Yearling Filly Wins Vetrolin Grooming Award From Farnam at American Miniature Horse Registry National Championships

Tulsa, Okla. (November 17, 2009) – Chasta Harrison and her Miniature Horse Curry’s Saturday Night Special proved they were special at the 2009 American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) National Championship Show when Harrison’s filly won the Vetrolin Grooming Award, sponsored by Farnam. Winning the title of “Best Groomed” horse at the show earned Curry’s Saturday Night Special and Harrison a year’s supply of VetrolinR Grooming Products provided by Farnam.

“My mom and I do all our own grooming so it is really exciting to win the Vetrolin Grooming Award,” Harrison said. “We are perfectionists when it comes to grooming. We are strict on color; we want the white to be white.”

Harrison, who lives in Heber Springs, Arkansas, has over 20 minis on her Mini h Farm. Curry’s Saturday Night Special was one of three minis she took to the National Championships. “She is a strawberry roan sabino filly,” Harrison said, in describing the filly’s beautiful coloring.

Harrison recently graduated from Arkansas Tech University and is hoping to attend vet school. “We already use VetrolinR shampoo and conditioner on our minis and I am really looking forward to trying the other VetrolinR products,” Harrison said. “I have heard so many great things about the detangler and I can’t wait to try it.”

The VetrolinR brand offers a comprehensive line of grooming products from cleaning and conditioning to soothing and invigorating; VetrolinR products perform to the highest standard. VetrolinR products are renowned for the essential oils and invigorating aroma that sets them apart from the competition. The ten products in the VetrolinR line provide a one-stop place to satisfy all your grooming needs and includes bath, body wash, conditioner, detangler, green spot out, shine, liniment and liniment gel products, plus the newest additions to the VetrolinR line: White ‘N BriteT Shampoo and White ‘N BriteT Body Wash.

“The American Miniature Horse Registry is really pleased that Farnam, the makers of VetrolinR products, supports our small equines and we are very grateful that they sponsor the Vetrolin Grooming Award,” said Johnny Robb, director of marketing for the American Shetland Pony Club and American Miniature Horse Registry (ASPC/AMHR). “The National Championship Show brings out the best minis in the country and the competition for Best Groomed was at an all time high.”
