up on a breeding and training farm in the Midwest, Cassidy has been around
horses since birth. Her experience began in the Hunter/Jumper world, before
moving on to Eventing and receiving her H-A rating in Pony Club. She graduated
Summa Cum Laude from Ball State University with an Honors Degree in Marketing

to Raleigh, North Carolina and starting the C-Horse Event Team. She now spends
the majority of her time riding and teaching clients of all levels and in
a variety of disciplines, in addition to working full-time for equestrian

Mon Sharade was the first filly I bred, and I was elated when I first
saw her as she was beautiful, correct, and sweet. She had spirit to give
that little extra in the showring, yet happy and contented when people
were around her and she always loved and appreciated attention. Sharade
had a short but very successful showring career, that started at her first
show where she won Show Junior Champion Filly in a class that included
a filly who was sold to Quatar who later became Quatar Senior National
Champion Mare.
It was at the start of Sharade's performance training was when her freak
accident occurred and it changed both of lives forever. Sharade's injury
was life-threatening and she was given just a 30 percent chance to live.
It was only through the care and concern of her veterinarians and all others
who helped in her recovery through eight long months that combined with
her incredible strength and will to live, that she made it.
Sharade's life this past five years can change in a flash, from being
very comfortable and happy to showing the discomfort that the broken limb
caused to her good foot. Recently the vets and farriers agreed to take
a different approach to Sharade's hoof care, basically going natural, and
it seems to be working. We are using with what I consider two of the best
products on the market to allow Sharade to move comfortably while we attempt
to help her grow sole on her rotated foot. Hoof Wraps are providing a wonderful
support medium to allow the extra protection we need to keep her comfortable
while allowing the Vettec products to mold to her hoof. Considering her
injury was very similiar to Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner who lost
his battle for survival, we know the products are making the difference
for her. Thank you Hoof Wraps for all your support.
