“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” (Caleb Colton, 1820)…. My friend Jess (of Wicked Awesome Grooming – anyone with dogs in the Sterling/Franklin MA area with dogs should call her!!) does this with dog hair. It’s hilarious and I love it. Taking a page from her book of awesome, just using horse hair instead. SPRING IS HERE. #horsenation #horsesofinstagram #springisintheair A photo posted by bumblebuddy (@bumblebuddy) on

SpectraVET Perf. of the Week: Kelley Farmer Sweeps Top 3
What’s better than winning the $100,000 International Hunter Derby at HITS Desert Circuit? Sweeping the top 3! Watch Kelley Farmer’s first-, second- and third-place rides.
Arguably, no one had a better weekend than Kelley Farmer in Thermal, California: her toughest competition in the $100,000 International Hunter Derby was herself, as she captured not only the win but second and third place as well! Let’s take a look at her second-round handy rides, starting with third place and working our way up.
Third place: Mindful, owned by Kensel LLC. Farmer and Mindful recently won the International Hunter Derby at HITS Ocala.
Second place: Publicized, owned by Amanda Hone. Now, personally I’m a sucker for a big, beautiful dapple-gray hunter, so I would have pinned this pair first — but that’s just me. I’m content to just sit here and covet this lovely animal.
First place: Baltimore, owned by Jane Gaston. Baltimore notched his first Derby win just a few weeks ago at Gulf Coast — he’ll definitely be one to watch this year!
Well done, Kelley Farmer! Our congratulations to the connections of these three talented hunters!
