Beautiful Diamante Farms, owned by Dick and Terri Kane and nestled in the heart of Wellington, Florida, extended their stunning look to the stabling area at the show grounds during the Wellington Classic Holiday Challenge Toys for Tots Benefit Show. Thanks to a welcoming, well organized and well decorated stabling area, Diamante Farms won the Classic Equine Stall and Tack Room Award, sponsored by Classic Equine Equipment, a nationally recognized leader in quality horse stall systems and stable accessories.

Festive poinsettias, and a basket filled with apples, carrots and bananas for horses and riders, helped Diamante Farms clinch the award. “I want to congratulate Diamante Farms on a very attractive stabling area at the show grounds,” said Adam Busse, President of Classic Equine. “Part of Classic Equine’s mission is to provide quality stall systems and stable components for discriminating horse owners, so we always appreciate a tack area at the show grounds that is not only quality, but makes the riders feel welcome.” 

Devon Kane, who was competing for Diamante Farms at the show, along with Olympian Michelle Gibson, who calls Diamante Farms her United States headquarters, were awarded fleece vests from Classic Equine for winning the Classic Equine Stall and Tack Room Award. “Our colors at Diamante Farm are light blue and brown and we follow that color scheme at the show with the curtains,” Kane said, adding that she wanted to thank Classic Equine Equipment for choosing Diamante Farms as the winner.

Diamante Farms, located on Indian Mound Road in Wellington, is a world-class facility that offers boarding, training, sales and clinics. The farm offers a spectacular full-size covered arena, outdoor arena, oversize stalls and the ability for clients to train with Gibson, who helped the United States Dressage Team win a Bronze Medal at the 1996 Olympics. 

“Classic Equine is pleased to be offering the Classic Stall and Tack Room Award. It is great fun for us to have the opportunity to look for barns that have taken the decorating of their tack and stabling area to the next level at the show grounds,” Busse said. “When looking for winners, we are judging tack and stabling areas on aesthetics and suitability for horses and riders.”

Busse added that Classic Equine Equipment loves being affiliated with the dressage shows at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center. “It’s a great facility and the best riders in the world compete there,” Busse said, adding that Classic Equine will present the Classic Stall and Tack Room Award at a variety of Gold Coast Dressage Association (GCDA) shows and Wellington Classic Dressage (WCD) shows, including: the GCDA Opener CDI, January 21-23, 2011; the WCD Spring Challenge CDI, February 10-13, 2011; the WCD Challenge II, March 10-13, 2011; and the GCDA Finale I, April 15-16.

“Classic Equine was founded in 1991 with the mission of providing quality products. In addition to stall systems and barn accessories, we have expanded to include stall mats, eco-friendly flooring, and we proudly offer the Classic Fullstride Treadmill,” Busse said. “Classic Equine offers a unique concept, one which integrates all necessary equine components into a brilliant system. For horse owners who can’t find what they are looking for, Classic Equine Equipment will custom design a dream barn for them.”
