Haygain
Haygain has been an incredible part of my program for a long time! The benefits that it brings to the horses’ respiratory health are outstanding! The steamed hay helps to reduce dust and bacteria, ensuring that my equine partners have cleaner forage and breathe easier. It’s a game-changer for their well-being and performance.
We couple this with our Manna Pro Horse supplements that are fantastic for supporting the horses’ nutrition and health. The combination of top-notch forage from HayGain and quality supplements from MannaPro makes a real difference in their overall vitality and performance. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

MDHT Starter Trials
Team SSB had a solid showing at the MDHT Starter Trials. I was in the saddle riding Peter Foley’s Boston and secured a commendable 6th place in Training-B. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness Boston’s progress and increasing confidence at every event, especially as we work towards moving up the levels in this sport.
In addition, huge congratulations to student Vera Fontana, who achieved an impressive 2nd place in Introductory-A with Olympiad. It’s great to see the hard work paying off!

This past weekend Brooke Burchianti and Cooley Space Grey put in some hard work at the Maryland 5 Star! I am so proud of this team! They finished top 20 in the CCI3-L and top 20 in the USEF National CCI3-L Championships!
Erin Murphy deserves a special mention for her remarkable achievement at Morven Park International two weekends ago. Riding Colleen McCarthy’s Jackson Maine, Erin secured a well-deserved 2nd place in the Open-Preliminary-A category.
And the riders out at the MDHT Fall Starter Horse Trials #1 also rode beautifully! Brittany Hebets Miller, riding Rosie, clinched a notable 2nd place in Beginner Novice-A and continued her success by securing another 2nd place in Beginner Novice-B, this time riding Stormtrooper. Vera Fontana excelled in the Introductory Combined Test, riding Olympiad to a stunning victory.

MicrocynAH
We are loving the MicrocynAH from Manna Pro Horse not just for the horses, but the dogs too! It’s fast acting on small cuts and scrapes, and it’s non-toxic so we don’t have to worry about watching the dogs after applying, and it’s so easy to use!
