AURORA, OHIO, Monday, March 21, 2011 -- Freedom Health, LLC, makers of SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program®, has announced the introduction of a new awareness campaign: the Crusade Against Equine Colic™.
As a leading equine health product, SUCCEED supports greater education and awareness of important digestive health concerns like colic. Knowledge is power. This is particularly important with colic, as it is the number one medical killer of adult domestic horses. That fact has been well-established by veterinary science, but the root causes of colic are less well understood.
Our goal is to save as many horses as possible from deadly and debilitating bouts of colic, though educating trainers, riders, farm managers … the people who care for horses every day.
“We are proud to bring you the Colic Crusade, a movement to empower you with information to help you take charge and avoid colic,” says John Hall, president and CEO of Freedom Health. “Please share this with others, invite them to visit our new website, and share your experiences so that, together, we can vastly reduce the incidence of colic.”
Here’s how you can become a Crusader in the fight against equine colic:
- Visit www.coliccrusade.com to learn how colic is induced, get tips on colic prevention, and understand the signs that your horse may be at risk
- Share your stories of colic battles lost and won
- Sign up to receive articles and colic stories from the Crusade by e-mail
- Get involved in the community at the Colic Crusade Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/ColicCrusade, follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/ColicCrusade, and spread the word.
The Crusade Against Equine Colic, presented by SUCCEED, is now live. Please join us as we campaign for better equine digestive health.

The USEA Office will be closing at 12:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 27, and will be closed Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29, for the Thanksgiving holiday. The USEA staff will return to the office on Monday, December 2.
The USEA is honored to carry forward the legacy of the traditional long-format, three-day event through the USEA Classic Series. These events celebrate the roots of our sport, offering riders a chance to step back in time and experience the original format that shaped the sport we enjoy today. From the excitement of steeplechase to the strategic demands of roads and tracks, endurance day serves as a true test of the preparation and partnership between horse and rider. In addition, horse inspections and educational opportunities add to the depth of these competitions, making them an unforgettable milestone, particularly for those experiencing the long-format for the first time.
ShowConnect, the innovative event management system for equestrian events, has undergone significant enhancements over the past few months. The development team has been working tirelessly to improve user experience, streamline processes, and add new features that cater to the diverse needs of competitors, fans, and event organizers. Let's explore the latest updates that make ShowConnect an even more powerful tool for the equestrian community.
This holiday season I’d like to begin a series of Pressure Proof tips dedicated to helping us all become a little more joyful and thankful…and we’ll do that by discussing two opposing mindsets: the growth and fixed mindset.
