Choice of Champions Sponsors Top International Eventer Boyd Martin

Wellington, FL – International eventer Boyd Martin is thrilled with the success of his three-day event horses and believes their accomplishments are due in part to supplements from Choice of Champions International. Martin, who was short-listed for the Olympics in his native Australia, is now being sponsored by Choice of Champions.

“Boyd is one of the top eventing competitors in the world, and we are pleased to partner with him,” said Allyn Maix, President of Choice of Champions. “He has been using all of our products and is raving about them.”

Martin, and his wife Silva, relocated to the United States in early 2007 and currently work out of Phillip and Evie Dutton’s True Prospect Farm in West Grove, Pennsylvania. Martin works as Dutton’s assistant trainer while also competing his own horses at the four-star level. “I hope to compete for the United States very soon,” Martin said.

Martin said his success with Choice of Champion products has been overwhelming, turning many of his horses from mediocre athletes to true champions. “I am using all of their products on my top competitive horses and they feel great,” he said. “I had some horses that use to struggle with sweating and I started using True Sweat from Choice of Champions and now they are lathered in sweat by the end of the course. It is wonderful.”

Martin also praises Ulser Shield, a supplement that helps horses who are prone to ulcers, for saving his owners money. “I have saved my owner’s thousands of dollars on expensive pastes by switching to Ulser Shield,” he said. “I’ve also stopped spending money on injectable joint aids by switching to Choice of Champion’s Super Joint Solution. My horses have never felt so good and they even feel great after a hard cross-country course.”

Martin continues to praise Choice of Champion products, and said the calming supplement Easy Does It has solved his problem with his high-strung eventers. “Easy Does It really helps the horses concentrate and stay calm before dressage. It allows the horse to think clearly while under pressure,” he added.

Maix does not recommend Easy Does It for FEI competitors. For horses competing at the top levels of their sport, Ulser Sheild can have a calming effect. Maix explains, “Ulser Shield has a calming effect on most horses in general. It keeps the acid and gas in the horse’s digestive system down in stressful situations. Ulser Shield seems to be highly effective in calming horses at the FEI level.”

Choice of Champion also produces Lung Aid, a comprehensive conditioner for the lungs, and Martin is a fan of the supplement. “When the going gets tough at the end of a cross-country course, you need a horse that is operating with all of its energy,” he said. “With Lung Aid I feel the horses are fresh and able to breathe deeper.”

Maix and Sylvia Firestone, horsewomen that have been involved in the equine industry for more than 30 years, founded Choice of Champions to fill the need for specialized supplements designed to aid sport horses. Based in Wellington, Florida, the Choice of Champions owners have been able to see first hand the demands placed on top eventing, dressage, polo, racing, hunter, and jumper horses.

Maix encourages horse owners, riders and trainers to try their products, and free samples are available by visiting the Choice of Champions website at www.choiceofchamps.com or calling 1-800-868-1077.
