Cinnabar

This is Cinnabar he s an Arabian about 18 years old. We attended the California Police and Fire Olympics 2009 at the City of Industry and won the silver in Poles. 3 runs later he improved by a full second! He has normal arthritis due to age. He is also my mounted Search and Rescue horse with the Kern County Sheriff’s Department. He’s irreplacable to me! Platinum CJ keeps him running at his best.

Kathy Woolley

This is my 6 year old filly LH Fabulous Wyn. This last spring we put Wyn on Platinum, and myself on Platinum Ortho Chon Plus. The difference in both of us has been remarkable. I suffered a broken hip 16 years ago while running barrels. I suffer from femoral acetabular impingement and arthritis. The Ortho Chon has really helped with the ache in my hip. Wyn has become much more focused in her runs. My horse looks great and I feel great. We are now a winning team! Thanks Platinum!

Platinum Advisor, Sarah Periera, who attended the West Coast Finals commented,”The show was amazing! The competition was so tough. It was exciting to meet all of the young riders and hear about their Platinum horses.”

Congratulations also goes to Matthew Metell who claimed the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search East Coast Finals Championship in Gladstone, NJ on October 4, 2009.

Snaffle Bit Futurity Co-Reserve Champions- Boyd Rice and Todd Crawford

Congratulations to Zane Davis on his 2009 Snaffle Bit Futurity Open Championship on Reymanator. Zane was leading the pack during the preliminaries and scored a 218.5 in the herd work and a 214 in the rein work. That meant it all came down to the cow work. The crowd held their breath as Zane was last to go and scored a 220 in the cow work, taking the win. Splitting second, was Boyd Rice and Picka Patcha Pepto and Todd Crawford and Shiners Nickel, with identical scores of 446.5. We would like to congratulate all of the 2009 Snaffle Bit Futurity Contestants on their successes.

Co-Champions and Platinum clients Boyd Rice and Todd Crawford are pictured above.

Jessie

My horse is the coolest. He’s the funniest horse I’ve ever owned, just look at those funny faces he makes. Jessie is a 15y.o. palomino Q/H. He’s a reiner /reined cow horse / now a cowboy mounted shooting horse. We have fun together in whatever we do. I sent you a funny picture of him, thats how he greets me every mornin. He should really be in movies!

Ya-Eat-Yet

I put my cutter on Platinum 2 years ago on the advise of my vet. His arthritis has improved and his coat is amazing. Everyone who knew the horse before I purchased him raves about how good he looks. Thank you for a great product!
