NITROFURAZONE OINTMENT (FURACIN)
Nitrofurazone Ointment (Furacin), at the December 2015 AAEP meeting, was discussed in a paper on wound management, by Dr. Hendrickson, a surgeon at Colorado State Veterinary School. "Research has shown that it retards healing rate by as much as 24%. Nitrofurazone should never be used in open wounds." SO: It is actually bad for wounds, run downs, cracked heels - avoid it.
There are many "wound treatments" on the market that actually inhibit healing. Choose carefully and wisely.

Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show

Blowing Rock Charity and Lawrenceburg Fair Horse shows have been cancelled for 2020. Looking forward to Lexington JR League, Louisville and NC State Championships hopefully happening.

The 2020 edition of the Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show is canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will return in 2021!

05/04/2020

Rooms are booked for our favorite horse show! We are looking forward to seeing friends and amazing horses compete at the JR League Horse Show in Lexington, KY. Want to join us for the fun, ask about details so you too can come with us and attend all or part of this very special National Level Show. 😀

The Lexington Junior League has a long, proud horse show history made possible by the exhibitors who return to Lexington year after year, and it is our pleasure to announce that we will welcome you back for the 84th annual show this July 6-11, 2020 at the Kentucky Horse Park.

You can find the 2020 Prize List on our website (https://bit.ly/LexPrizeList2020), and you can expect to receive it in the mail in the coming days.

The health, safety, and wellbeing of our entire horse show family is our top priority, so we are developing protocols in accordance with USEF guidelines and state and local health regulations. We will provide more detailed information soon, but the most immediate alteration for the 2020 show will be the suspension of box and specialty seating options. We will honor box seat renewals in 2021 for the 2019 box seat holders, but we will proceed without those seating options this year in order to best meet the social distancing protocols.

We look forward to seeing you in July! If you have questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to the 2020 Horse Show Chair, Betsy Davies at [email protected].
