Dynamite Foals

Dynamite Specialty Products puts out a monthly newsletter, and numerous testimonials are usually included. In addition, a friend with 40 years of experience breeding quarter horses and over a decade using Dynamite puts out a newsletter. The consensus of equine breeders in these newsletters seems to be that the full benefit of using Dynamite products is seen after three generations.

While I don't have three generations of Dynamite Fell Ponies on the ground yet, I do now have two. Willowtrail Columbine is my first second-generation Dynamite baby. Collie's dam Turkey Trot Sand Lily has been on Dynamite since her own dam and sire were bred. I have definitely seen a difference between Collie and my other foals. She was the most energetic at birth, and was on her feet and moving longer and faster than my previous foals. She was also ready to be let out of the foaling stall a day earlier than I'm used to. The greatest challenge I face with Collie is getting a decent picture of her standing still! I've attached one of her at four days, in motion.

While I'm seeing the benefits of Dynamite in my second generation foal, I'm also seeing it in the rest of my foal crop. The longer my mares and stallion are on Dynamite, the better each subsequent foal gets. While general health and vitality are great in these foals, the best of the Fell Pony characteristics seem to be emphasized as well: better conformation, movement, and temperament. The worst thing about using Dynamite is that it's impossible to quit after bringing Dynamite foals into the world like this. I look forward to one day having a third-generation Dynamite foal and discovering what more is possible.
