Train, Compete, Win. That slogan can be held true in almost any facet of life. Train hard, compete harder, end result, WIN. This is truly the mission statement of Equibrand. Located in Granbury, Texas, they are the umbrella company that represents Classic, Rattler, Classic Equine, Cashel and Martin Saddlery Products. From the top to the bottom, they have “horse people” working on their staff that participates in many different equine disciplines. From roping, to cutting, to barrels, and more, I truly am astonished at how many employees for Equibrand put their daily work efforts into their night and weekend recreation time. They know and believe in their products because they use their products. From support boots, to saddle pads, to ropes, bits, leather goods and more, the men and women at Equibrand, along with some well known Rodeo legends, have a say in how the product is built from start to finish. We all know in the equine world, a fraction of a second can mean the difference between first and second place. And that is also why you can rest assured that any product coming from Equibrand is that intended for a Champion.

I take in abused and unhealthy horses and get them fit and healthy and make them a champion of being alive, and a wonderful friend.

I don't compete myself(I have stage fright) but I train my 9 year old step daughter's horse, my husbands roping horse and enjoy the ride on my daughters retired High School Equestrian Team horse. We venture to as many junior rodeos in the Idaho area. My step daughter runs a consistant 16.1 and has won 6 buckles this last past year and several other prizes from the High Desert Rodeo Association and Shu-fly Arena/SIBRA sponsored events.

I compete like a champion in Parelli Games and Equine Agility with my fabulous Percheron mare. Every ride is a chance to be a better partner and win another piece of her heart!

I don't compete but I love and use Equibrand products for both my Quarterhorses. One is a 29 year old retired mare who still has her spunk and whom I've had for 20 years. The other is a 9 year old gelding who is my best friend and my second partner. I only want what's best for them, they are both my champions!!

I compete with my 11 year old KMSH in my field. i have had a difficult time in winning his affection.I have been working with him for the three years that we have been together and he is still a challenge.He has taught me to look for the small positive changes and I can see those!

I been training my 3 1/2 year old solid paint since I got him back for the trainer who broke him under saddle and got him started and it has been a challenge for him as well as me. I mainly do western/trail and not certain whether I will be competing in shows at this time, but plan for our grandson to show him.

I do not compete anymore, but I still have my 20 year old mare I used to barrel race on. She and I have traveled many many miles, and made even more triple turns together. She has 2 more paddock mates, Smash and Stormy who all enjoy trail riding and pampering. We still used Equibrand products for our everyday riding to assure all of us, (horse and rider) have the best experience possible. These horses are champions in their own right. My champions..

I compete in the southeastern side of the USA in barrelracing. To compare to a champion you need to be a great sport, present yourelf and you horse at the shows dressed professionally . Also, partner up with your horse,and do everything you can to enhance his chances of competing at the best of his abilities.

Every chance I get I compete with my best friend Fierro. We do western events, poles, barrels and equitation. He always makes sure to make me look great!

I compete like a champion with my AQHA gelding, Wrangler. I bought Wrangler when he was just a yearling and this next year he will be five. He and I love to compete in trail competitions in the mountains. We won our first when he was just 3. Even when I am busy with teaching and can't ride, I love to go to the barn and spend time brushing or giving him treats. He is my incredible champion.

My daughter and I have recently bought a weanling and have been working with her daily. Its amazing how the relationship between a horse and human can grow. We participated in a area pinto futurity show and placed very well. It was so exciting. We cant wait for the next show.

I compete like a chanpion as a Special Olympics Equestrian. My horse, Smokey, and I have a great bond. This year in the Indiana Special Olympics Equestrian championships we won gold medals in Showmanship and Western Equitation and a silver medal in Trail Class. Trail class is my favorite. I also like to trail ride on some easy trails. Smokey is a beautiful 27 year old grulla quarter horse. Riding is very important to me and I have been riding for 10 years.

My horse Crash and I compete at local shows in all classes western and english. We also like to compete in shows throughout California and Nevada for reined cow horse. We love Classic Equine products because they keep her back comfy and her legs protected. All I use on Crash is Classic Equine. We work very hard at home and she even does lessons for some of my students. We work hard and play harder and love every minute of it.

I too am retuning to the show ring after a long absence. My daughter can't ride as much as she used to due to college. So I decided that I'd like to give it a try. Our first show, we won halter, showmanship, second in eq, and won horsemanship! It was only an open fun show, but I felt like a World Champion!! I had more fun then I've had in a long time, and can't wait for the next show! Her gelding is getting older, and he would probably really appreciate a bit more padding under the saddle and some additional support for his legs. He's such a good guy to put up with me, and he deserves the royal treatment.

I ride Gymkhana on my mare I got when i was 9. I trained her all by myself and she does very well, ive had people tell me shes not going to be fast or shes going to be too small. People said she would only run AA times her whole life but now She runs top AAA!!! She tries her hardest and so do I and its enjoyable for me and my horse <3 Its not a big deal if we dont win 1st place, not that its not nice! we just enjoy the challenge =)

I train racehorses in New Mexico. My stable pony horse has been with me for 19 years (had my husband for only 9, LoL). He is 22 this year and looks and acts like a 10 year old. He may not be fancy, but he is a champion pony horse and has saved both my bacon and jockeys' lives when a racehorse gets too feisty. We went to a local show this spring (2nd show of his life, 1st was as a 4 yr old) and he placed 2nd in a trail obstacle class against professional show horses. He is my champion!

I just started reining horses this year.I am 15 and I was always afraid of horses, then I bought a 21 year old quarter horse mare who has helped me grow as a rider so much. We have done okay in the show pen and it has been a fun year. Now I am going to ride my new gelding who I know has yet to bring me even further. I am proud of the horse person I have become and excited to see who I have yet to be. My horses are my life.
