is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrelsin the fastest time. Though both boys and girls compete at the youth level, in collegiate and professional ranks, it is a rodeo event for women. It combines the horse’s athletic ability and the horsemanship skills of a rider in order to safely and successfully maneuver a horse in a pattern around three barrels (typically three fifty-five gallon metal or plastic drums) placed in a triangle in the center of an arena.
Performance Horse Nutrition® (PHN®) was founded in 2002 by Dr. Stephen Duren. The goal of PHN has always been to advance the “science” of feeding horses, and equally important to disseminate that science to our clients in the simplest, most straightforward means possible. PHN prides itself on having trained Ph.D equine nutritionists that are not only scientists, but also horsemen. We understand how to feed horses and our feeds, feeding recommendations, articles and seminars reflect that understanding. Please refer to our list of services to further clarify what we can do for our clients.
