I used to remember paging through the annual Willis & Geiger print catalog. It left you reminiscing of days afield and dreaming of more days to come.

Harvey Wallbanger & Gillette Race Track
But, Where is the Finish Line! Energy Downs You will find Energy Downs at the Cam-Plex facility in Gillette, Wyoming. It's your typical Western Fair Track, it features an open air grandstand that seats 3,000 people. The track appears to be a five eights mile dirt oval. One thing that seems to be missing is the finish line. Harvey, by a snout Thanks to instant racing, pari mutual racing returned to Energy Downs in 2015, after a nineteen year hiatus. I have no idea what name the track went by back then. Racing came back for three days in 2015 and has been upped to six days in 2016. If you want to try instant racing or simulcasting, you have to head to the Sundance Lounge. In 1985, Harvey Wallbanger broke his maiden at Energy Downs, he won a 110yd match race against a quarter horse by two and a half lengths. From there he would go on to win 79 of 93 races in the United States, Canada and Mexico against quarter horses, thoroughbreds and standardbreds. Not to shabby for a one ton Bison! The Harvey Wallbanger cocktail, apparently no relation, was created in 1969 as a marketing campaign by McKesson Imports Company, importer of Galliano, as a means of driving sales of Galliano. The campaign was headed by George Bednar, marketing director of McKesson, and a cartoon character was commissioned from graphic artist William J. "Bill" Young in Lima, New York,[1][2] with the tagline that Bednar claimed to have penned: "Harvey Wallbanger is the name. And I can be made!"[3][4][5] The Harvey Wallbanger character was a surfer, appearing in various ads during the campaign, and was mentioned in print as early as 1969,[3]

Vitamin B Complex: Essential for Equine Health
Vitamin B12: Essential for Equine and Rider Health We like to give the horses 10 cc of vitamin B12 once or twice a week with an IM injection, whenever they are looking thin for a hard season of polo or foxhunting. You can continue dosing weekly until they look better. Of course, this has to be combined with good feed. You can give yourself 3 mcg while you are at it, of course check with your doctor first, but these are all the rage at the wellness, weight loss and anti-aging clinics. Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) for horses supports energy metabolism, red blood cell production, and nerve function. While healthy horses produce their own B12 in the hindgut via dietary cobalt, supplementation is used to combat fatigue, improve appetite, and support horses under stress, traveling, or in heavy training. Best Uses: Beneficial for horses with poor appetite, chronic diarrhea, or during high-stress situations like transportation or heavy competition. Signs of Need: While rare, a true deficiency may show as lethargy, loss of appetite, and poor performance . Forms: Available as oral supplements (pellets, pastes), and injectable solutions, often mixed with folic acid. No Toxicity: B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning they are easily excreted. No toxicity has been observed in horses. Dietary Factors: High-grain, low-forage diets may decrease natural production, making supplementation more relevant. Veterinary Advice: Always consult a veterinarian for appropriate dosage and to determine if supplementation is necessary.
