National Reined Cow Horse Association Sponsor Committee Chairman Carol Rose announced in early July that the NRCHA has secured a new Corporate Partner - Adequan®.
The relationship with Adequan® is a new one but it brings back a long-time friend of the NRCHA, Allyn Mann, now Senior Manager, Animal Health Division for Luitpold Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the manufacturer of Adequan. Mann, formerly with Bayer Corporation, was glad to have the opportunity to again be involved with the NRCHA.
“It is such a tremendous honor to welcome Adequan® as the Official Joint Therapy of the NRCHA,” said Rose. She continued, “It has been through Allyn Mann’s efforts that we were able to create this partnership.”
“The NRCHA was first introduced to Allyn in May of 2002, when he brought Bayer and its product, Legend®, to the NRCHA as one of the first members of our Corporate Family. I am sure that many of our NRCHA members who have come to know and appreciate him for his friendship and true support of the reined cow horse industry will be eager to see him again at our major events.”
“I am thrilled to have Allyn back in our saddle representing one of the best products for maintaining the high performance level of our reined cow horses.”
Mann was equally enthusiastic about the new partnership. “Carol, the NRCHA staff and its members are some of the most professional and enjoyable horsemen in the industry. I am excited to be involved with this group and look forward to seeing everyone in Reno this fall,” said Mann.
