Without the partnership of our trusted sponsors, McQuay Stables would not be able to provide the highest level of horse care and client service we strive to offer. We hope you will take a moment to visit our partners' websites and discover the products we have come to love so much.
Compassion with the Pursuit of Excellence
History
”We've been around horses most of our lives, it's in our blood and part of our DNA. We've helped with adopting & rehabbing horses to enjoying them for leisure as well as amateur and competitive showing. Our experience stretches over 40+ years in several disciplines as well as winning several NRHA & AQHA Championship Titles along the way.”
Compassion
Our love, compassion & dedication is 100% for horses and their well being. We believe that having a Scientific approach to their health needs is the foundation of caring for them. Providing shelter from the elements, a good water source, quality forage along with superb supplementation is key to their longevity and happiness.
Giving Back
Our belief is that "we" need to be a voice and a difference maker for horses and the Equine community. Increasing public awareness through education, scientific research & studies, peer reviews as well as providing financial assistance to the community through fundraising and donations. On a monthly basis, we donate 10% of net sales as well as 100% of all corporate and individual donations to Horse Rescues & Sanctuaries that need help.

That’s why I’m so happy to be partnered with them. In addition to the quality of and the results of their product, 100X is one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.

The Back on Track company manufactures joint and muscle protection, which are manufactured from the Welltex® textile which is sold under the registered brand name Back on Track.
The textile is made up of fibers of polyester and polypropylene (some of the products are mixed with cotton fibers) with a ceramic powder fused into the fibers. The ceramic gives the fabric its unique property, which reflects body heat in the form of infrared heat radiation.
The production takes place in our own factories in China and each time a new batch of ceramic textile is manufactured an independent university laboratory measures the level of reflected heat and it's wavelength. In this way we can ensure consistency in quality and efficiency.
Back on Track's head office is based in Uppsala, Sweden, with subsidiaries in Germany, England, Finland, Canada, and France. Sales are made through retailers all over Sweden and in Norway, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Spain, Iceland, Hungary, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia, Iran, Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand. New dealers are added all the time, both in Sweden and around the world.
"We use Back on Track products for both our horses and ourselves. We have seen such major benefits over the years, and the products fit perfectly with our emphasis on prevention of and rapid treatment of injuries," Colleen reflected. "In addition, this therapy is not labor intensive and is very easy to use."
Having recently celebrated their 75th year in business, Shapley's has been bringing quality horse care products to the market for long enough to have perfected the art of coat care and "turn-out." Although their business began with their exclusive treatment for skin issues, "M-T-G", the company now offers an extensive and all-inclusive line of equine grooming products.
Generations of horsemen around the world representing a wide range of breeds and disciplines, have continued to place their trust in us making our company a leader in the horse care industry. Shapley’s mission statement is that our customers, human and equine, come first. We will always maintain our tradition of innovation driven by your requirements.
"Taking great care of our horses' skin and hair is very important to us at McQuay Stables. Shapley's products are an essential part of this process. Not only do we want to be sure our horses look great when we show them, but we make great effort to maximize the comfort and health of their skin and coat. We can trust that the products from Shapley's are safe and effective for our use both at home and on the road," Colleen said.
"My experience showing horses taught me that the closest and safest position on a horse was at the withers. This position allows you to move with the horse even when the horse decides to do a 180 degree turn," says Bob.
"Knowing that position is essential to performance. I have designed each of our saddles to place you close to the pocket created by the horse's shoulders and withers. The ground seat in our saddles puts you, when fit without a saddle pad, close to the horse's back. Our fenders are designed to hang directly beneath you and allows you to sit up directly over your feet and maintain your balance even when you stand up in your stirrups or sit straight down. Any other design would tip your torso, thus changing the position of your thigh and preventing you from having the maximum ability to swing your legs forward or back," he continues.
Bob's offers many saddle styles and options. The fairest way to decide which Bob's best fits your needs is to call one of our fine dealers or see us at an upcoming horse show or event.
Tim stated, "Bob's saddles offer some of the greatest saddle quality available, and I love the fit of the Tim McQuay model for both horse and rider."
The original neoprene backed felt saddle pad! This high quality synthetic felt is backed with scuba quality neoprene. The WonPad will help to prevent saddle slippage and promote sweating which will keep your horse cooler. Won Pad is so sure you will love their pad, that they allow you to ride it 7 days and if you don't like it, you don't own it. Simply return it for a full refund.
"The WonPad keeps our horses' backs comfortable, and we love the cleansability of it. A quick rinse makes it ready to dry fast and re-use. With the number of horses we ride, this is a necessity!" Tim explained.
BoneKare® is a widely researched, nutritional supplement designed to promote healthy bone formation, repair and bone density in horses.
The active ingredient in BoneKare® is KQ®, a water soluble and bio-available form of Vitamin K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 has a critical effect on the function of Osteocalcin, which is what binds the mineral and protein in the bone. BoneKare® is competition-safe worldwide.
"I really believe that BoneKare has made a difference in our horses, from our babies all the way through our older show horses. Originally from Europe, we have been using it for several years and are seeing great results," Colleen said.
