Trusted by generations of horse owners, Farnam marks its milestone anniversary with the launch of the Horse Care Grant Sweepstakes and continued innovation in equine care.
Since 1946, Farnam has helped support horses from head to hoof with trusted products across fly control, supplements, grooming, leather care, dewormers and rodenticides. Passed down through generations of horse owners, Farnam products have become staples in barns across the country by helping make everyday horse care easier, more effective, and more reliable.
Following a 2025 brand refresh designed to better connect with today's horse owners while honoring the trust built over generations, Farnam continues to invest in modern, science-backed innovation across its equine portfolio.
As part of its continued focus on innovation, Farnam recently introduced Endure® Gold Killer Fly & Mosquito Control, one of the brand's most significant fly control innovations in recent years. Featuring two active ingredients never before used in equine fly sprays along with a new mode of action, Endure® Gold delivers advanced fly protection designed to help horse owners more effectively manage flies and mosquitoes during peak fly season.
To mark its 80th anniversary, Farnam is also giving back to the horse community through the Horse Care Grant Sweepstakes, running May 1 through July 31, 2026. The sweepstakes was designed to help owners offset everyday horse expenses through grants and product bundles. A total of sixteen winners will be selected at random following the close of the sweepstakes period.

- One (1) Grand Prize Winner: $5,000 Horse Care Grant Reimbursement
- Five (5) First Prize Winners: $1,000 Horse Care Grant Reimbursements
