The survey is available at: https://delaware.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6fYXAjZZaie0Lf8. The first survey question will ask for a side-profile photo of your horse without any tack (see example), please have the photo ready before you start the survey. Owners and managers who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to win a two horse Premium Yearly FeedXL Horse Nutrition Calculator Membership voucher!
