The proof is in the hoof

Sorry about the pun, but this is going to be the running commentary on Thoroughbred Bold Pixel and her owner Simon Fernandez. They live in South Africa and ‘BP’ (Simon trades petrochemicals!) is a shining example of how timely-started, ongoing nutrient loading with Aloeride makes a monumental difference to (young) race horses. Simon became interested in Aloeride because Bold Pixel developed typical Thoroughbred hooves with the difficulty of keeping shoes on. The proof is in the hoof, read his feedback after having started BP on 1 sachet a day:

19 Jun 2013: “My filly is really looking good, we are now into our 5th month on Aloeride. As a 2 y/o she had her first race… Although working very well at home, she was outdone by being very green and was quite overwhelmed by all the horses around her when they jumped. We believe she had a good experience and will go on from here. After the race she pulled up sound, so no problems there. Also must admit that since she’s been in training we have had no vet issues and she is very healthy… Thanks to Aloeride.”

Although this thoroughbred was put on Aloeride for her hooves, other benefits soon became manifest. Her condition rapidly improved and this muscular development wasn’t lost on her trainer. Training times also took a leap for the better, so much so, that her trainer pulled up Simon to ask what on earth he was feeding her: Aloeride next to her standard feed, nothing else. Further comment on 15 Feb 2014 “Been on Aloeride for just over 1 year. Her maiden win on 5 Feb 2014, we had another run on 22 Feb 2014. Good run for first one out the maidens.. close up 3rd at long odds. Needless to say, she pulled up very well from her run.”

The header image shows Bold Pixel thundering to the post at Kenilworth (RSA) on 5th Feb, winning distance 1¼. His trainer Carl Burger of Powerhouse Racing, jockey Christopher Puller and owner Simon Fernandez were suitably delighted. Beyond a good win it was noted just after the race, how completely nonplussed, no sweat and looking very easy BP was. This is how you want your racehorses to look after delivering a win. Simon sold BP to Carl J. Burger, who discontinued with the Aloeride. BP continued to race at Kenilworth but failed to break its maiden status and has concluded its racing career with her last running on the 10th Aug 2015 at Kenilworth.

Valid observations by Han van de Braak: when it comes to cost per horse per day, the increased lean muscle mass would increase the value of this young thoroughbred at auction, with every race won her value goes up, less money needed to be spent on specialist farriery, less money needed to be spent on veterinary care other than on routine work, no money needed to be spent on electrolyte supplements as recovery after racing is excellent, no money needed to be spent on other supplements full stop. Many thoroughbred racehorse owners buy Aloeride in shippers because of the excellent savings, and feed it because it increases profitability.
