| * * * I am wonderfully surprised by your customer service. It is so refreshing to have a personal encounter, when most business today seem to not care. I am completely amazed and very gratefully for your outstanding attention to my need. Thank you, I will definitely buying from many times in the future!! Happy Holidays! Taylor D. * * * Thank YOU for your excellent service! And thank you for the free curry; I like it a lot (as do my horses!) What a breath of fresh air to receive such personalized customer service! Pat A. * * * Thank you for your prompt response and shipping. I also had the nice surprise of the grooming tool. I appreciate the effort you made by going the extra mile. I will certainly look to you first for future purchases and recommend you to others. Thanks again and best wishes for success..... Ariane R. * * * Karen! The (Vogue) saddle is perfect! Beautiful! Wonderful! Feels great! This one fits me soooooo much better than the last. And I adore the Smart Panel underneath it.... So much less bouncy. No problems with fitting my horse either! Jayme * * * Just wanted you to know that the Busy Buffet Feeder is the most amazing thing I have ever bought for my horse. As mentioned in your advertisement, he would rather eat from it than the traditional way on the floor of his stall. Honestly, I feel sorry for all the other horses at the facility I board at that they don't have one. I feel it would be of tremendous help, especially to anxious horses who paw and kick the stall when they are hungry and or bored. My guy is so much more calm and content now, almost like a pacifier for a baby!! So glad I found out about this product. It was a complete fluke as someone posted your website on the Ultimate Dressage Forum. Thank you so much. Also your service is amazing. More companies should follow your lead! It has been a pleasure to deal with you and I will definitely continue. Your products are innovative. Karyn M. * * * All I can say is "WOW"! I could not have survived Pony Club camp without the Cool MedicsVest and I was definitely the envy of all there. If I had known how truly awesome it would turn out to be, I would have ordered 20 of them and sold them on the spot, there. While everyone else was wilting, I was cool and breezy. I am really fair skinned and sensitive to the heat and I am never going on another trail ride this summer without my vest! I love the back of the neck protection, as well. I have an interesting story for you, as well. One of the instructors told me that her mother has a Cool Medics Vest and was out jumping on a hot day with a freshly charged vest. She got thrown and the horse ended up stepping on her back. The vest had a huge horse footprint on it and a bunch of burst stitching, but she was hardly bruised! The gel in the vest acted as an impact absorber for her. I know that that's not their intended use but what a fabulous side benefit. Not only am I cool while I'm out riding in this darned heat but, if I should take a tumble, it offers a little extra protection. I think my friend Deborah is going to order one for herself, as well. We just got back from a ride and she was boiling hot and miserable while I was totally comfortable and cool. Thank you so much! Betsy * * * I just got my Busy Buffet this week and my horse loves it! Thank you SOOOO much for such quick shipping too! Also, the horse cookies and scented soap were so thoughtful - I can tell you love your clients! I look forward to being a regular customer - I'm VERY impressed! ThankYOU!! Lynn B. * * * Hi! Thank you so much for the update. I really appreciate it. It means so much to keep in touch with customers especially when an item is ordered. Loraine M. * * * I just love my Vogue Dressage saddle!!! I’m so comfortable for the first time. I have had so many saddle and I can’t believe how bad a fit they were for me. My mare loves the saddle too, she is really rounding up and responding so well to my aids. I can really feel her back, even way more than with the Ansur. I think it’s because there is a gullet, I can feel her back lift from side to side. I never really had that feeling with the Ansur, maybe because it was just flat across her back…not sure, but don’t care anymore I’m so glad I have the Vogue and thank you for all your help. Thanks again, Marlene * * * The EE SBS cover came today and it is FANTASTIC! Thanks for shipping it so fast. I just sold my SBS saddle and I miss the softness, I just needed more support. I tried two other treeless plus the newer Moffett, and danged if I am one of those weird short thick legged peeps that just can't ride treeless. So this is a fantastic way to make a regular saddle tolerable. Don't make a special order just for the elastic curb for me. But next time you place an order get one of those and drop me an email. I'd love to have one, but no hurry. And thank you for the curry brush. I have one in the barn and LOVE it. I've thought about getting another to have in the trailer, now I do! A very nice surprise. Kellie R. * * * Thanks, Karen. Received everything and all is as expected. I’ll keep you posted on results. I have one quarter horse who is addicted to your salt. He won’t touch anything else. Funny guy. Donna * * * Thanks for your follow-up...Luke (my lame but adorable Friesian) really likes his buffet. It keeps him pre occupied during his re-hab and it makes a great play toy even when it's empty! Or is he begging!?!? Thank-you during this tough time...I feel like it is a great product and I made a good choice (if i do say so myself)! Your the best! Hugs, Carol & Luke * * * I love the 'Baretek' bareback pad! I had just started riding a new horse and I was having trouble at the canter. When I cantered to the left, I could not get the horse to pick up the correct lead. I was able to determine that I was tensing up my leg/seat muscles in a manner that told the horse to pick up the incorrect lead. With the Baretek pad I was able to practice cantering without the interference of stirrups. Without the stirrups I was able to relax my legs and guide the horse more evenly. We were able to pick up the left lead on the first try. I love riding bareback. It really helps me perfect my balance and improve my seat. I can’t wait to show the Baretek to everyone at my barn: http://www. hollyhillfarm.net/ . Now I just need to save up enough money for a Vogue saddle! Ann S. * * * I got the Thinline pad today and promptly used it. I have been worried that Missy’s saddle is pressing on a few spots and causing her some discomfort. She seemed much more comfortable today. Thanks for the quick turnaround and great customer service. I’m thinking about buying a seatbone saver for my western saddle too. However, I’ll have to wait until next month. I’ve already spent too much on horsey stuff this month! p.s. Missy (aka. Kaba Croixnoire) loved the treats you sent. Thank you, Barbara A. * * * I got my two new style Grande Busy Horse Feeders and I'm loving them! Wouldn't you know I had just purchased two of the Original Grande ones from their website a month or so ago (didn't realize you carried them). The New Grande ones with the smaller holes are AWESOME! It takes my horses over 3 hours to eat their two flakes of hay. I use the small size for lunch and hang them in several places around the pasture so that they have to walk around to eat them, and those take them quite a while to finish, as well, since I can pack them so tightly. As soon as I can afford it, I'm going to get another two of the new smaller hole Grande bags... With all of this rain and mud, keeping the horses busy is a big a benefit as slowing their eating down for their physical health. I also wanted to let you know that I really love my Back on Track saddle pad. It looks gorgeous and, on these colder days, my horse does seem to supple up more quickly. Keep up the good work! Betsy S. * * * The SBS Saddle Cover came today and it is FANTASTIC! Thanks for shipping it so fast. I just sold my SBS saddle and I miss the softness, I just needed more support.

