SETTING SUN'S APOLLO
WORLD’S CHAMPION TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE
This vigorous, handsome horse was judged World’s Champion
Two-Year-Old in 1964. He is owned by Dr. and Mrs. Eugene B. Sliger of
Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Billy Brantley, professional trainer at
Battleground Stables, Chattanooga, Tennessee, has supervised the care
and training of Apollo from the time he was weaned.
"...literally raised on
FORMULA 707
As a colt, APOLLO was put on the
Battleground Stables’ regular bal­
anced ration, which is supplemented
with two ounces per day of Formula
707 for each horse. Billy Brantley
states, “Formula 707 is the backbone
of our feeding program; APOLLO
was literally raised on it.”
Like other successful trainers who have
praised world-famous Formula 707, Billy
Brantley is aware of the value of a bal­
anced ration in maintaining peak per­
formance. He knows that a horse must be
properly nourished from the day it is
born (or even from the day it is con­
ceived), and that a careful feeding pro­
gram must be continued every day of its
life.
The typical ration at Battleground
Stables is timothy and clover hay and a
balanced mixture of shelled corn, cotton­
seed meal and crimped oats fed accord­
ing to weight and work of the individual
horse. To be sure it contains all vitamins
and minerals essential to the good health
and maximum growth of a horse, this ex­
cellent ration is supplemented with a
complete ration balancer .. . two ounces
of Formula 707 per horse each day. Re­
sult?—strong, healthy colts that respond
well to vigorous training and show ring
discipline.
Mr. Brantley adds, “I started using
Formula 707 for both pleasure and show
horses in 1961. Our horses seem to like
it, and it certainly helps to condition
them—makes healthy coats, good appe­
tites; and it appears to be a definite asset
to putting weight on our horses without
overfeeding.”
Formula 707 is available in 10-, 25-
and 50-pound drums. A 10-pound drum,
at $9.75, will last one horse 80 days. You
can buy Formula 707 from your local
tack shop, feed store or veterinarian,
where you can also get a copy of “Com­
mon Sense Horse Nutrition.” This book­
let contains authoritative information
about The Basic Ration. Feeding the
Nursing Foal and Fitting for Show.
