There are a few reasons why Purina Horse Feed is my go-to feed:

 Purina uses only the best ingredients to create their feeds, making sure that the horses get the nutrition that they need to perform their best

 Purina has feed specifically tailored to the horses’ needs- from mares and foals to performance horses. It’s like having a personal chef for your horse!

 The proof is in the research! Purina has been feeding champions with scientifically backed feeds for decades.

I would highly recommend checking Purina out for yourself! Bowmen’s has always been our supplier, and they do a wonderful job of helping us assess our horses’ needs!

Team ABBF had a super weekend out at the Area II championships at The Maryland Horse Trials this weekend! We are so lucky to have such a fabulous venue with so many wonderful volunteers to pull off this huge event! Congrats to all on a job well done!

This was a little bit of a quiet weekend for ABBF riders but a smile this big is all we need to remember how lucky we are to get to do what we do everyday!

Huge congrats to Deb Neivert and her Tally (former ABBF sales horse) on their Intro level Reserve Champion status at Woodstock’s PVDA show this past weekend!

Kelly Williams is an amazing 3 day eventing woman.

Kelley is an advanced level eventer whose passion for horses began at young age while taking riding lessons at summer camp. Pat, having loved horses from the time she was a child, saw an opportunity to fulfill her childhood dreams and decided that mother-daughter riding lessons might be fun.  And the rest, as they say, is history.

After graduating from St. Mary’s College with a degree in Mathematics, Kelley began working for Dr. Will Engel of Ridgeview Veterinary Practice (large animal veterinarian).  Working at the practice has helped fine-tune her horsemanship skills over the years.  In addition, Kelley continued with her riding and competing, and soon found a love of retraining young horses off the track and teaching students.  That, coupled with her passion for eventing, led to her current career as trainer for A Bit Better Farm.
