Jen's Sponsors
"I have ridden in many different brands of boots over the years and just assumed tall boots weren't made to hold up to my busy life. I typically wore out a pair of boots within 6-8 months and if they were repairable, I might get a year out of them. I explained this fact to Jessica when we first met at Festival of Champions in 2021, to which she asked me to give her a chance to test out the new Kingsley Goucho waterproof leather for my everyday boots.
Almost two years later, I'm proud to say those original boots are still going strong, along with a 2nd pair of Goucho boots that will soon be joined by a third pair! Thanks to Jessica's incredible sense of style and my trust in her, when she told me she was designing a pair of Kingsley show boots with teal accents to match my shadbelly, I was all in! I didn't see the boots until I opened the box the week of USDF Finals and literally broke them in during my schooling ride at the start of the show! I've never had such comfortable straight-out-of-the-box boots! Jessica's career as a pysical therapist has given her the tools to acurately measure and "know" what riders will find comfortable based on their leg/foot conformation. Kingsley's auto-configurator enables Jessica and clients to design boots together at a distance. I am completely thrilled with my entire experience working with Jessica and I love my Kingsley boots!" ~Jen |
"I am very proud to support and be sponsored by Biomatrix. This highly palatable, USEF and FEI safe, camelina oil based supplement was created by my veterinarian, Dr. Bryan McNabb. It helps maintain joint health and mobility, promote normal muscle recovery, and gastrointestinal health by supporting a healthy inflammatory response. All my horses love the taste and I know I'm providing their bodies with the ability to stay healthy and fit for their athletic careers. My retired now 20 year old Grand Prix horse, Taffy, is proof of Biomatrix's benefits."

"EquusNow! is a wonderful privately-owned tack shop with locations in both Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio. They have many specialty gifts, artist collections, consignment areas, and an always impressive clearance section that comes from manufacturers getting rid of the past season's merchandise. They are very supportive of the horse community in our area and I'm always proud to send my clients there because I know they will get the best customer service possible. First time shoppers always rave to me about their experience and the quality of products."

"I am proud to say that my horses were some of Julie's first equine clients when she began learning about equine myofascial release techniques back in 2011. Julie is an excellent horsewoman with a great eye for biomechanics and asymmetries. She was instrumental in helping me recover Taffy from his potentially career-ending shredded hamstring injury and go on to compete successfully at Grand Prix for years after that! I totally trust Julie to work on my horses and those of my clients and I always feel the benefit her hands provide the horses in the rides following a session with her."

"I have been a client of Lebanon Equine Clinic since 2006 and have used my vet, Dr. Bryan McNabb, the entire time. He now specializes in high performance horses and has my complete and utter trust in everything. I truly believe he is one of the most kind, honest, compassionate, and intuitive vets I've had the pleasure working with. The clinic offers every amenity and even has a surgical suite for routine procedures. There are always multiple vets on staff, so someone is always available to come anytime day or night. I sleep well at night knowing that if something happens to one of my horses, LEC will be at my farm right away, that means the world to me."

