Soren Z y kasey saliendo triunfadores!! El estar al cuidado de tan hermosos animales nos hace sentir orgullosos de ver que salen victoriosos de la pista de competencia. Ala vez la persona que va junto al animal tiene la mayoria del credito por conducir al par para competir con el corazon y asi mismo los dos salir con la satisfaccion de saber que lo lograron. Es una sensacion inexplicable que me hizo casi gritar de la emocion. Gracias a este par por dejarme ser parte de este gran logro. #horseofinstagram #coloradohorsepark #winners_of_grandprix

This week's #SundayBest grooming tip is from Erin Gordon and her Appendix Quarter Horse, Dallas. "First you want to brush them all off and get all of the dirt off. Then you use Vetrolin Shine and spray that all over and let it dry for a few minutes, then brush the horse with a soft brush. Then spray Healthy HairCare (the pink stuff) all over their body, let that dry, then use a super-soft brush and you brush the whole horse again." According to Erin, if you follow those steps, your horse be glistening and soft, but not too slippery to ride. Thanks for the great tip, Erin! #ColoradoHorsePark #SIR2018
