Success Profile: Gradified (“Max”)
Breed: Paint
Age: 14
Discipline: Barrel Racing
Owner: Cheyenne Searsey
I grew up around horses and we went to a lot of rodeos. I was always fascinated by barrel racing, so for my 16th birthday, I got a barrel horse instead of a car. I caught the barrel racing bug and haven’t stopped since! Gradified, who goes by Max in the barn, enjoys trail riding, but barrel racing is by far his favorite. He’s a phenomenal horse and will do anything you ask him to. In the past, Max struggled with poor quality hooves and had a hard time holding shoes. My farrier recommended that we try getting a hoof supplement through SmartPak, so I started him on Farrier’s Formula Double Strength. Since he’s been on the formula, I’ve been happy with the quality of his hoof growth! As an added bonus, his coat looks great, too.
