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.

My horses and I compete like champions in Las Vegas, Nevada by improving as a team each ride.

I compete like a champion every chance I get. There is no greater challenge than to brush the caked up mud out of a horses coat, mane, and tail before you can even get started on your adventure with them. I love to trail ride at the Natchez Trace National Park in Tennessee it is so peaceful and uplifting. My horses have shown me that no matter how many times and how hard you fall You still have to get back up and try again.

This year my daughter convinced me to compete on the barrel horse she had outgrown. He is too slow for her, but I am a pleasure horse rider and have no need for speed. I was a good sport and did this one time. I had to endure alot of teasing about how I thought I was breaking a land speed record when, in fact, I was only doing a fast lope. Thankfully the horse has moved on to a more suitable rider. An 8 year old girl that is probably going faster than I did! A happy ending to my barrel racing career, I hope.

In WA, I compete in speed events on Ada and Sophie; I wouldn't take the chance of running them without their Legacy boots!!

I compete like a champion every time I attend my local shows by helping out as much as I can. Showing is a stressful time, especially for people that are first timers or new to the world, I like to make them all feel welcomed. Showing isn't always about placing first, it's doing the best you can, in the rind as well as outside of it.

I bought my horse when I lost my breasts to cancer at age 30. It helped me compete against the cancer. Gave me a reason to live. When I'm on my horses back, playing with him on the ground or hanging out in my hammock in his stall it reminds me of how fortunate I am to have won my battle with breast cancer 8 yrs ago. There's nothing like the relationship between man (woman) and their four legged soulmate.

I compete at the regional level on my western pleasure Arabians and hope for the Nationals in 2012!

I compete like a champion with my 4 horses at home. I used to own a Reining stud, who is, actually, a World Champion. He always wore Classic Equine!
I ride my personal horses for fun... they are part of our family. I love them dearly. And I'm glad, that I'm able to outfit them with such fine products.

I compete like a champion every day at work helping those with mental illness overcome the stimga against mental health disabilities so prevalent in our society, and helping them overcome the barriers presented by their illness. They are the true champions! Equine wise - I'm a champion and weekend warrior of trails across GA, AL and TN!!

My 3 yr old Stallion, Andy, and I compete in confirmation, working cow horse classes, handy ranch and reining. Next year we are going to be members of the Sherrif's Mounted Division and compete in Xtreme Cowboy Races. Andy is one of the bravest most confident horses I have ever ridden. He always competes like a champ whether it's in the arena or on the trail! I help him compete like a champ by enusring he is physically and mentally fit prior to each competition.

I COMPETE EVERYDAY WITH MY ARAB MANZANNAH (APPLE) I USED TO BE VERY AFRAID OF HIM. HE HAS EARNED MY TRUST AND DEFINETLY DESERVES THE BEST! ONLY THE CLASSIC EQUINE FROM EQUIBRAND WILL DO!

Me and my horse compete like a champion in the Central Valley of California in trail trials. Good tack makes for a comfortable and focused equine partner. Thank you for your quality products that help us make it to the winner's circle.

I compete on DC my barrel horse and Arby my paint horse on poles, they love sharing the only Classic Equine pad we have we travel around the midwest and sometimes venture to the south when able!!

I compete like a champion almost every weekend. We are going somewhere almost every weekend. If it is not a barrel race we are showing team penning and ranch sorting. We enjoy our horses very much and spend a lot of time with them, and also enjoy alot of family time on the road. We show in AQHA, NBHA, IBRA, and my daughter is in high school rodeo.

I compete across West Tn, and a couple of big AQHA shows a year. Just got back from Congress and NAILE!! I run barrels and poles and have a western pleasure horse to start showing next year!!! I compete like a champion by having a positive outlook on every run (even the bad ones) and encourage other around me! I use all Classic Equine products!!!
Posted by: Lynleigh Butler | Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 08:58 AM
I compete like a champion across West Texas and Southeastern NM, team roping on my huge sorrel heading horse and my cute foundation bred heeling horse!
Posted by: Frances Gard-Williams | Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 08:40 AM
We are champions any time we enter the arena or hit the trails. I give them the best I can afford and they give me all they have. The complete my life.

I compete as a champion in New England, where the weather here can sometimes be a competion on its own. But I compete to the best of my ability in reining and western pleasure and having the best products to use on my horses is wonderful. Thanks Classic Equine!

I compete like a champion everyday in life! I take care of my family and friends both two and four legged. When one is in special need of my attention I go to great lengths to make sure they are not lacking for anything necessary. I have a very special horse who twice has had problems that I was told, by a vet, she would not recover from. But through lots of research and herbal and vitamin therapy, several years later she is still going strong, even had a foal this year!
