Masks, hoods, scrim sheets (blankets) are all used to combat flies. Flies love to swarm to equine eyes and congregate, basking in their eye liquid. It is a nuisance for horses and this is why you see them tossing their heads while out to pasture, trying to clear their face/eyes of flies. Flies are not only pesky, but they also transmit diseases.

Many years ago, back in the 80's we first started seeing fly protection. Farnam perfected the Super Mask, a transparent plastic mesh,…

I know that many of your are working and going to school, so we're not putting loads of pressure on you with this fun show. It's more of an excuse for us parents to all get together and have a great fun day. Yes, I am a parent now. :)

Who would prefer jumping?

Who would prefer games?

There is no reason we can't run both together!

This is meant to be fun and a learning experience.. not to mention a great big get-to-gether for parents and…

Will come and pick up.

Our ponies and very young jockeys need a forgiving racetrack/speedway rail.

Hi everyone,



It's in the past, but I am tired of writing it individually, so I will go public with this already very well known bit of information.



August 26, 2006: Orion and I jumped a massive double oxer- highest I have ever gone, at 4'+! Business was booming with 14 horses stabled, and I had the sound of childrens' laughter day in and day out. That glee would stop this day..
