The National Reining Horse Association is welcoming Pard’s Western Shop into their Corporate Partner family. Pard’s will be the “Official and Exclusive Saddle Provider of the NRHA” and the title sponsor of the NRHA Regional Affiliate Saddle Series beginning Jan. 1.
“I believe our saddle is a good fit with the NRHA organization and consumer,” said Mark Butzow, Vice President of Pard’s Western Shop. “I think our corporate partnership with the NRHA will increase our saddle credibility as well as our tack and Western wear.”
Incorporated in 1968, this family-owned and family-operated business offers a complete line of tack and Western clothing in Illinois.
Pard’s will be sponsoring 61 saddles to various NRHA events annually. These events include the Pard’s Regional Affiliate Saddle Series, the NRHA Derby, the NRHA Futurity & Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships, the NRHA European Affiliate Championship, the Rookie of the Year and the World Champions.
Pard’s also supplied the 2005 NRHA Futurity award saddles and will supply the 2005 NRHA World Champion saddles.
“We think NRHA is a growing organization with quality people,” said Butzow, who owns reining horses. “We hope to gain more exposure and expand into a broader market through our partnership with NRHA.”
Pard’s products are available for purchase on line, through their catalog and through two Pard’s stores located in Urbana, Illinois, and Milan, Illinois.
