Lunch time at CKRH!

One of the things we love most about partnering with McCauley’s is their ability to customize feed plans for every horse in our program. With a herd as diverse as ours — from steady seniors to energetic ponies to horses with metabolic needs — having access to specialized formulas, low‑starch options, and performance blends means each horse gets exactly what supports their health and comfort.

Thanks, MerryLeggs says she loves the grain.

💙A huge thank‑you to our friends at LubriSynHA for their continued support of our horses! LubriSynHA generously donates its high‑quality hyaluronic acid supplements to help keep our therapeutic herd feeling their best. Joint comfort is essential for the work our horses do every day, and this product truly makes a difference.

Developed by Dr. Steven Allday, a veterinarian specializing in joint care, LubriSynHA was created as a safe, non‑invasive alternative to injections or harsh medications. Their liquid hyluronic acid supplement is bio‑identical to what the body naturally produces, which means it’s absorbed quickly and effectively — no wasted pills or powders. Whether supporting an older horse with joint stiffness (like some of ours) or protecting the joints of an active athlete, LubriSynHA offers:

• Vet‑developed, family‑owned expertise
• Fast‑absorbing liquid HA for maximum efficiency
• A simple once‑a‑day top‑dress formula
• Optional MSM blend (LubriSynHA Plus) for added support

We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership and the care they help us provide to our amazing horses. If you’d like to try LubriSynHA for your own herd, you can use our code CKRH at LubriSyn.com for 25% off your order.

From our littlest to our largest horses, thanks, LubriSynHA, for helping them stay healthy, comfortable, and ready to shine!