"I am so very proud to announce that Dreamy is now the figurehead for NanoFlex! My sponsor, Grand Meadows, just introduced this brand-new product in early 2022. Nick, owner of GM, introduced it to me in our initial "get to know you" conversation. He offered to throw a couple sample bottles into my trial package of GPP so I could try-before-buying. I told him I wanted to buy a bottle that day without waiting to take it for a test drive for a multitude of reasons. This product is specifically designed to lubricate cartilage and buffer/support existing cartilage damage in how it forms a "pillow" effect in cartilage voids. It also can be used prophylactically to help stave off future damage and is topically applied, so non-invasive, and it's show legal since doesn't contain any medications or anti-inflammatory agents.
This all was music to my ears since Dreamy's front fetlock bruising diagnosis in Jan 2022 required four months of rest and intense therapy. I am thrilled with his comeback, and I give credit to NanoFlex for playing a major role in his recovery success. There was a noticeable difference in the fluidity of his fetlock/pastern mobility after about 2 weeks of using NanoFlex. Interestingly, I started using it on my knees and hands and also noticed a dramatic improvement after two weeks. Now, if I forget to put it on myself, my joints feel stiff and achy. I highly recommend veterinarians contact Nick to get samples for their clients to try. Also, any horse owner who is dealing with joint issues or wants to help protect their horse against future joint issues, should request samples to try, or just do what I did, take the gamble on my word that your $100 purchase will be money well-spent." ~Jen |
“Historically at Grand Meadows, we have shied away from horse specific sponsorship but after speaking with Jen Truett and hearing her passion about Dreamy and how important his soundness was to her, we were thrilled to hear of his success and the improvement in his fluidity after using the Nanoflex. Our core philosophy has always been about making our products as effective and innovative as we possibly can and we decided that Dreamy would be a fantastic representation of what Nanoflex can do for such a high profile and important horse."

"I've known the owners of PP for many, many years...since I was a kid showing western Quarter Horses! I am endlessly impressed with Jeff Morgenstern's ability to solve the issues we horse owners face when trying to maintain our horse's health and comfort while reaching for the stars in their athletic performance, but not break any USEF or FEI clean sport rules. I started working with Jeff when Taffy, who was super reactive and spooky at shows, needed something to help calm his nerves so he could focus. Jeff came up with a successful custom PP regimen to keep him present and mentally available at shows. When I started showing wild youngster Dreamy, I was forced to lunge him way longer than any young horse should before he was quiet enough for me to consider getting on. Jeff to the rescue again with a custom regimen of products to help Dreamy stay focused and ridable. Over the years, I've had many clients use PP supplements with their horses and they always notice an improvement."

"I met PF's owner, Jennifer, in person in New Mexico last spring while teaching the Biomechanics of Collection Symposium with Dr. Hilary Clayton.
I felt the angular concrete sand we used, same as the previous time, was slightly too unstable for my liking. Even after having the winter to settle, when I returned from FL in April, it still needed more stability. I identified PF's Dust Halt (ONLY $450 for a bucket that treates my whole 100'x250' arena!!!!) as my top candidate and was astonished to find the owner was a sponsor of my clinic! After discussing the technical specs of the product, I called the PF sales department (from the airport) and had a container shipped to DHF. I have been THRILLED with the results! Within a couple of days, the sand was much more stable, allowing our horses' feet to slide but not roll over or lose grip! Dust Halt also seriously reduced our choking dust cloud eavery afternoon. We only wound up with a little dust when it hadn't rained for days and the sun baked all the morning dew from the sand. Even in mid summer, every morning the footing was perfectly moist from the dew. When I placed my order last week for this year's bucket, Jennifer offered to sponsor me! I'm stoked!!! PF has MANY more products than just Dust Halt. They have footing additives like yoga mat foam that's great for added cushion and stability (my next product to test), fiber and their own dustless sand (not the sticky, wax-coated sand)! They also make ground stablizing diamond-shaped geocell available via Amazon to use for the run-outs off my horses' stalls. I am honored to represent Performance Footing and all the company has to offer. Thank you Jennifer for the opportunity!" ~Jen |

