We get this from Tractor Supply, and have it delivered monthly. It is ALWAYS out in our store, so we found this is the best way to ensure we always have it on hand. Our horses LOVE this stuff and since starting them on it, we've had a reduction in ul...

This is a staple for us to help reduce the incidence of ulcers. One of our horses recently had surgery, and was on stall rest for 90 days. She is only 5, and is very marish and active, so I'm sure you can imagine the struggles we had. When she starte...

This stuff is AMAZING. We have seen so much mane and tail growth since we started using it, and all skin issues that our horses had been experiencing prior to using it have disappeared. Their coats are super shiny, their skin is healthy, and they are...

We installed this grid system to manage the water that typically pools at the edge of the barn roof into the turnout areas at the back of our stalls. We were able to install it in the back of 4 stalls in one weekend. We rented a compactor and followe...

Kensington is our “go to” brand of fly sheets. We have tried so many, but they seem to last much longer than the others. The cost up front may seem like more, but if you factor in longevity, we've found that they're well worth it! We also recommend t...

These supplements are part of our daily routine, and we have seen a huge decrease in joint issues since we started our horses on Joint-Flex. Because we are a show barn, our horses can be under stress when travelling - long hours in the trailer, sleep...

We use this when grooming our horses to help them work the small muscles that help them balance. It takes some time to get them used to standing on it, but once they figure it out, it's a great tool particularly when rehabilitating an injury. The lar...

Our horses love their peppermints! We feed these sparingly to keep their sugars regulated, but these are definitely their favorites. We also feed them fresh carrots and apples as treats, as well as other enriched horse treats.
The barn favorite treat!

We used this company to build our arena and barn panels. They were super easy to work with and their prices were competitive. Small business = yay!

You really can't have enough water buckets on hand - they have SO many uses. We have a different am and pm feeding routine, so we use buckets for the pm and rubber pans for the am. The buckets make it easier to soak pellets and add in supplements. We...

We always keep this stuff on hand. During hot temps or heavy training, we add a scoop directly to pellets/grain as a supplement. We also offer water with a scoop in addition to plain water when temps approach 100 degrees. Horses in hard work need tho...

The majority of our show pads are from Saguro. The color and pattern selection is really broad, so we always find something that we can't live without. My daughter tends to prefer the brighter color schemes to help her dark liver chestnut stand out i...

This stand has been a must have when travelling to shows where we have horses in a barn and need to create a pop up tack room in a stall. It's lightweight, easy to take apart for travel, and assemble for use. It holds your saddle and your pads, and h...

My daughter loves showing in these jeans as they are super comfortable and work if she's barrel racing or if she's showing in ranch riding.
