Purina Senior Tales Contest

      Owners of senior horses and ponies have very special stories to tell. Now horse enthusiasts can share their stories with the rest of the country by entering the online Purina Senior Horse Tales Contest.

      “Purina receives many heart-warming stories from people who want to talk about their relationships and experiences with their senior horse,” said Chris Goodwin, marketing manager for Purina. “Many horse lovers have owned their senior horse for a lifetime. A real family bond and connection is there, and every story told is truly one of a kind.”

      Horse enthusiasts can enter their one-of-a-kind senior horse tale in a number of categories. Winners will be chosen for the best senior horse or pony essay written in 300 words or less, the best senior horse or pony photo, the oldest horse in age and the oldest pony in age. Entrants are encouraged to include how Purina Equine Senior® horse feed has played a role in each story or photo.

      Purina Equine Senior horse feed was created over 15 years ago through research conducted at the Purina Equine research facility and a geriatric center for horses. Equine Senior® horse feed is formulated to deliver complete balanced nutrition, including forage, to the older horse with problems chewing and digesting feed due to age. Its unique pellet technology makes it easy to chew and more digestible than whole grains, hay or pasture.

      Equine lovers will have until Oct. 1, 2009 to enter their essay, photo or age of their senior horse. Grand prize winners of each category will receive one ton of Purina Equine Senior® horse feed.

               A complete list of prize winners will be available on the site by Nov. 19, 2009. For more information on the Purina Senior Horse Tales Contest and Equine Senior® horse feed, visit www.equinesenior.com.
