STARTING THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT!
Tony Court and Sharon working
together to manufacture quality saddles!
For me, organization is critical and having a clear path is important. My New Year’s resolutions come in the form of establishing short, medium, and long range goals, each of which help me with daily decision-making.
Establishing goals comes through not only planning, but also trusting my intuition. Goals are not hasty resolutions, designed to be short lived and unsuccessful. They are commitments and dictate my lifestyle. Knowing where I’m headed today, this month and for my life, helps me feel I am in control of my destiny. With God’s help, success is inevitable.
Though the economy remains very disconcerting, it also reminds me that it is an important time to tighten our belts and chose a discriminating direction for our lives to progress. Identifying our personal goals, no matter how unrealistic they may seem at the time, only contributes to efficient directions and rewarding results.
The same goals should be set with our riding and competition. Increased expenses make choices most important for the average competitor. After all, it is a small percentage of riders that make up the professional sector. Throughout my competitive career, I trained myself to believe that without a win this week, I would not have the resources to enter next week. After 40 years, passionately involved in the horse industry, I stand as an example that choosing your competitions wisely, and making each run count, is the route to success.
Efficient performance begins at home. Start by reorganizing your tack room. Maybe it's time to put some of that old equipment on Ebay, and replace it with more efficient resources. I know for myself, I have racks of bridles and bits that I will never use again. Somebody else can get some use of them and free your space up for more effective equipment.
How about saddles? We have some beautiful new designs from Court's Saddlery. 2010 marks the 35th year that I have worked with the Court's family to produce the Sharon Camarillo Saddle. I am as thrilled today with the fit and design, as I was when I opened the box on my first prototype. Courts is a 3rd generation saddle manufacturer who takes pride not only in design, but quality. Though a small company in Bryan Texas, Court's Saddlery continues to make truly one of the best production saddles on the market.
Blaine McIntyre has been with Court’s Saddlery as a Sales Rep for almost as long as I have designed for the company. If it's time for a new saddle or if there are any questions you have about saddle options, contact Blaine.

One of my goals has always been to endorse and design quality equipment, combining good value and excellent results. It's also important to me that you can order all of my products easily and get great customer service. To this end, watch for a new Camarillo product ordering resource coming soon!
