"For 15 years I have been very fortunate and proud to be associated with Equus Now! ! For the first 5 years, as a sales rep for a supplier, I saw an amazing thing. I saw a young Rose Tremmel take the equestrian industry by the horns and create a totally different way to sell tack and apparel. It was indeed, " Tack for the 21st Century". As a supplier, we had never seen an account take off like a rocket, the way Equus Now! had. In just five short years, Equus Now! had become my number one account by doubling their sales each and every year! Hard to do in any economy! So, it was time to check out what really was going on in Columbus, OH, and I jumped on board the Equus Now! rocket ship. Ten years ago, I moved out to Columbus from New Jersey. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I knew I had made the right decision. I learned the philosophy behind the business and that was excellent customer service, the type that is so rare today, the type that I believe in. In the ten years I have been here, I've seen this business continue to grow and I can't say enough, that I am proud to be a part of it. And it's all because of you, Rosemary Staeck. You have proved that there can be good, caring, and knowledgable customer service on the internet as well as in the store. And you continue to bring change to this industry by creating formulas and guidelines that are new and fresh, and everyone can follow. Bravo on your first 15 years! Thank you, Rose, for your wonderful, ingenious, creation, which comes from the heart, and that is Equus Now! !
Cheers to the next 15!!!!"

"Equus Now! is not just a tack shop, they're an enthusiastic and active participant in the central Ohio equestrian community. Equus Now! supports community projects like the New Albany Classic Invitational Grand Prix & Family Day, sponsors classes at shows and advises countless parents and riders on equipment, apparel, safety and care. They are an important advocate for our sport and should be celebrated for all that they do. Congratulations, Equus Now!" Lisa Hinson

"Congratulations to 15 years in business! Three years ago I was fortunate enough to adopt my first OTTB and discover Equus Now. Being a first time equine owner I had several questions regarding the array of products they carry. The entire Equus Now staff are very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. The consignment shop always has new items coming in so you never know what great things you may find! I shop there at least a few times a month. Katie's always answering my western questions and Jen just helped fit me for an english saddle. I just can't say enough good things about this wonderful store and staff! Keep up the great work!"

"I can't believe it's been 15 years!! I am so happy and proud to have been a part of the Equus Now team when you first moved to the Columbus location and wish I could have moved you with me to California! You provided all of us with an amazing tack shop with great prices and great products but most importantly you taught me how to take care of customers, and I know that's why you are so successful so many years later! The product knowledge, the passion for customer service, and the selection of products available are all exceptional and I wish we had something remotely as great out here on the west coast. You've raised the bar for tack shops; I make it a point to come and shop and see everyone there every single time I come back to Ohio. May the next 15 years be just as amazing!"

"It's been about 3 years ago now that I made my first trip up to Columbus to Equus Now! Since then they have become my go to tack store for ALL my riding needs. Rose and the girls know Memphis and I on a first name basis and are ALWAYS available to help us select the best products to suit our needs. Equus Now! is not just a tack store, they have always offered words of encouragement and support to Memphis and I throughout our competition season and have made sure we are totally equipped for each competition. Last year, Memphis and I traveled to Kentucky for our first ever horse trial at the park - Rose had ordered a new event vest for me as my old one was faulty - when the manufacturer delayed getting us our vest in time - Jen had a vest shipped DIRECTLY TO MY HOTEL! It was there and waiting on me upon arrival!! They also sent another one down with a friend, JUST IN CASE the one shipped to the hotel didn't make it. THAT is customer service and THAT is why I keep going back and will continue to refer ALL my horse friends to Equus Now!" Tracy D. McPherson

"If you look at the picture, you'll see happy smiling riders, some still dressed in show clothes. What onlookers don't see is the time, effort and expense that went into getting all these riders "the perfect fit" at "the best price". Thank you Rose and Jen of Equus Now! for your attention to details, my details. I am confident I can send a rider to Equus Now! and they will be treated with respect and care given to my preferences when it comes to show attire. When my IEA team West Licking District or our clients from The Paddock Stables arrives at a show, I am confident they have "the look" because they shopped at Equus Now!."
With much appreciation,
Nancy Arledge - The Paddock Stables &

"Equus Now! was a "breath of fresh air" for us at Bookmark Farms when they moved to the central Ohio area in 2002. In addition to their wonderful products carried in the store and on the Internet, Rose, Jenn and the rest of the Equus Now team are always helpful, knowledgeable, and innovative. All of us who work here, as well as our customers and clients, benefit from their expertise and the wonderful selection of horse and rider products. For students and horse owners of all ages, proper selection of clothing, footwear, tack, and horse care products are so important. That's why when all of us here at Bookmark Farms say "Go to Equus Now!" we are confident that all will be taken care of! We congratulate Equus Now! on their 15 year anniversary and know there will be many more!"