Kellie R. * * * Hi Karen, Thanks for the follow up! The hay feeders are working out well. I bought the feeders for two different reasons, and they are working great! The Snacker is for my older horse, who has bad teeth. It slows down his eating and gives him smaller portions to chew in his stall at night. The Grande is for my youngster. He eats too fast, and spends a lot of stall time cramming and then nothing for the rest of the night. Works great for both of them, and they are great in the pasture too! No more wasted hay! Thanks so much! Carrie D. * * * Thank you for your email. The Busy Horse Feeders are fabulous! I've got 3 set up in each of my paddocks for my easy keepers. I've spaced out the feeding stations so they travel around. I'm feeding them the same amount of hay - yet it lasts them significantly longer (most of the day) - so that they're not sitting there with empty stomachs (and acids building, etc) throughout the day because they gobbled up their morning feeding all up in an hour. It helps my mare who had a history of ulcer-like problems before I bought her -because now she can nibble through out the day (she also has EMS/Insulin resistance so can not be on grass and has to have a controlled carb diet). Interestingly - when I first started using the Busy Horse Feeders - I would put out a slice on the ground still - they would go and stand at the busy feeders and wait for me to stuff them and not go eat the slice on the ground! There must be something very satisfying about eating from them for the horses. Only comments would be that a couple of the rings were not squeezed together tight and within 2 weeks of use they came off entirely. However - they were easy to put back on and squeeze shut. The bags that did have the rings squeezed shut have held up great so far. I've mounted some of the feeders on a flat board frame on the ground attached with carabiner clips on each ends and then one mounted on a post. Future ideas / design recommendations (in the even that you ever pass it on to your manufactureer on these) - would be that if there were a ring at the bottom of the bag - it would be handy for easy clipping on to for feeder setups where you're securing top and bottom. I'll definately recommend them to my friends looking to feed their horses differently. I love the fact that my horses have something to nibble on all day and not feeling like they're starving. thanks! Tes O. * * * Karen, I received the Cool Medics Vests this afternoon, and already used them!!! They're great!!! They fit perfectly, and are amazing. Thank you very much for all you extra effort in ensuring they were a good fit. Kindest Regards, Alice * * * Thanks very much for acknowledging my purchase. Yes, I try to use Eqyss Products exclusively on my Friesians since it is natural and leaves no residue. With such thick, heavy hair if I use anything that can irritate, they will scratch and rub like crazy, these products help to keep that to a minimum. Take care, Paula Wyning Edge Friesians, LLC www.wyningedgefriesians.com * * * From Sue in Australia... Hello Karen, My parcel arrived in the mail yesterday!! How quick was that? We only get 2 mails a week out here so I wasn’t even looking for it yet. Thank you so much for the little extras!! It was like getting a parcel from my grandmother, she always manages to put in “something” but would you believe I have a horse with thrush!! I have to shoe myself here and I was wondering which way to go with it, so now I can try your little bottle! The whole parcel smelt sooo good with the soap in it. I have had a ride this AM with the EquiVisor brim on my helmet and it is perfect…I wonder why no one has done this before. I know I should ride with a helmet all the time, but without the brim, and in the heat and glare I find I often dont…no excuses now!! A million thanks again for everything, and especially for your wonderful service…..if I ever want anything from over there again I will certainly be starting with you. All the very best and I hope to be in touch again one day. Best regards Sue * * * Hi Karen, Thanks so much for your call, sorry I missed you. And thanks for letting us know about the order. We also really appreciate the "tips" about the Baretek. It has come highly recommended from a friend of my daughters, ______. She highly recommended your site, now I can see why! ... (My trainer) highly recommended the Baretek. She is looking forward to using it. If you have a recommendation of a pad you sell that goes well with the Baretek, we would look forward to any suggestions you might have! Many thanks again for such great customer service!! Marianne * * * Yes, (the Arista Vest is) very cute and goes well with my jeans breeches. I love Arista stuff, especially the breeches, nicest real leather full seats out there! Michelle |
