Tri-County Feeds, Etc. Offers New Feeds Customized for Northern Piedmont Horses

Tri-County Feeds, Etc. (TCFE), providing feed and equine and equestrian products for more 33 years, recognizes that proper nutrition is critical to horses’ well-being. TCFE worked closely with the nutritional experts at McCauley’s Equine to formulate and manufacture a complete line of feeds that addresses the specific needs of horses in the Northern Piedmont Region. Textured and pelleted customized feeds with various levels of protein, fat, and fiber are available.

TCFE Feeds for the Piedmont are:

· Produced in a drug- and medication-free, equine-only feed mill
· Made fresh to order using the highest quality ingredients available
· Highly palatable and digestible
· Fully fortified with inorganic and organic mineral sources
· Produced in consistent formulas for all ages and types of horses
· Packaged in an environmentally friendly “bag within a bag” that separates so both parts can be recycled easily
· Affordably priced

Bill Jackson, President of TCFE, said, “We saw a clear need for feeds that would meet the unique nutritional requirements of horses of all ages and disciplines located here in the Northern Piedmont.” He continued, “TCFE was pleased to work with McCauley’s Equine to develop the feeds that meet this need effectively and affordably. From babies to seniors, from healthy horses to those with special needs—TCFE Feeds for the Piedmont will deliver the nutrition required.”

The new TCFE Feeds for the Piedmont are not only good for the horses of the region—they are good for the community too. TCFE believes it is important for companies to reinvest in the communities from which they earn their livelihood—and they are doing just that with their new TCFE Feeds. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of TCFE Feeds for the Piedmont goes to the Goose Creek Association (www.goosecreekassn.org) and to the Piedmont Environmental Council (www.pecva.org and www.buylocalvirginia.org) –stewards of our environment and open space and supporters of buy local.

“Reinvesting in our region and protecting our environment have always been priorities for TCFE. Our new feeds are one more way we can support these priorities,” said Jeri Jackson, Vice President of TCFE.

Montebello Fall Trail Ride Oct 7-9, 2011

Just a quick reminder...if you haven't already registered, there is still time! We hope you can make plans to join us at the Montebello "no frills" Fall trail ride scheduled for October 7-9.


The Montebello Volunteer Fire & Emergency Services (MVFES) organization was founded in 1982. It provides emergency services to the community and to the thousands of visitors that pass through Montebello every year. The community of Montebello is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is a rural (some would say remote) area with beautiful scenery; just perfect for a getaway weekend. The fall and spring trail rides are our main fund raising events.

Our 2011 fall trail ride is on October 7-9. This fall tradition sponsored by MVFES coincides with the crew cooking apple butter over an outdoor fire. We enjoy providing you the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful scenery in Virginia, and we appreciate the support you provide to help us protect it.



Advance registration and payment are required for each rider. Registration forms for the Fall ride should be submitted by September 30, 2011 and include a copy of the Coggins report for each horse.


Please visit our website https://sites.google.com/site/montebellotrailrides/  for all the details, including registration forms. If you have additional questions, please contact us at montebellotrails@gmail.com
