️Did you know……
As we go into winter this is the season where we get drastic temperature changes, warm days and cold nights. When this happens, some horses tend to stop drinking water for short periods of time. If they are on a modestly or low digestible hay, the hay in the hind gut begins to form a dry mass because of a lack of water. If feeding Total Equine horses tend to stay hydrated better during cold weather and especially during temperature changes. This helps prevent a dry mass forming and impaction colic. Also, another way to help hydration is drop a handful of Total Equine in a water bucket.

Biography:

Danny co-founded Cowboy Lifestyle Network (CLN), now a western media powerhouse with over 4 million fans. CLN’s success reflects his deep understanding of the western community—not just its spirit, but its economic heartbeat—connecting businesses, events, and enthusiasts in a thriving industry. With this massive reach, Danny has become a trusted voice on rodeo culture, horse care, and Western traditions, covering events from the Houston Livestock Show to the Super Bowl Party Trophy Bar.

His journey to building this platform began in Arizona, where he spent eight years in Pinal County’s 4-H program, learning ranching by caring for lambs and getting to know the land like an old friend. At Arizona State University, Danny shone as a two-time "All American" diver and team captain, graduating with a business degree that sparked his entrepreneurial drive. After a decade in corporate management sharpening his leadership skills, he launched CLN.

"Giving back has always mattered to me," Danny shares. His support for Horses Help, Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, and a 25-year CLN Christmas Toy Drive proves it, building community trust through action.
