Jobsons
Farm shop successfully opened by Tony Dobbin
Champion
jockey Tony Dobbin, the 1997 Grand National Winner, officially
opened Jobsons Farm Health Penrith Shop with a Worms, Wheezes
and Wines evening, held on 3rd October.
The
well-attended event provided an opportunity for horse owners
and equine enthusiasts from all over Cumbria to get some advice
and information about horse care.
Phil
Jobson, Managing Director of Jobsons, presented Tony Dobbin
with a cheque as a donation to the Injured Jockeys Society.

As
a family event, children were entertained with a lucky dip and drawing
competition and were also eager to see Kathryn from Kathryn's Riding
School, Lazonby trim 'Arthur' the horse's locks in a clipping demonstration.
Further Seasonal advice was given by suppliers and a qualified veterinary
rep, who gave talks and advice on feeding rules, worming regimes
and respiratory disease.
The
finale of the evening was the grand prize draw, which was won by
Alison Gasgarth form Eamont Bridge near Penrith. She was lucky enough
to win a year supply of wormer, 4 equest, 2 equitape and a fleece
top, which were donated by various suppliers.

Phil Jobsons, Managing Director commented that
"The
event was a great success and a fitting opening of our Penrith
shop. The response reflects the huge rise in horse ownership
and we are matching that market shift with much more emphasis
on equine advice and products whilst not changing our core
farm business,"
With
the success of the first Equine evening, Jobsons are to hold
another such event on the 28th November for anyone who was
unable to attend.
