On Demand Content
Today's on demand content is provided by our partners at Adequan. Active horses need healthy cartilage to maintain joint function. In joints with degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis, the complex process of cartilage repair is unable to keep up with damage. This video from Adequan explains the process of cartilage breakdown and how Adequan can help reduce inflammation, restore joint lubrication, repair cartilage, and reverse the disease cycle.

Young Event Horse
Young Event Horse Arden Augustus Exceeds All Expectations for Antenucci and White
Every horse who participated this year in the USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) program has a story—a background that involves a breeder who labored over bloodlines, veterinary care, initial training, and so much more. This year’s highest-placing U.S.-bred horse in the 5-year-old division at the Dutta Corp./USEA Young Event Horse Championships, Arden Augustus, is no exception. His breeder and owner, Anita Antenucci of Arden Farms in Upperville, Virginia, started her program nine years ago and said that the Warmblood gelding was a more emotionally driven breeding for her than others due to his connections with Antenucci’s long-time friend Sharon White.
