Our view from the barn!

We departed on January 18 for the HITS Thermal Circuit in California! We are excited to spend time on the west coast, and are looking forward to success! We are enjoying all our SmartPak and Back on Track products as well as Niagara Equissage, all helping our horses stay comfortable, functional, and maintaining their well-being. Thank you also to Ariat for some new show gear!

The first week of showing in California went great! Alex Ansteth and Talkin' Smak, owned by Hi Hollow Farm, had a blue ribbon day on January 25, along with a win in the First Year Green Conformation on

Thank you to Just Stitch It for our new custom embroidered stall curtains!

February 1! Great job!

Last week, Bernadette Mulliken was a class winner on Russian Hill in the High Adult Jumpers! Riding with us for the first half, Didi McKenzie had also earned class wins as well as Reserve Champion in the Adult Hunters.  Horse trials and sales, good friends and great weather sum up our enjoyable time in Thermal week II.

Tim, Colleen, Tom and Mandy with their favorite SmartPak representatives!

Tim and Colleen, as well as Mandy and Tom McCutcheon had a wonderful visit to the SmartPak headquarters in Plymouth, MA in January. The group had a great three days learning all about the SmartPak company and horse supplements. Tim says he was very impressed at how smooth the SmartPak company runs, and had a lot of fun seeing where his favorite supplements are manufactured!
