Riley Luginbill of the Stillwater FFA Chapter in Oklahoma has conducted three research projects designed to improve the performance of racehorses. Her initial project tested horses’ cardiovascular health based on which feed ration would best maintain a quicker recovery rate in performance horses. Her most recent project evaluated three types of iron boosting supplements for horses to determine which can best maintain a steady level of red blood cell counts to prevent anemia. Luginbill is supported by her parents, Jeannie and Bryan and her advisors Robby Branscum, Bailey Kliewer and Carl Nipper. Sponsored by Zoetis.
