Each Receive a One Year Supply of Vetrolin® Products

Judges at this year’s American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) National Championships, held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, were challenged to choose the best groomed miniature horse in each of the two divisions to receive the Vetrolin Grooming Award.

Lisa Davis and Bob Wagner were selected as this year’s winners of the Vetrolin Grooming Award. Davis accepted the award for Magic Man's Grand Slam, her “A” sized miniature horse and Wagner for his “B” sized miniature, SMHC’s Freedom’s Totally Fabulous, who was groomed by daughter Katy Wagner. Davis and Wagner will each receive a one year supply of Vetrolin® grooming products from Farnam Horse Products.

“Because the AMHR National show is over 5,000 entries strong,” explained Johnny Robb, Marketing Director for the AMHR, “Farnam generously opted to give two Vetrolin Grooming Awards this year — one for “A” size miniature horses, 34-inches and under and one for “B” size miniatures, 38-inches and under.”

Receiving the Vetrolin Grooming Award was an unanticipated honor for both Davis and Wagner. Both contestants clearly deserved to win this prestigious award, and were heralded by an approving audience. Winning a one-year supply of Vetrolin grooming products will help keep their handsome miniatures looking their best throughout the year.

The Vetrolin “spa” experience that awaits the winning miniatures of this year’s National Championship Show is likely to be one they will never forget. Farnam’s Vetrolin line of equine grooming products remains an unparalleled experience for both horse and owner. The Vetrolin bath, conditioner, detangler, and shine are just some of the products that are designed to have your horse looking like a winner every time he steps out of the barn. When a horse’s coat is healthy and shiny, it is a credit to the owner, that they are using the finest products to benefit their animals. Farnam backs this credit with grooming products the professional horseman wants to have in his barn and especially at a show.

In a continuing commitment to small equines, Farnam donates a one-year supply of grooming products to the AMHR and the American Shetland Pony Club at their yearly championship shows. In 2006, Farnam introduced their highly successful Platform® Miniature Horse and Pony Feed. In 2007, Farnam introduced their first SuperMask® for Miniature Horses followed by two additional size/styles this year. In combination with being the largest marketer of equine products in the United States, Farnam has been a recognized name in animal health care for more than 60 years.

This year, the AMHR National Championship Show to determine the nation’s top miniature horses was held the first week in September in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With more than 300 classes for horsemen to enter throughout the day and evening, contestants were in a whirlwind of activity during the entire week. Over $50,000 in cash and prizes in championship and futurity classes kept the competition keen and eager. Halter, driving, jumping, costume and youth classes had the audience sitting on the edge of their seats, anticipating their favorites receiving awards and blue ribbons.
