I would like to thank the Tribute team and especially Larry Belluscio and Dr. Dan Burke for their help in correcting the contracted tendons on my now two year old filly, Shesa Cool Heir. With their help and the use of Essential K, I now have her legs corrected and after about 6 weeks of fitting, we earned our first reserve championship! She continues to grow and build muscle, and with the addition of the K Finish, she is coming on strong. We are looking forward to our next show. She is doing great!

Maddie Blackman and Gordonstown are 3 day eventers from New Jersey. Maddie says, "I would like to thank Tribute feeds           for making such great quality products that my horses and I love. That's why I choose Kalm Ultra for them because it gives              such a great balance of low protein and high fat with great key nutrients in the food for the horses to keep them at a high           performance level."

The weanling fillys both seem to be doing better on the Essential K now and the yearling is walking much better and she even      loped across the field this week. This is my halter mare that was reserve at the turkey circuit. I have cut her grain in half and switched her to the Essential K and she's continuing to get bigger. The mare I put on Kalm 'N Fit is changing dramatically and becoming much stronger and really developing muscle. Thanks for all your help.

Angelo Berrettini feeds Gunners Indian nothing but Tribute Essential K. All of his stallions, mares, and offspring are of world champion status.

Bailey is a Grand Champion in English and Showmanship. She feeds her horse Essential K.

 We just wanted to send a comment to your company that we really enjoy your feed. We run a reining training operation (Pagh         Reining Cowhorses) in Ocala, Florida. We buy Tribute Kalm Ultra from Berrettini Feeds. We have been using it for about a year      now, and we see the results. Our horses are slick and fat and have great stamina. Rest assured when your horse is in training      here, they are getting the best food we can buy!!

 From Brad and Esther Pagh in Florida 

 We are getting our first order tomorrow. I am very impressed with your Middlefield branch! Very nice people and they are even       going to deliver our order to us and then will deliver every 2 weeks. I know that 10 bags is not a larger order, but this does say something about your company. Thank you.

From Debbie in Ohio

We last communicated in November '08 when I sought your expertise in regards to my saddlebred who had recently endured a laminitic episode. Oscar is now doing GREAT!! In fact, I rode him light yesterday. He's bright and alert, engaged with life and            requires very little pain management. His coat is glossy. Thank you Dr. Burke!

We are feeding Tribute Maturity to an 18 year old thoroughbred to keep his weight up. We are getting great results and are very                happy with the product.

From Barb in Ohio

When I first started riding Huntin in Color as a gelding, he was thin and pointy all over his back and he needed lots of muscle.

In less than 2 months of feeding him Essential K GC with oats, he was in great shape! Not only did his body condition improve,          but his haircoat was awesome!

Huntin in Color became a two time 2008 Pinto World Champion.

From Melissa in OH

I'm new at feeding Tribute feeds but I love the Kalm Performer. I'm a professional barrel racer and I love how my horses perform and look. My stallion (Dash of Indian Money) even looks and acts terrific on your feed!

From Alaina in Butler, PA

This beautiful little lady is Primero Chase Maharet. She won 5th place at the Fino 2007 Paso World Championships in Pleasure Schooling Fillies 41- 60 months. 

This colt is Primero Clase Quinto at 3 weeks old (2007).

This is Primero Clase Quinto a year later in 2008.

These horses were bred by and are owned and trained by Carolyn Kakuska from the First Class Horse Complex in Bristol,      Wisconsin.

Carolyn says: All the horses above have been on Tribute's Essential K and Kalm N' EZ daily. The foals have never eaten any food           but Tribute for their entire lives (this includes gestation).

This TRIBUTE is to a 3 year old race horse named, "Big Drama," that has earnings of over 2 million dollars as a 2 year old. This           horse will run in the Preakness in May! He is one of the thousands of horses that eat Kalmbach Feeds' Tribute Brand           Horse Feeds every day. You should feel good that your role in Kalmbach helps produce some of the best feeds in the world. Tribute.....the Power of Results. Thank you for all you do.

Smitty is a 29 year old Thoroughbred Gelding. He came to my Catchin' Z's Farm on December 11, 2008. He had taken ill where he was being boarded and was in the hospital for three days before he came to my farm. Smitty's diagnosis was dehydration and malnutrition. Smitty's owner of over 25 years flew in to see him and was horrified by his condition. She was referred by the staff             at the hospital to visit Berrettini Feed Specialists, where I work. The doctor and technicians knew that I had a retirement facility and I             fed nothing but the best, Tribute Equine Nutrition.

I got Smitty on a program of Tribute 14% Senior Textured Feed. He gets five pounds, three times a day, and free choice, quality       grass mix hay. I know I can trust that Tribute Equine Nutrition puts everything in the bag that Smitty needs to rehabilitate; no need       for additional supplements.

Smitty is well on his way to recovery, and I thank Tribute Feeds for it. Look at Smitty after 37 days on Tribute Equine Nutrition!

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how great Linda R. is. When I decided to switch feeds, she was there for EVERY call I made with my millions of questions. She definitely knows her stuff. She's solved all my issues I was having with my six horses and with my mini stallion who has a history of ulcers, and we couldn't get weight on him. She recommended one of the Start to Finish products and it has worked wonders! I have ordered more and have a friend that is going to try it as well. Thank you for your great customer service and for great products. I know my horses are grateful, especially Buck!

Congratulations to the 2008 Buckeye Futurity winner! The owner, Jennings Beegle, feeds Tribute. The Jockey,                     Richard Rettele, is 58 years old and has won several awards over the course of his years in the saddle.

"I just wanted to drop you a brief note to let you know that thanks to Doug Sutherland, we changed all our horses over to your            products several months ago.  We previously used Buckeye.  The change in all 5 horses has been tremendous.  We had several different feeding/conditioning issues and ALL 5 horses look better today than 3 months ago.  Thank you for the products           you are producing, and a HUGE thank you to Doug Sutherland for the time he took to address our needs, make suggestions and           get us pointed in a better nutrition direction."

Carol Williams

Dear Paul,

Five years ago, I took over managing Eutrophia Farms. We are the largest racing facility in Northeastern Ohio, with the capacity  to house 80 horses on the farm. Eutrophia has gone from a farm that basically did our racing at the three tracks in Ohio and           surrounding states, to a global operation.

I am an athlete who trains athletes and I believe that nutrition is a key building block to a strong and sound animal. We hired Doug Sutherland four years ago to consolidate our feed program. We have broodmares, babies, weanlings, yearlings,  two year old racehorses in training, and rehabilitation horses on the farm, all with different nutritional needs. Doug, along with Kalmbach       Feeds, has done a remarkable job to meet all the different nutritional needs that our horses have to get from one  growth stage to        the next. With your products and his knowledge of horses, it has taken the guesswork out of the equation.

I want to thank you for your investment in products, people and facilities serving the equine industry.
