The Red Dragon Endurance Ride has gained sponsorship from Speedi-Beet for the second year running. Speedi-Beet is supporting both the Golden Dragon and the Dragon's Tail rides.
The event is based at the Royal Welsh Showground and runs from 30th September to 2nd October 2005.
One of the oldest rides in the country, The Red Dragon provides an end of season party for Endurance competitors and always attracts a lot of interest and many top riders.
Organiser Pat Conn said: "We are delighted to have support from Speedi-Beet once again. Their sponsorship is much appreciated."
Simon Parker of Speedi-Beet said: "We are looking forward to supporting such an important event in the endurance calendar.
Speedi-Beet from Masham Micronized Feeds is a unique 'ready in 10 minutes' sugar beet feed.
Launched in 2000 after a period of extensive research and development, the feed is highly nutritional and unmolassed 95% sugar free.
It also provides rapid re-hydration for the performance horse whilst optimising energy release rate. This is due to the soluble fibre in Speedi-Beet, which has a high water holding capacity increasing the amount of fluid in the horses' hindgut. This reservoir can then be drawn upon during prolonged excercise such as endurance riding to help replace water lost through sweating.
Adding small amounts of Speedi-Beet to water may also encourage difficult horses to drink during events.
