Renew Gold™ is happy to welcome Professional Dressage Riders and Trainers, Steffen & Shannon Peters to the team!
"I have moved all of my horses over to Renew Gold, and taken them off all grains. The difference in their coats, mane, tails and hooves is amazing!! Better yet, they are extremely consistent in their work, the hotter ones cool down, and the ones that need more energy have picked up. Renew Gold™ has been the perfect addition to our feed program, for performance and health, I don't think there is anything better!!!"
-Shannon Peters
