June 23, 2025 – Under the perfect Central Valley sun, the Tractor Supply Equine Health Event on June 21st in Clovis proved to be a resounding success, drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd of horse lovers and community members. Hosted by Tractor Supply Clovis and supported by Nutrena Feed, the day was a vibrant showcase of equine care, local businesses, and heartfelt adoptions.

From 8 AM to 1 PM, attendees had the opportunity to enjoy delicious food from Wild West Goods, browse the exquisite craftsmanship of Best Leatherworks, and stay refreshed with cool snow cones from Yeti Snow Balls and invigorating coffee from Bronco Coffee Bar. Beyond the treats and artisan goods, the event offered valuable practical insights with farrier education sessions, providing attendees with expert knowledge on hoof care. Children delighted in a dedicated craft table, and enthusiasts scoured an array of vintage tack items, adding a nostalgic touch to the day.

The emotional highlight of the event was undoubtedly the adoption of Ernie and Charlie, two magnificent horses from RawHyde Rescues. These equine ambassadors, who charmed visitors throughout the day, found their forever home with Tisha Lawson. Their adoption was a beautiful testament to the vital work that RawHyde Rescues performs, connecting deserving animals with loving families and highlighting the compassionate spirit within our community. Ernie and Charlie were perfect representatives for the organization, especially endearing themselves to the many little ones present.

The event’s seamless execution was a direct result of the immense volunteer effort and generous donations. RawHyde Rescues expressed immense gratitude to their Advisory Board members, Jody Lynn, Diane Gardner Rouff, and Julie Ainsworth, who dedicated their time and talents. Additional recognition was extended to Brian McKay, Jamielyn Shwetzer (whose daughters admirably managed the craft table), Cheyenne DiCenzo, and Nicholas Jancaric for their invaluable contributions.

Supporting local businesses and media were also key to the event’s widespread reach. Special thanks were given to Shell Renaye Photo for capturing stunning images, and the Clovis Roundup Newspaper was on hand to document the day’s happenings, with a full article and photo gallery to follow. Craig and Marie Newman, and Kristin Guyette were also acknowledged for their support.

The Tractor Supply Equine Health Event underscored the vibrant and caring nature of the Clovis community, bringing together residents, businesses, and animal welfare organizations for a day of education, enjoyment, and heartwarming connections. The Clovis Roundup Newspaper will be sharing a full photo gallery on our website and social media channels soon, inviting everyone to revisit the highlights of this memorable day.
