WF Young & Absorbine Jr.

Hey all. It has been incredibly busy here in Sterling. We have been traveling a lot with the horses and trying to keep up with the demand. Tommie was in Bellvue, IA for the PRCA Rodeo. It was a wet and muddy weekend, but the show went on thanks to the great broncs and bulls by Three Hills Rodeo Company. Tommie really enjoys performing with rodeo announcer, Roger Mooney. He is one of the best in the business, announcing non-stop and always with colorful commentary and energy. We have been filming our video series, putting together a full schedule of shows, and working on new projects. This past weekend we trekked the horses to Longmeadow, MA, for a private show with WF Young. They are the company that makes Absorbine Jr. and lots of horse products you would know like "ShowSheen" and "SuperPoo". Tommie was featured on a commercial for them. After seeing Tommie perform and keeping with the horse tradition, it was a perfect match. When two companies get together and believe in each others products, it is a great relationship. We have always used Absorbine Equine Products and with our daily routine are big fans of Absorbine muscle relief. The Pain relief patches are great when traveling the 1000 miles each way in a truck. It really helps keep the stiff muscles and stiff necks at bay. We got a tour of the WF Young compound and met all the wonderful people there. Then we performed a show on Friday for their friends and families outdoors. Fantastic turn out and response. We hope it showed everyone there how much we strive to be a fun family oriented show that is truly memorable. Everyone had seen the Absorbine commercial since they started running it in the Springfield Media Market. The President, Tyler Young told us that sales are up 50% and Tommie is now seen in over 1 million homes and 25% of the US markets. We are putting together a lot of future projects for them and are looking forward to a long relationship. On Saturday, we got to perform at the Stoneleigh Burnam School in Greenfield, MA. They are a private equestrian school for girls. We did demos for the children of a group, YPO. They were all eager to learn and watch us have fun with horses. The facility was very accommodating. Thanks to Susan and Todd. We also got the chance to see my husbands mom and dad and sister while we were there too. It was nice to see his dad for Fathers Day. Many thanks to everyone at WF Young and the YPO. It was a memorable and exciting weekend. It is good to be back home, only to leave for Cooks Forest Trail Ride in PA this weekend. Well, this is what we do. Tommie's birthday is tomorrow, so time to take a day off and enjoy some sushi with friends.

Ride Fast... Take Chances!
