| Loaded up and ready to go! |
What a busy two weeks it has been for us here at Wooden Horse Corporation! Aside from a quick day in between to re-group and re-pack, we have been on the road for about 9 days. If you read our last blog you'll know we just got back from our trip to New York City, where the Equicizer was used in a taping of Harry Connick Jr.'s daytime TV show "Harry". However, our first trip took us south to Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio.

We were thrilled to join up with
Steve Lantvit, his wife Jenn and the rest of their team from Thursday through Saturday at Equine Affaire and have Maggie the Equicizer accompany us in the booth. So many familiar faces stopped by during the event and we were happy to see and talk to all of you! Steve also used the Equicizer during several of his demonstrations. We did get a few strange looks as we wheeled the Equicizer back and forth between the buildings 😉 But it just adds a little more excitement and mystique to the demos!

We left Equine Affaire a day early so we could unpack, repack and prepare Maggie for her television debut on "Harry". Maggie rode in the back of Frankie's Ford Explorer (on both of her trips) and arrived in New York on Tuesday afternoon where we dropped her off at the CBS studio. The next afternoon we drove back into the city - which was quite an adventure itself - for the taping and went on the set to tack Maggie up and get her ready for show time.
We were thrilled with the segment which was shot with former jockey Rosie Napravnik appearing first, giving a demonstration on the Equicizer and then offering Harry a leg up for his turn. (Thankfully, we decided last minute to lower the stirrups another couple of holes or Harry's 6'1" frame may not have allowed him to get his feet into the stirrups!) It was great fun for everyone, the audience included, and Rosie gave Harry a fantastic jockey lesson aboard the Equicizer.

We are back in the office now, getting caught up and settling into the swing of things. We appreciated all of the friendly faces we encountered on our travels and look forward to what's next to come.
Joining our newsletter is a great way to stay up to date on any future trips and events we do with the Equicizer.
