“Equine Essentials™ has maintained my horses’ coats and conditioning at a level that has allowed me to reduce or eliminate all of the normal feed supplements. It has a natural calming effect. Horses that have been known to be difficult and nervous in the ring are much more manageable with Equine Essentials. This natural supplement has made my horse a much more pleasant and effective equine competitor, which in turn has made me an even happier rider!”
Holly Shepherd has been riding competitively since she was nine years old. In her junior career she was named champion in several pony competitions and was a regular qualifier in many national championships. Once Holly turned professional, she continued her winning streak.
She was the 2003 MASCUP Rider of the Year and the 2004 First Year Green Hunter Champion. In her years of competition, Shepherd has won over one million dollars in prize money. Shepherd is a 19-time major grand prix champion, and has placed first and third in the 2005 Winter Classic in Gulfport, Mississippi. Holly was also named the most consistent grand prix competitor.
Though she is based in Mobile, Alabama, Shepherd has developed a national client base. She managed and operated an independent riding program at DeHoyo Stables in Houston, where she taught students how to compete. Several of her students were amateur owner jumper champions and reserve small junior hunter champions.
Holly knows what it takes to succeed in equine events, and that is why she gives her horses Equine Essentials™. Holly sees the extra edge the equine athletes receive when using the product.
