Bruno Delgrange Sponsors Saddle for 2016 Texas Pre-Green Super Stake Series Leading Rider!
Bruno Delgrange Athena
As a first-time sponsor of the Super Series Group's Texas Pre-Green Super Stake Series, Bruno Delgrange has come on board as a supporter of the series, offering a saddle to be given to the 2016 Texas Pre-Green Super Stake Series Leading Rider! With the opportunity to select the model of their choice in the grain calf leather, Leading Rider will have the option to choose from all four models offered by Bruno: Rivoli (Very Flat), Athena (Flat), Partition (Mid Deep), and Virtuous (Deep). Bruno Delagrange offers two types of leather, grain calf and full calf. Various seat and flap sizes are built to fit the rider's needs, and choices are offered in blocks and knee roll sizes. Logo Color on the flap is a great custom option, offering many different color choices for riders who like to add a little pop of color! Since 1976, Bruno Delgrange Saddles has founded itself on technology, balance, comfort, aesthetic, and durability. Mr. Delgrange has trained all his own master saddlers to uphold the finest materials to create exceptional products. Bruno Delgrange draws his inspiration from the horses themselves, giving free rein to his creativity. Bruno Delgrange saddles have become a reference point for the industry thanks to their models which are constantly being developed to maximize balance and freedom of movement for horses. Mr. Delgrange is a qualified riding teacher and high-level competitor. He originally studied Veterinary science, but he became interested in the work of Saddlers. He studied at the prestigious leather work brand Faubourf in Saint Honore, Paris. Mr. Delgrange has set himself apart from the other saddles brands with hands-on expertise for what horse and rider both need for optimum performance. The Delgrange brand is made in France and its workshop is dedicated exclusively to manufacturing all of Bruno Delgrange products.
Robin Walker-Tucker
Texas (and surrounding states) Area Representative, Robin Walker-Tucker, has loved Bruno Delgrange Saddles from a young age. "I have always loved the logo and everything about the [Bruno] brand. I grew up riding in the saddles and have a 1988 Bruno Delgrange saddle. I bought it used when I was 14 years old in 1989 from Kenny at Quail Hollow Tack at the Cedarwood Horse Show. I still have the saddle to this day and it is still in great condition! I currently ride in the Rivoli model (very flat seat) with small blocks and thin knee rolls," Robin said. "Getting to work for Bruno Delgrange has been a great experience! It is a great company to work for and has become my dream job," she continued. To order a saddle, contact Robin at 214-384-1486 or robin@delgrangesaddles.com. For those outside of Texas and the surrounding states, Bruno Delgrange offers Representatives throughout North America.

Don't Forget- Stallion Ownership NOT Required to be Texas Hunter Sire Nominator! Nominators of sires are NOT required to be sire owners, and bonus money based on the performance of enrolled sires' get in the Texas Pre-Green and Texas Hunter Breeding Final Championships is paid directly to nominators! Producers of the successful Texas Pre-Green Super Stake Series, the Super Series Group partners introduced the Texas Hunter Sire and Texas Hunter Breeding Programs in 2015. The Sire Program marries the two competitive programs to reward sire nominators and promote Hunter sires, not required to be based in Texas. In an effort to promote Hunter and Jumper breeding in Texas and throughout the United States, the Super Series Group will promote enrolled stallions via their website, e-newsletters, and social media outlets from the time of enrollment through the end of the program season. Stallion bonuses will be paid to the nominators of the sires of top eligible offspring in the Texas Pre-Green and Texas Hunter Breeding Final Championships. Stallion owners and nominators are encouraged to suggest program enrollment for offspring of enrolled sires, as enrollment will serve as a benefit to both sire and offspring.
