Barn of the Month – Sunset Hill Farm
My name is Anne Vogel and my daughter rides and boards with Sunset Hill Farm. I myself am their Marketing Manager, planning their clinics and local advertising. Through the past year, this farm has taught all of us so much! New England gets the most ridiculous storms, and of course, our farm in Redding always seems to get hit the hardest…

Success Stories
Meet Katherine and Strata
Strata and I compete at the highest level of AKC agility competition and spend many of our weekends traveling to trials across the northeast. Canine SmartPaks make life easier when feeding Strata away from home. Instead of packing baggies of supplements right before a trial, I just keep a couple of Canine SmartPaks in my travel bag. It’s one less thing for me to worry about!

Picture This: Spring Catalog Photo Shoot, Part 1
Photo shoots are one of the hardest and most rewarding parts of being on the Creative team. It takes weeks of organization, hours of on-site prep work, and a whole lot of luck to get just the right shots. But with our outstanding, enthusiastic photo shoot team, we’re able to pull it off in spades and still find time to enjoy some much-needed sunshine. Plus, we love getting to spend more time with the best four-legged models in the business.
Tail Chewing in Youngsters
I have about 15 young horses (a mix of weanlings and yearlings) turned out together. They have a large turnout area, but there isn’t much grass, so we provide them with free choice hay from a hay bunker (an alfalfa/grass mix). They also receive fortified grain and have access to salt/mineral blocks. We’ve been breeding horses for many years, and for some reason over the past year we’ve started to have a problem with some of these young horses chewing each other’s tails off…
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Julie Stewart Tucei
What a beautiful head carriage. To be honest, I would have liked to have seen the entire costume. I like how well you have him moving forward…that is a well established trot. Unless it is standard in these classes, you carry your hands flat….like you are playing the piano.
Nephrosplenic Entrapment as a Cause of Colic
My gelding recently had a nephrosplenic entrapment. Treated successfully with rolling. What can be done to prevent this? Are there any early warning signs that I may have missed? How often does this recur? DG, Pennsylvania
