“We are thrilled to have Four Sixes Equine Supplements as an event partner for the first time this year. The Four Sixes Ranch has decades of experience and knowledge in raising athletic Quarter Horses. Legendary Quarter Horses and top-notch Angus cattle are the hallmarks of this heritage ranch, which has generations of experience at the forefront of the Western industry. It's a perfect fit,” said Amanda Brumley, Vice President and Producer of The Run For A Million.
Four Sixes Equine Supplements are designed to nourish the ranch's working, breeding and show horses. The product line includes formulas for equine joint health, complete gastrointestinal support, a carefully balanced multivitamin/mineral supplement, a daily electrolyte powder and an electrolyte paste for supplemental nutrition on the go. These nutritional formulas were carefully developed by and for the Four Sixes Ranch, in collaboration with some of the world's leading equine veterinarians and nutritionists. The ranch-inspired supplements are made with the highest quality ingredients and are based on peer-reviewed research to provide optimal nutrition for the hardest working horses both on the ranch and in the performance arena.
“The ranch has a century-long tradition of raising, training and caring for some of the finest Quarter Horses in the world,” said Dr. Nathan Canaday, veterinarian and head of equine operations at Four Sixes Ranch. “The Four Sixes Equine Supplements line reflects the ranch's ongoing commitment to promoting equine health through premium nutrition. These research-based formulas are at the core of a horse's daily nutritional needs and we are proud to share our real-world experience and knowledge with the industry.”
“The development of this product line with Four Sixes Ranch was born out of a shared commitment to superior nutrition, optimizing horse performance, and the Sixes' long-standing tradition as a leader in equine care,” added Rob Franklin, MD, board certified internal medicine physician, co-founder and chief physician of Four Sixes Equine Supplements, and past president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. “Collaborating with The Run For A Million provides the perfect opportunity to connect with leaders in the western performance world and provide education on the critical role nutrition plays in helping these elite equine athletes perform at their best and recover effectively.”
