Arenus News Releases

If rescue horses could talk, what stories might they tell? Amid such forlorn herds are often forgotten champions once unbeatable in the ring but no match against infirmity or misfortune. At ReHorse Rescue Ranch in Jamestown, California, director and self-appointed “Barn Mom” Raquelle Van Vleck makes sure every horse that crosses her threshold gets the blue ribbon care they deserve. Part of her winning recipe during their recovery has been supplementing with ASSURE® by Arenus. In a heart-felt personal letter to Arenus, Van Vleck said: “We have forty-five horses at ReHorse Rescue Ranch, and in the last year, have taken in twenty-one emaciated or severely underweight horses. Reintroducing these equines to feed is a delicate process. They can be very prone to colic during rehabilitation. Any owner that has experienced colic knows how horrible it is and how helpless we feel to provide relief or, even worse, to see a horse die or have to make that dreaded decision.”

Arenus, the maker of natural supplements for digestive, joint, skin & coat, and behavioral health in dogs and horses, was one of only eleven companies recently awarded the NASC Visibility Award by the National Animal Supplement Council. The distinction is given to companies that go above and beyond the NASC’s requirements for promoting the NASC Quality Seal and the high standards the seal represents. Arenus received the honor at the NASC’s 2011 Annual Meeting in San Diego.

Arenus recently launched an innovative new line of health and nutrition products for companion animals. The company is leveraging the strong research and development experience and veterinary knowledge of its parent company, Novus International, to address very real health concerns consumers have about their pets. The company introduced retailers to its new, natural supplements for digestive, joint, skin and coat, and behavioral health in March, at the 2011 Global Pet Expo in Orlando, FL.

Arenus, a premier provider of innovative health and nutritional products for pets and horses, in conjunction with the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), is pleased to congratulate the 2010 National Reining Horse Rider of the Year winners. Shawn Flarida, who is the NRHA’s first Four Million Dollar Rider, took home the 2010 Rider of the Year title. “Arenus wants to congratulate all of the Rider of the Year winners. Everyone put in a great amount of effort and dedication and Arenus is once again pleased to sponsor the Rider of the Year awards,” said Brady Karren, Arenus Equine Sales Specialist/Nutritionist.

Olympic British Show Jumper Ben Maher and his stunning black stallion, Tripple-X III, put in a clear round in the $150,000 Wellington Equestrian Realty Grand Prix to take home fourth place during the eighth week of the 2011 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival. Tripple-X’s quick and solid round also helped the duo win the Arenus Performance and Conditioning Award, sponsored by Arenus, a premier provider of innovative health and nutrition products for pets and horses, and given to one horse during the show whose conditioning enhances its performance.

Amanda Steege, of Ashmeadow Farm in Oldwick, New Jersey, is a strong believer in horse care and conditioning being among the most important things a rider can concentrate on in order to produce a good performance. One look at the wall of ribbons at Ashmeadow’s stabling area at HITS Ocala proves that Steege’s horses, including Harvard, Prestigious, Majestic, Maximillian, Balou, Duval, San Remo and Allejandro, are not only fit but turning out excellent performances.

Arenus, a premier provider of innovative health and nutritional products for pets and horses, is pleased to announce they are sponsoring nine-goal polo player Julio Arellano. Considered one of the top polo players in the United States, Arellano was born in Nicaragua and moved with his family to Wellington, Florida, when he was seven years old so his father could play polo.

Brazilian Olympic Gold medalist Rodrigo Pessoa rode away as the winner of the Arenus Performance and Conditioning Award aboard Champ 163 during the third week of the 2011 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival. Champ 163, owned by Legacy Stables LLC, finished ninth in the 1.50m Jumper Classic.

Reining champion Shawn Flarida has added another win to his long and impressive resume, riding away with the 2010 National Reining Horse Rider of the Year title. Sponsored by Arenus, a premier provider of innovative health and nutritional products for pets and horses, in conjunction with the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), Flarida won the Rider of the Year title with RC Fancy Step, owned by the Plummer Family of SDP Buffalo Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas.
