Rhonda started her career at Farnam in 1984 and has held several positions. Currently, Rhonda is the Tradeshow Manager. She has competed in rodeos since she was 9, and actively does barrel racing and recently began mounted shooting! Apple is her 14-year-old Quarter Horse mare for barrels, and Sparky is a 12-year-old AQHA mare for shooting.
My favorite product is the Quietex II Focusing & Calming Pellets and Paste. My mare, Sparky, gets pretty amped up at a mounted shooting competition with all the music, loudspeakers and shooting going on. I start feeding her Quietex pellets a few days before the event and give her the paste the morning of the shoot to keep her relaxed and less nervous all day. The calmer she runs, the better I can aim!
Both of my competitive horses get Next Level Performance Equine Joint Pellets daily. They are both aged mares that get ridden and worked a lot. I want to make sure they feel their best on competition day.
