Tenda Horse Products and FarmPaint.com have consistently provided support to the reining world since a sister company, ThorSport Farm, trained its focus on reining several years ago. The farm breeds, trains, shows and owns several reining stallions, including Turn Down For What (QH), Smart Cowboy Whiz (QH) and APHA stallion No Smoking Required, who is co-owned by Schmersal Reining Horses. The farm is also home to Jake Ballard Reining Horses.
