Members and Fellow Enthusiasts,
 
Below you will find the latest release of videos. As always we hope you find them helpful in application to your own education and ride.

I am also very pleased to announce our newest permanently featured trainer and rider, someone close to America's heart...Debbie McDonald! Debbie and the much adored Brentina, have helped the US equestrian team win a team silver and team bronze at the World Equestrian games and a team bronze at the 2004 Olympics. In 2003, Brentina helped Debbie to become the first American rider to win the World Cup championship. They also came in third place at the 2005 World Cup. Brentina herself was named the 2005 Farnam/Platform USEF Horse of the Year. Please tune in next month to watch Debbie as she works with a few of her students and talks with us about her career and what is next for her, straight from River Grove Farm!

Tried and True Product Review (What is this?):

Tuffrock Poultice

Tuffrock PoulticeI used this product to help heal and protect a wound my horse had above his pastern which he got from playing in turn out. It was about 2" long, 1/4" wide and deep. He seems to get these alot. So, I needed to really start ensuring proud flesh didn't develop. I applied this regularly and in about 2 weeks the cut was completely gone, no raise, hair almost completely grown over it, and now 4 weeks later, no visibility whatsoever. I must say that I am very pleased! Thank you Tuffrock! Your product rocks!

Grand Meadows

I had my 4 year old on this product and I feel confident using grand meadows completeit that he is getting all of his vitamins and nutritional needs covered. The most noticeable thing, was that his hoofs suddenly got much harder and stronger. During the winter, he often stood in wet stall and wet mud, and in general there was a ton of dampness everywhere. The hoof walls began to be softer than usual and there was peeling . Since using the Grand Meadows, I notice a big change. Now I am more apt to focus on simply applying a hoof conditioner to keep them as nice as they are, rather than worrying about them, or constantly considering how to now add additional moisture to the hoof area.