UPDATE: Lenny and I love this product so much that we took over the company! We are now assembling feeders in a newly rennovated section of one of our barns. Savvy Feeders are now being shipped nationwide right from DHF's doorstep!
"I feel like I hit the jackpot when I discovered Savvy Slow Hay Feeders!!! I've looked off and on for years for a better way to feed hay to my horses. My precious Dreamy is a dunker and spreader-outer of hay. His two water buckets used to hold practically a half flake of hay each by lunch and then again by night check every day! He would also spread his hay all around his stall looking for the most delicious pieces. I tried every type of hanging slow hay feeder I could find, but I never liked how angry he got at them and how much his neck torqued around trying to get the hay out. Then last year, he got cast in the paddock in Florida and made his neck sore and I stopped using all types of hanging feeders. Ever since then, I've searched the internet for ground slow-feed hay feeders so that he could eat his hay in a natural "grazing" position. My issue was that it had to be completely safe, because if anyone could put a foot in something, it would be Dreamy! I came across the Savvy Feeders and was completely sold! I've bought one for each of my farm's dry lot paddocks and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a natural, safe, and non-wasteful way to feed hay. I just wish Lenny and I had come up with this idea and design ourselves...it's brilliant!" ~Jen |
"I have proudly fed Tribute Nutrition products to my farm of 30-40 horses since 2016. I have always been uncomfortable feeding horses large volumes of concentrated feed since their GI system is designed to forage for small amounts of food all day long. When ration balancers (fortified, high protein/low calorie and volume feed) started coming into the market, I was an early adopter. Tribute's ration balancer, Essential K (EK), meets most horses' nutritional requirements when fed only 1-1.5lbs per day. Tribute's has several products are complimentary to EK designed to meet the needs of horses whose metabolism and/or work load requires more calories and/or fat in their daily than EK provides alone. Here at DHF, we supplement EK with Tribute's Kalm and EZ, Senior Sport, and Kalm Ultra for those higher nutritional need horses. I'm happy to say I've not had any issues with palatability or quality consistency with any of Tribute's feeds and I confidently recommend Tribute to anyone interested in feeding products backed by good research and business integrity."

"BEST...CUSTOMER...SERVICE...EVER!!
Additionally, Kate Ballard, one of the few actual British Master Saddlers in the US, is incredibly gifted at fitting, designing, and creating saddles that enhance the horse and rider's performance and comfort. I've worked with Kate since 2016 and likely have 30+ clients with her saddles at this point. I've never been more impressed by a saddler's knowledge and understanding of rider and horse biomechanics or as creative as Kate is at solving rider comfort issues. These are the reasons she is the chosen saddler for most of our US Para-equestrian riders and the Canadian Dressage Team." ~Jen |
"My mom, Lynda Sappington, is an INTERNATIONALLY-REKNOWED EQUINE SCULPTOR! Isn't that so cool?? I'm always impressed with how beautiful, flowing and realistic her work is. She started taking sculpting lessons for fun when my brother and I were teenagers. She has amassed an impressive gallery of both commissioned and artist-inspired works. Her most recent bronze sculpture (below) is of me riding my now-retired, Taffy, in piaffe from a picture my dad took while we were warming up in Florida a few years ago. She has done a life-size of an internationally famous Friesian stallion, Nanning 374, and also many trophies, and prized pieces displayed in personal art collections around the world. Yes, I AM very proud of my mom!"

Team Dream Customer Benefit: purchase any Winderen product at a discount using my code: XTRON |
"I actually discovered Winderen through a directed FaceBook ad! I was intrigued by the design of their half pads and dug into their website for more info and placed my first order! I now have two half pads: the Comfort pad with shims and the Slim pad without shims. I use them both everyday! Invented and designed by riders, I feel these are a major advancement over traditional cotton/fleece/gel half pads. Winderen pads are comprised of five layers of high-tech material specifically designed to absorb energy, concussion, relieve pressure spots, and improve saddle stability for the horse which translates into reduced bounce and shock to the rider. I actually tested their claims myself by riding sitting trot on several horses with the Winderen pad (not shimmed) and without. The difference was obvious! I used to have to use a Cashel seat saver to help stabilize the rock in my pelvis on very bouncy horses to protect my tailbone. My seat saver (which is not legal for recognized competition) has now been replaced by my Winderen half pad! Winderen's product line is not limited to half pads, they also have an innovative bit line with interchangeable cheek pieces, shock-absorbing stirrups and more! I highly recommend checking out all the amazing products they have to offer! "
