Idyllic Defeats See You At Peelers


Swedish Horse Power "GASTROMIN" Feed has proven to be a real success story for Idyllic

Laying her perfect 22-race win streak on the line in the $193,150 Nadia Lobell from the outside post position amidst of field of nine three-year-old pacing fillies, See You At Peelers was defeated by Idyllic in a shocker at The Meadows on Monday afternoon.

Heavy 1-5 favourite See You At Peelers and driver Marcus Johansson blasted to command off the gate and carved out brisk fractions of :26.1, :53.1 and 1:21.1 with Idyllic and David Miller advancing first up from fifth. The daughter of American Ideal-Magical Dreamer, who was within reach of 'Peelers' around the final turn, soared past the tiring pacesetter in the stretch to score the 1:50 track record triumph. Myluvmylife (Brian Sears) finished second off a pocket trip and Swinging Beauty (Doug McNair) was third.

See You At Peelers finished sixth in her first ever career loss.

"She raced unbelievably good," said Miller of his filly. "Last week [in the Valley Forge at Harrah's Chester] I got away third and made the same move and she wasn't wasn't there. My filly was much better today. With [See You At Peelers starting from] the outside post and [trainer Ron] Burke had three of them in there I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but I didn't think it would be easy."

Idyllic, Canada's 2010 Two-Year-Old Pacing Filly of the Year, has hit the board in all eight of her prior starts this season while chasing after See You At Peelers.

"It's our turn. That's an amazing horse and to beat her is an amazing thing," continued Miller. "She's been right there with 'Peelers' every week. I was surprised that she beat her and I was really surprised with the way she did it."

Idyllic paid $12 to win for the 5-1 upset. Casie Coleman trains the millionairess for the West Wins Stable of Cambridge, Ont., Michael La Cova and Joseph Lacova of West Islip, New York, and John Campagnuolo of Loxahatchee, Florida.

Ligamin (part 2)


The Hoof

The hoof is stable, elastic and very resistant andfor the horse, an important tactile organ.

Three layers of horn, the toplayer, the ground border of thewall and the insensitive laminaeform the hoof.

These three layers are intimately connected andform a unit, ”the wall”. Inside the horn the hoofmeat is contained. The corium produces or secreteskeratin and forms the horn.

The hoofs have a rich blood circulation and inthe deeper parts of the hoof the pedal and navicularbones are located.

The deep digital flexor tendon is attached to thelower side of the pedal bone. The navicularbursa lies between the navicular bone and thedeep digital flexor tendon.

The bottom of the hoof consists of the sole andfrog. The sole is concave towardsthe frog and is made of softerhorn than the wall of the hoof.

The frog consists more of elastickeratin than the sole or wall of thehoof does.

The mechanism of the hoof is themotion generated in the hoofwhile exposed to pressure or concussion.

Functional irregularities

Decreased blood circulation in the muscles ofthe shoulders and hindquarters affectjahablood circulation all the way down into thehoof.

If there is bad circulation inthe hoof they will be dryfrom the inside. It will be abase for cracks.Through the extreme pressurethe hoof is exposed to,during trotting or galloping,the position of the hoofmust be correct.

When allowed to grow too long, the hoof islikely to receive a hoofcrack. A hoof crack is notnormal; it is the result ofneglect.

Laminitis hoof is a commonexpression for anovergrown hoof. This iswhy it receives so called laminitis-ringsthough these can also appear on a badlytrimmed hoof. Fodder poisoning can causelaminitis and if the horse is given very coldwater it can cause laminitis.

Ligamin (part 1)


Ligamin or PC #4 for the Hoof, Skeleton and Muscle System

LIGAMIN - FOR MUSCLE, JOINTS AND HOOFS

We have, based on our experiences, chosen to add micro doses of the active ingredients in the different products. Micro doses have proven to be a powerful and efficient way to
supply the organism with nutrient substrates.

This is how the body functions.
The Skeleton and Joints.
The locomotors system consists of the striated muscle, skeleton and the junctions of skeletal like joints and tendons. The skeleton is held together by bands and ligaments and they form attachments and levers for the muscles.

The skeleton of a mature horse consist of 205 bones and some cartilage. The function of the skeleton is both supportive and a supplier of calcium and phosphate. Some of the bone and bone marrow produces red and
white blood cells.

The Muscles
The skeletal muscles are the horse’s energy source. Nutrients, from metabolism, are carried to the muscles via the blood circulation, and the muscles make the fuel that supplies the energy. A horse’s skeletal muscles are very well developed and specially evolved for rapid movement. The connective tissue has an extensive blood circulation. The capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) form a very close net in the connective tissue. The majority of the muscle fibers are situated close to a capillary.
