About HorseTech:
‘Back in 1999, we started making HorseTech supplements in a small office with a manually-powered mixer. We were about as small as a small company could possibly be. Every product was hand weighed, hand packaged and shipped the day that it was made along with a bag of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies and a hand-written “thank you” on the box. Today, we’re quite a bit bigger, but we’re still family owned and we still think of ourselves as small-in a humble sort of way. To this day you still get supplements made by us, just in a bigger mixer, you still get your bag of cookies and you still get that nice hand-written “thank you” on your box!
HorseTech is located in Laurens, Iowa. A small town in Northwest Iowa. We pride ourselves on our awesome supplements and our amazing service! When you call us, you will not get an automated voice menu, you will get one of our friendly customer care specialists right from the start! If for some reason you find yourself not 100% satisfied with our product we offer a 100% money back guarantee. Our customers also love our FREE SHIPPING!’
HorseTech is an audited Charter Member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC)

We would like to introduce our next show sponsor to you:
Equiderma & Barn Dog

'revolutionary equine products for people that love their horse. EQUINE PRODUCTS FOR ANY SKIN CONDITION.
As riders that live in a state where the conditions are always changing, this stuff is a must have.
Fun fact, when we asked them for consideration of some prizes, they responded with : here is a credit to our online store, please pick what you think your riders would enjoy the most. How thoughtful is that? We picked a little bit of everything from shampoo to treatments and what I think is our favorite, the Neem Spray. It smells like actual herbal heaven.
Equiderma products are carefully formulated for any horse skin condition, providing targeted care and relief.An all natural formula backed by the power of neem leaf and oil, aloe gel, citronella, eucalyptus, tea tree, lemongrass, lemon peel, and lavender. It smells great and will never leave a greasy, oily residue. Use it with confidence for yourself and your horse.
We are so grateful to Equiderma for their support and hope others check them out (don't have a horse? They have other pet related products as well!)

Hey horse friends! We have an amazing long weekend in September for our The Dr Edwin And Jean Deer Mackinac Island Memorial Horse Show!
We had two outside riders unfortunately have to cancel and we are hoping to sell their spots so we can refund them.
This is an amazing opportunity to take your horse on the island for a whole weekend of fun!
Thursday -optional- haul to Mackinaw city and board for the night on the mainland.
Friday AM- horses leave from St Ignace with passengers to the island.
Horses stay at the Mackinac Community Equestrian Center, stall or pasture board available.

Please check their link for island requirements /rules.

Friday, see the island, trail ride or just relax.
Saturday- mixed discipline fun show with custom rosettes and medals. Enjoy a BBQ dinner at the facility.
Sunday. Riders will go in groups with a guide and travel the islands trails and roads for a scavenger hunt. See the tourist attractions and some of the island hidden gems. Take photos and activities for points. Once you're done, we have a pizza party and an amazing spread of prizes points can be redeemed for.
Sunday AM, we haul back to the mainland.
We have everything organized for you, from ferry to horse lodging, the show, the scavenger hunt trail ride and meals after both.
About the only thing you need to do is find your hotel.
There may even be an option to participate with a horse that is already on the island - please message for details on that.
I DO have a couple horses that could be leased for the weekend, but we are out of trucks and trailers to haul up there so you would need to arrange that separately.
