Showtime Leather

 

A good leather belt is hard to find.  How many belts can you go through in a year, and how many have lasted the test of time?  Eventually, we all realize that the quality of the belts we buy is important if we don't want to throw them out frequently when they crease, crack, and tear after minimal use.

Showtime Leather, coming from the Showtime Saddlebreds team, features custom handmade belts with English bridle leather.  They make wonderful gifts and are also a nice gift for yourself!  The belts are for sale on Showtime Leather's website, and also available online from their Etsy store!

Showtime Leather not only makes belts. They create leather goods including bracelets, halters, and other gifts and tack.  If you need repairs, such as broken billets, they do that too!

American Saddlebred Magazine - Spring 2013 E-zine!

If you haven't checked out the American Saddlebred Magazine's e-zines that the ASHA puts out, you need to!  The ASHA has been hard at work keeping up with technological trends as well as becoming more "user friendly."  In my opinion, they are doing a great job and I look forward to seeing what they will come up with next.

Well, this looks interesting! I was wandering around Amazon.com and found this book for sale.  It looks like there is only 1 used copy available.  I'm not sure how relevant or widely published this is, but it sure does seem like something worth a look!

Background music - My Songs Know What You Did...

I know I can't be the only one that likes to ride with the radio on. I'm more apt to really get into riding in the arena if my favorite music is playing. Doesn't it seem to you like you are riding better when you have your own soundtrack behind you?

On the same line... You've watched the "music videos" people have made, right? Those with a big powerful Saddlebred trotting down the rail, maybe in slow-motion, and the perfect song to go along with it?

May I present a song that I think will fit perfectly! I dare you to not feel energized while listening to this and riding.
