Sponsored Eventers Jockey for Position at the Mars Eventing Showcase

Kentucky Equine Research-sponsored riders Buck Davidson and Liz Halliday-Sharp were in a tight race to win the Mars Eventing Showcase at the Palm Beach Equestrian Center in Wellington, Florida.

With less than one point separating the top four finishers, Buck and Carlevo finished just 0.4 points off the leader to earn second with a score of 28.60, while Liz and Deniro Z finished fourth with a score of 29.00. Liz also had one of the largest jumps up the scoreboard, moving from seventeenth to seventh with Cooley Quicksilver after a clear show-jumping round.

Buck relies on KER Sport Horse Nutrition feeds to ensure his horses perform their best. “KER has always been the authority on feeding high-performance sport horses,” Buck said. “I’ve always relied on KER-formulated feeds.”

Liz feeds Deniro Z RE-LEVE® from KER Targeted Nutrition. “Last year we found out that Deniro Z had really terrible ulcers. We couldn’t believe it because he looks wonderful, and he’s a very happy horse. When his performance dwindled at an event, we had him scoped, and we were horrified to see how many ulcers he had,” she said. “Now, we’re really strict with our feeding program. We’ve always supported RE-LEVE Original, but he used to get a little bit more energizing feed. Now, he is purely on RE-LEVE Original, and he’s never been better.”

Liz also uses Bio-Bloom™ PS, EO-3™, EquiShure®, Nano-Q10™, Restore® SR, RiteTrac®, and Synovate HA® to give her horses targeted nutritional support for optimal performance.
