Kyle and Jenna Kellmer have a successful business that focuses on Reining and Rope horses. They travel all over the country for different events/competition and had always struggled with finding the optimal solution to not only keep their horses hydrated and balanced, but also to keep them in peak condition while undergoing long/grueling horse shows. The Kellmer’s are located in Washington State so it is not uncommon for their horses to have to travel 2000+ miles for a competition.  

“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to test the EOR Strips when they were first developed by Dr Patrick Young.  Keeping our horses drinking while on the road has always been a challenge, but after using the strips for 2 years now, we can confidently say that we have not had an issue since.  We have also experimented with some of our young horses that (after being at a show for a week plus) start to feel tired and worn down, after a day or so of using the strips again, they have renewed strength and stamina. My favorite part of using the EOR Strips is that there is no stomach issues associated with using this form of electrolyte, so I no longer have to worry about weighing the risk/reward when administering electrolytes to a horse that I also worry about ulcers.”

Stevie is a professional horsewoman and endurance coach. She is known for bringing five or more horses through the Tevis Cup one day one hundred mile worlds toughest endurance race successfully each year and for competing on a national level with her horses and riders in endurance. She was lucky enough to be involved in the beta testing of EOR Strips and used them on the 20 Mule Team 100 for her top horse Sparta who during the competition ate and drank better then she had ever before. It brought them into a top five finish and had everyone asking what these wonderful and easy to use strips were.

“The hassle of trying to oral syringe electrolyte five or more horses throughout a 100 mile race can be overwhelming, and unpleasant for the horse, with the strips the process is quick, clean, easy and best of all, changes the game on absorption of electrolytes interfering with feed and causing potential stomach issues; I love my horses and I don’t want to worry about salts upsetting their stomach during heavy work.” Stevie will be using EOR strips at all of their major races this year including Tevis and the American Endurance Ride National Championships.
