Dougie Does Gymnastics!

We've been jumping Dougie over small fences at home and he has been cross country schooling twice now, but since he struggles a bit with his coordination we figured it was time to introduce some simple gymnastics into his program.  While he is not the most talented horse in the world, he really tries his heart out and is starting to love his job!  I just love him and he will be a great partner for Scott.  Here are a few videos of his gymnastics yesterday:

Welcome New Sponsor Southern States!!!

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce our new sponsor, Southern States!  If you're not familiar with the company feel free to contact me for information about the large selection of high quality feeds they offer including Triple Crown, Legends, and their own Southern States brand.  I have been feeding these products for about 4yrs and they are all wonderful!  They offer a selection of feed to suit horses in any stage of life or workload, with several feeds designed to target specific needs or problems that your horse may have.  I currently have Snoopy on Triple Crown Complete, which is a high fat and fiber feed designed to meet the energy demands of rigorous competition.  He is very ulcer-prone and the high fiber content helps me to mange that issue in particular.  He feels great and looks like a million bucks!  Our older QH is on the Triple Crown Low Starch feed, as his age and breed make him prone to things such as founder and Cushing's Disease.  He's doing much better with his weight now and I attribute that to switching him to this  feed last year.  The other horses are on SS Triple 10, which is a high quality, high fat and fiber feed to keep them looking and feeling great.  There is no other comparable feed to the Triple 10 in this area, and is priced VERY competitively!  Feel free to contact me, visit your local store, or the Southern States website for more information.

Be a Part of the Journey!

As the cost of developing Snoopy into a top level competitor grows more by the day, I will no longer be able to manage it on my own.  I have set up an easy way for anyone interested in helping us reach our goals to do so via Paypal on my website at www.starfireeventing.com.

Welcome Rupert!

Welcome 5yr old, 16.3h OTTB, Rupert!  He is our third acquisition from trainer Doug Cowans, Snoopy and M&M's former race trainer, and looks to be just as nice as those two!!   Many thanks to Doug and previous owner Craig Beam for allowing us to bring Rupert home to a new career!!

If that's not the body of a jumping machine I don't know what is!  Hopefully he takes to his new career!
