Purina Animal Nutrition has signed on as the Official Feed of the 2019 Aiken Summer Classics which kicks off on June 12th and runs through June 23rd at Bruce’s Field.

Purina’s sponsorship kicks off Week I as title sponsor of the $25,000 Purina Animal Nutrition Grand Prix, presented by Aiken Saddlery held Saturday evening in the Grand Prix Arena. Purina feed will be available for purchase at the Aiken Summer Classic and will be delivered directly to your barn at the show.

Purina is synonymous with animal nutrition. Their ideas, research and feed have revolutionized the way animals are fed. Over the past 125 years, they have discovered 235 nutritional solutions for animals across 24 species. Purina believes that there is no such thing as being too careful with animal nutrition and they test every feed product at every step. They pride themselves on quality assurance with their goal of unlocking the greatest potential of every animal.

Purina’s equine feed line addresses the unique needs of all horses including breeding, senior horses, special needs, performance horses and pleasure horses. Purina also offers gastric health and supplement feeds that address equine gastric health issues. 

“We are thrilled that Purina has continued its sponsorship of the Classic Company. Purina’s sponsorship of the Gulf Coast Winter Classic was very successful and we appreciate their support of our inaugural Aiken Summer Classic,” said Bob Bell, President of the Classic Company. “Purina Animal Nutrition is the leader in nutrition and we’re happy to exclusively offer their feeds at our Aiken Summer Classics,” he said.
