Many viewers have emailed in asking about what Angelea uses around the farm for feed, forage and supplements so we decided to cover the basics of supplements. The preferred supplement around the HorseGirlTV farm is Flex plus Max because it contains everything we could want in a supplement in it so there's one bucket, one scoop and it's definitely a time saver too. The plus side is being able to feed it to the dogs as well and they love the taste as much as the horses. We use the pellets but you can get it in a powder as well. For more info on Flex plus Max you can check out Absorbine's website.

In the search for the perfect drainage system, HorseGirlTV found a recycled product that is easy to install as, or more, cost effective to rock and pipe called EZ Flow. That's a win-win-win situation. The EZ Flow system is designed to improve drainfield performance by eliminating the fines associated with crushed stone, and reducing compaction and embedment associated with stone. Watch as we chat with Woody Woodward of Infiltrator Systems and install arena drainage in a snap!

Many of the HorseGirlTV fans have emailed about the manure fork Angelea uses in previous episodes so we're opting simply to show you all how it works. It's a pretty neat fork that definitely saves on the back breaking work of stall picking. At the farm here in NC, she's been using it for over a year now and enjoys it very much. The innovator that created this fork, Joseph Berto, is located in Oregon and passionate about creating time saving and technologically advanced farm related products.

Several decades of experience with equestrian surfaces, makes Nick Attwood the perfect person to talk with about producing an effective sport horse training surface. Angelea met with Nick Attwood of Attwood Surfaces to talk about the installation of GGT, German Geo Textile, footing. GGT-Footing, a shredded textile, that stabilizes the sand particles mimicing the effect of the rooting system of turf, which has a stabilizing effect on the surrounding soil particles. GGT footing give more resilience, reduces the amount of packing and helps to hold moisture in the surface, which leads to reduced dust. The secret with GGT really is in the sand.
