Who would have thought that the pursuit of controlling that nasty fly problem in your horse’s stable could send you on a trip to Aachen, Germany? Better yet, that you would be doing your part to help the U.S. Team gain the Gold at the FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG)?

Farnam Companies, Inc., has committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its popular fly control products in a unique partnership with the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) to help send the U.S. team to the FEI World Equestrian Games taking place in August and September 2006. As an additional incentive to customers to purchase its products, Farnam is holding a sweepstakes, with a grand prize of a trip for two to attend the 2006 games in Aachen, Germany, August 27-September 4. The trip includes airfare, hotel accommodations for seven nights, daily WEG tickets, and $500 spending money. Other valuable prizes will also be awarded. All entries must be received by Farnam by July, 14, 2006.

“The World Equestrian Games spark a sense of patriotism and pride in horse aficionados throughout the world,” said Chris Jacobi, President of the Farnam Horse Division. “This is a simple way for us to foster a sense of ownership and support of the U.S. team among our customers.”

Customers can participate in the promotion by purchasing Farnam’s fly control products at any participating tack and feed shop or other equine products retailers throughout the country between March 1 and July 31, 2006. No purchase is necessary to participate in the sweepstakes, but entry forms can only be obtained at locations selling Farnam horse products or the Farnam website. More information and details on alternate means of entry are available at www.farnamhorse.com.

“Farnam is an outstanding corporate citizen for equestrian sport in this country,” said John Long, Chief Executive Officer of the United States Equestrian Federation. “They are setting an example for other commercial interests in horse sport to give back to the sport, which fuels their businesses. It is very expensive to send teams from all seven disciplines to the World Equestrian Games, and we are very proud to have Farnam partnering with us to support Team USA.”

With more than six decades of expertise in the equine industry, Farnam Companies, Inc., is the Official Fly Control Products sponsor of the USEF. The sponsorship is just one aspect of Farnam’s broad partnership with the USEF, which includes a four-year title sponsorship of the prestigious Farnam®/Platform™ Horse of the Year and presenting sponsorship of the Rolex CCI**** in Kentucky.

Farnam offers innovative approaches to battling one of nature’s longest standing pests.
