Sending the biggest CONGRATULATIONS to Shannon Rafacz and “Ted” No Solution Required on returning home as L4 Open Derby Champions of the SERHA Carolina Classic this past weekend for new owner Valerie Sturgeon! 👏🏆

Their performance also earned them T-Reserve in the Level 2 Open Derby and the T-Reserve in the Intermediate Open Class. 🤠

As a breeder—and owner/rider—you always get excited to do well on a horse that comes from your homebred program—but nothing beats getting to watch others go on to shine on one you bred, raised, trained and had success on!

Congrats to Shannon and the entire Rafacz Reining team—We can’t wait to cheer on “Ted” and Valerie as she takes the reins next month! 😃

Celebrating a very “Happy” Happy Birthday today! To one of—ok probably THE BEST—breeding managers in the business—thank you for all that you do, Happy! Grateful to have you on the team—and the mares and babies are too. 🎉😉🍾

They even finished up foaling season just so you could get a full night of sleep on your birthday! 😎

We had a good time having Justin and Ryan with out to the ranch for an afternoon last week!

Gina’s been a fan of their Shoulder Relief Cinches for nearly 3 years now—purchasing several to try and use prior to working with them directly—and they are now the only cinches she uses on her horses.

Thanks for coming out, and thank you for creating an incredible product designed to support and work WITH our equine athletes. 😎

Also, check out the custom logo they added for us!