"Rose and her staff have been amazing over the past 15 years, for not only me but my clients . Equus Now! has been keeping their horses supplied with everything from saddles to grazing muzzles. Equus Now! is my go to place to send them for whatever their ailing horse may need - great friendly, fast service. We are so lucky to have them right here in Columbus!"

"Equus Now! not only offers friendly, knowledgeable, and outstanding customer service, but extends their core values of excellence beyond the store. Whether promoting our sport at shows or elsewhere, I have always seen the love of horses and riding at the heart of the business. This makes them unique in an age where quality customer service seems to be a lost art and others fall short to create a personal shopping experience. Whenever I see Rose, Jen, Kathryn or others going that extra mile to create and capture value for our equestrian community, I feel very proud that we have something others lack. Other places can offer similar high quality products but it's the smile I leave with that the competitors can't put a price on and match."

"As a returning rider whose formative period was the late 1960's working ranches in Colorado, I had many challenges getting "back in the saddle". But it was all easy thanks to the great advice and service at Equus Now. Rose, Jenn and the rest of the team made my transition from busting cows to riding my thoroughbred Lyle at the Rocky Fork Headley Hunt as smooth as clearing a coop! The tack we selected and the saddle fitting process were perfect. I continue to get compliments on how great my guy looks when we head out." Dennis Brandon

"I am so blessed that your store was here when my Megan decided horses were her thing. I had no idea what I was getting into but you helped me keep her and her ponies and horses looking great and winning ribbons for 15 years! Your expertise and guidance have been invaluable. Thanks for everything and Happy Anniversary my friend!" Mindy Roland

"My mom already wrote one, but I wanted to too because I love you guys... Anyway, I've been riding for fifteen years now, so Equus Now! has always been a part of my life. I love shopping there because every time I go in I get to see either Rose or Jen (or both!) and they always give me a
hug, which is the best ever. Also, although I've been riding for so long, I still have a lot of dumb questions and everyone there is always really good at answering them so, thanks for that. The consignment shop is also great, I've found so many incredible deals in there, its not even fair. I love you guys so much, keep doing what your doing." Love, Megan Bolte (and Folly)

"At Liberty Farm, we are thankful that we have a wonderful tack shop like Equus Now! in our area. It is reassuring to know that we can send our customers there for anything from bits to boots and breeches to blankets, and be satisfied with the product they return with. Equus Now! is reasonably priced and well stocked with quality equestrian items. They are sure to fit helmets, boots, and everything in between to the rider correctly, guaranteeing their safety and comfort from head to toe while in the saddle. If ever they do not have what we need in stock, they have always placed prompt orders for the items and have contacted us immediately once they are in. Thank you, Equus Now! for serving Liberty Farm & its riders for the past 15 years!

"There are too many wonderful memories and WAY too much knowledge gained to try to list here. In honor of such an amazing anniversary, I would rather share my pride in having been a small part of this hugely special company. I am so happy to say that I was once a part of this team, and blessed to know that I am always a part of the family. Not too long ago, I was speaking with the owner of a then new tack store. When I shared with her that I had once worked at Equus Now!, she responded by telling me that Rosemary was her hero . It feels good to have been trained by the best. Keep up the good work, my friends- and a million thanks for all you do!!!!!
Love you!" Laura Stockhaus

"Happy 15th Anniversary to Equus Now! When thinking of writing a testimonial, I was wondering how on earth I was going to condense everything I wanted to say. I remember when Equus Now! moved to Columbus, Ohio! I was thrilled that there was finally a tack store in our area! With three daughters that were riding, I needed lots of things and at great prices! I found that at Equus Now! Meeting Rose f or the first time was like meeting a long lost sibling and in fact, all three of my daughters call and refer to her as Aunt Rose to this day! At the time Emily was 10, Sarah 7 and Lizzie 5. I appreciated Rose and her staffs honesty and their knowledge of their products! One day joking I said, "I should do something horse related to sell" and Rose said, "make some horse treats and I'll sell them!" That's when Stikky Likky Horse Treats were created! Rose was such a huge supporter of our adventure and encouraged success in everyone! We did the horse treats for several years and I look back on that time fondly! 
Fast forward a few years, we moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan and I continued to order from Equus Now! In fact, I placed an order last week for some breeches to be sent to Ocala, Florida for Sarah! Equus Now has always stayed competitive with their prices and as a family with three riders, I have always appreciated that!
Fast forward to today:
Emily is a Senior at the University of Georgia and on the Equestrian Team. She will be graduating with a major in Fashion Merchandising and a Minor in Product Development.
Sarah is a Freshman at the University of Michigan with an interest in pre-med. Sarah still competes in Jr Jumpe rs and Jr Hunters.
Lizzie is a junior in High School and is currently showing in Jr Jumpers, Equitation and Jr Hunters.
Congratulations on 15 years and here's to 15 more! Thank you for your many years of friendship!"
