Rita Schnitzler is taking a break
from training and is working for Elec Western Medical Devices pro- moting and selling the Centurion products which offer magnetic field and Laser therapy for horses. Rita says she is very familiar with the products which she herself used with her horses at the racetrack. So far she has travelled to Arizona, New York, California, Florida and Ohio and says that her new job is a nice transition because she is still around horses.
The Centurion products have been around for 35 years and new prod-
ucts which are being developed by the company keep the business exciting for Rita who admitted that she needed to get away from the stresses of the horseracing business,“I’m getting older and wanted to try something new.”
