.
Bluegrass works closely with riders and owners so they achieve optimum performance from their horses. The company has fed many horses at the top of their respective sports including the Dublin Horse Show supreme champion for three consecutive years. In addition, Bluegrass supplied the feed for the Irish three-day event team at the Athens and Beijing Olympics. As the success and cooperation with riders and trainers grows, Bluegrass is proud to have been recognised and appointed as the official feed consultants to HSI.
Bluegrass Horse Feeds, a family-owned company with over 150 years of milling experience, is a Team Member of Kentucky Equine Research (KER), a company that conducts extensive nutritional and physiological studies designed to improve the health and performance of all horses. Feeds manufactured by Bluegrass are created using this research, which gives Bluegrass products a distinct advantage in a competitive marketplace.
Declan Cullen, Bluegrass sales manager, explains, "Bluegrass is delighted to have been appointed by HSI as the official feed consultants to Ireland's equestrian teams. We have been working with top-class riders and trainers for many years now, helping them get the most from their horses when competing at the international level. We are very much looking forward to meeting up with all the riders and teams and providing advice and guidance to enhance the performance of the horses in the international squads through improved feeding strategies. The ultimate goal, of course, will be to bring medals home from London in 2012!"
HSI chairman Joe Walsh said that it was important that Irish teams had the best professional advice available to them. "Bluegrass Horse Feeds, through its links with KER, was extremely helpful to our eventing team in preparing for Hong Kong, and I am sure KER's expertise will benefit all of our international riders," he said.
