 The story of Espana natural grooming products goes back to 1999 and an  accident in an indoor arena. Trudy Midas, co-owner of the company with  husband, Bob Hansen, was thrown from her horse and broke her back making  it impossible to ride again for four years. After three surgeries and  years of extensive rehabilitation she was still on

 The story of Espana natural grooming products goes back to 1999 and an  accident in an indoor arena. Trudy Midas, co-owner of the company with  husband, Bob Hansen, was thrown from her horse and broke her back making  it impossible to ride again for four years. After three surgeries and  years of extensive rehabilitation she was still only able to provide  daily grooming and maintain the all important animal/human bond.

During  this time Trudy used virtually every grooming product on the market.  The harsh chemicals in some made Bob wonder if these ingredients could  be harmful to Trudy and/or her horse. The owners of seven race horses  and two pleasure horses at the time, Trudy and Bob began investigating  better options. Their research indicated that a new all natural equine  grooming line would be a welcome addition in the stables.

They  then set out to develop the line of all natural products that would be  effective and safe for humans and animals. This process included  consultations with chemists, and additional research and development  which led to the inclusion of silk proteins as a key ingredient and to  the pleasant signature cucumber-spa fragrance of all Espana SILK  products. Finally, in 2006, the husband and wife team found an  experienced, quality manufacturer to produce their all natural line of  grooming products.

A year ago, I accepted a press pass from my friend Kayla to take  photographs at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, not ever thinking  how it could possibly have changed my life.

Twelve months later, having photographed many incredible dog shows  and meeting many wonderful people, I found myself reflecting on the last  show of 2017. Standing ring-side at the National Championship Dog Show,  I realized the dogs I needed to be photographing weren’t the ones  standing a few feet away from me under the bright show lights, but the  dogs outside the arena with their people packing it up to go home after a  long day at this show.

The best dogs will always be our own dogs, and it doesn’t matter if  they are pure bred or mix breeds as long as we love them and responsibly  take care of them. Studies have repetitively shown that having a dogs  companionship will helps us to live longer healthier lives by being  active and involved with them. See, dogs are good for us!

My decision at the end of 2017 was to do an art project that would  span a year focusing on the all dogs I was drawn to photograph. It  seemed like an easy project until trying to figure out a format. It was  decided with the collaboration of photographers, writers and artists to  create this magazine that would share this vision with our audience of  covering not only dogs outside the ring, but on the streets, in the  fields, on the trains, at work, in the shelters, in the parks and in our  daily lives.

We invite all of you to join us for the release of Dogs Outside The  Ring on Valentine’s Day as we follow these faithful companions on a  worldwide journey through photographs, stories, and art bringing this  Year of the Dog full circle. We’re ready!

 It all started in 1996 with White on White, when, with chemistry and  perseverance, Chris Christensen developed the first true color  correcting shampoo for canines and felines. White on White was a  catalyst in the evolution of canine coat care. The momentum that  followed has allowed Chris Christensen Systems to bring you the finest  grooming products ever available in the dog show and pet care worlds.

Founded and owned by Chris and Lisa Christensen, the company has  steadily grown since its small beginnings as a one-car garage operation  in Dallas, Texas. Twenty-two years later, Chris Christensen Systems now  offers over 476 products with new products always in development.

Based in Fairfield, Texas, in a 30,000 square foot facility, the  company is the largest employer in Fairfield with 30 employees and  growing. 

The Chris Christensen core product line contains a large variety of  products including: all-breed products, coat-specific products,  intensive coat treatments, effective quick fixes, color enhancements,  styling solutions, hand-crafted brushes and grooming tools, state of the  art shears, professional pet salon products, the most quiet force  dryers available today, and durable D-Flite tack boxes.

With an average of 5 products in development at all times, our  product line grows rapidly each year, and we have no intentions of  slowing down. With every product created, Chris and Lisa insist that  each product do what the label says it will do, one of the defining  qualities that Chris Christensen is known for - quality.

At Chris Christensen Systems, product creation is a group effort.  Every single product idea we are given or discover, has to pass a three  question test: 1) Does this product serve a purpose for our customers?  2) Is there a product like this on the market? 3) If so, can we make it  better? Once a product passes those three questions, the product is then  subjected to countless hours of testing, trials, and prototypes, until  it's perfect.

Chris's passion and excitement about a new product is always  contagious. Chris and his wife Lisa, have nit-picked and demanded the  best of each and every product, from the very start. 

Chris Christensen Systems proudly manufactures Kool Dry force dryers,  D-Flite tack boxes, and over 80% of our liquid products at our facility  in Fairfield, Texas.
