Dr. Cross
Though you may not know Dr Cross by name, he has saved hundreds of horses, mares and foals, who may have been exposed to infected fescue grass. His nutraceutical patent, Domperidone, has been a blessing to all horse lovers and saved countless lives. He was a blessing to horses and those who love them.
