Bobby's story starts in early November 2008 were he was found in the paddock with a injured hind leg.

Bobby is a 17 year old Thoroughbred trained to work at liberty and he also loves to jump. He was a big part of our performance team until he was injured. On further examination it was found that Bobby had fractured his stifle and needed at least 6 months rest in a small paddock before begining his rehabilition program. While Bobby was resting his diet consisted of grass and hay to keep his energy level down.

In July 2009 Bobby was transported across Australia from WA to NSW where he was to resume work. Bobby can be a stressful horse and the journey over caused him to lose further weight resulting in an even longer road back to performance and show condition.  I contacted Mitavite and asked if they could help Bobby return to his former condition. Mitavite was more then helpful with this and through speaking to one of their dietitians a new diet was formulated for Bobby that consisted of Mitavite Gumnuts, Power-On, Super Amino 66, lucerne and pasture....

Bobby has now been  on this diet for 12 months and he is looking great, Bobby has  been doing more and more shows in recent times and is looking forward to meeting his fans at Equitana

Kind Regards
