STACHOWSKI FARMS
Jim is emphatic about the unique contribution of individuals that make the Stachowski team’s success, “All of us started at the bottom somewhere and worked our way up. It’s important to always remember this, as ideas can come from any part of our operation, in fact, our industry. Everyone has something to contribute: the young trainer, the new rider, the multichampion rider, even our horses. Everyone brings their own flavor, experience, ideas and goals to the journey of teaming up the right rider to the right horse and having everything line up for that perfect ride. I cannot emphasize this enough, everyone has to start somewhere. Stachowski Farms’ Youth goals start with this, ‘Giving horse crazy kids who are wanting to get into horses an opportunity to do so.’” Multi-national champion winner, Holland Stevens, exemplifies this sentiment perfectly in describing her wins this year on DA Heatstroke, “I cannot express my love for this horse in words; he has never failed to make me the proudest owner and rider in and out of the show ring. I can’t help but smile when I’m around
him, and he makes me feel like the luckiest person alive. Our time together is unforgettable, with the ride we had in Arabian English pleasure JTR at the top of the list. My precious ‘Nugget’ has done it again, DA Heatstroke … UNANIMOUS champions! Thank you to everyone who has had a hand in this, it truly means the world to me!” n
