We ended the day just the same as we began, on a tractor grooming arenas. 🚜

Dressage was wonderful with many beautiful rides and ended with a delicious competitors dinner sponsored by the incredible Coyote’s Southwestern Grill!

Now on to stadium and cross country tomorrow but first, a little shut eye. 😴💤

The arenas are ready, the course is set and the magic of getting to compete with your best friend is in full swing! 🌈

We’ve been a little quiet lately as we spend all waking moments ensuring all is set, prepped and fabulous for you. That said, we couldn’t do any of this without the incredible team of generous, selfless individuals that come together to make the Tomora Horse Trials possible.

When you see the NoCo Aesthetics banner at the dressage arenas, take note that they specialize in advanced, results-driven skin rejuvenation, laser treatments, and permanent makeup. As horse people, we’re all outside in 103°, 8” of snow, -12° and the fun Colorado wind storms. Treat yourself and let NoCo Aesthetics in Loveland wrap up your show season in the best way!

Did you know that “certain amino acids, such as lysine, threonine and methionine, are significant components of muscle protein and are essential for muscle growth, development and repair. They are considered essential, as horses cannot make them, and they must be supplied through the diet” (1)?

Pretty good to know, right?

Wanna know something else? Feeders Supply and Purina can keep your beloved equine in tip top shape no matter what level or exercise program they are in (we’re big fans of horsey jazzercise ourselves).

We’re so grateful for their supply of gift cards for placings at the Tomora Horse Trials! So no excuse to not check them out!

Merriam-Webster defines community as: the people with common interests living in a particular area.

How do we as the Tomora Horse Trials team define community?
We think community is when incredibly kind and generous people step in to help others who are trying to help another community. Circle inside circles intersecting circles? Yeah, it’s as clear as mud for sure.

Let us clear it up. We have 40 stalls on site for the horse trials but we needed more like 100. In come our knights in shining armor at Hutchinson Western and Murdoch’s to supply 54 (!!!!) additional stalls.

When we say we couldn’t do it without Hutchinson Western and Murdoch’s in our community, we really mean it so one more time for those in the back…

WE COULDN’T HOUSE ALL YOUR LOVELY PONIES, HONIES AND HORSES WITHOUT HUTCHINSON WESTERN AND MURDOCH’S!

How can you be part of the community? Support them with all your horse and outdoor needs. They can supply whatever you need so definitely hit them up and be part of this rockin’ community!
