COMPANY PROFILE

Our Mission

In October 2003, TheShowKid.com was launched. An idea born of a special need in the horse show realm. Rarely do we see a shop dedicated primarily to the needs of children who participate at various levels of the horse show world. With wide selection and prices so affordable that parents could, happily, shop and not feel the pinch of an already expensive venture.

TheShowKid.com was a hit!

A niche filled, sending a message that told the horse showing public this was a shop with “stuff for kids, with horse showing in mind.”

Company Profile

Marcia and Don Schwartz have owned the Holiday Farm Equine Center in Baldwinsville, New York for over twenty years. Their facility includes boarding, training, lessons, and an on-site tack shop, Equestrians' Choice. In the fall of 2004, after Marcia retired from thirty-four years of teaching elementary school, she and Don acquired TheShowKid.com. "The Kid" seemed perfect for the seasoned educator who loved both her students and her horses.

The Schwartz's have been involved with all horse breeds, but Arabians have been their passion since they purchased their very first horse in 1973. Since then they have been involved in all aspects of the Arabian industry - A-rated showing, President and Board of Directors in the Empire State Arabian Horse Association, Region XVI delegates, and even delegates to the Arabian National Convention.

It is our wish to continue this new venture at our Holiday Farm facility, located at 9233 Oswego Road, Baldwinsville, NY, and to continue the on-location horse show convenience you have come to rely on.  Any shows or farms wishing to invite TheShowKid to attend their event, need only contact Marcia or Don at (315)-695-3557 or (315)-382-4239.  We look forward to providing continued support to this important part of the horse industry.

We welcome your personal visits or your website visits.  Please let us know if we can be of any help - we're only a phone call or click away.

OMG...we sure hit the jackpot here!

Don't ever go out of business! I am a grandma who delights in buying stuff for her very serious equestrienne granddaughter who is 8 years old and riding ponies. You were the only place I could find the winter breeches she could school and show in.

TheShowKid.com had clothes for little ones (my son Adam is 3) that I could not find anywhere else. The staff was very helpful and my purchase was delivered to my door quickly and at a great price, too!

Scott Cresswell

I am pleased to have TheShowKid.com in our area. I recently needed a pair of winter riding breeches for my 5 year-old granddaughter. Marcia helped me find just what I wanted. Now Kathleen has a pair of riding pants "just like Grammy's." She rides my Arab mare all thru the winter.

Connie Crandon

TheShowKid.com has RJ Classic coats that tailor fit the little ones - FINALLY!

Hopefully, you, too, will soon become one of THE KID'S happy shoppers. Marcia and Don promise to do their very best for you and look forward to having you as return customers!
