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!

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.

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.

Unnamed "Slots" now Available for purchase for Super Series Group Programs!

Dear Valued Customer, GREAT NEWS! In response to requests from our investors, we have added a new enrollment option to our program. Starting now for the 2016 season, horse owners will be allowed to purchase "slots" for unnamed horses at the current enrollment rate. This will help those of you who may have multiple horses at the end of the year or plan to buy horses throughout the season. The following guidelines will apply to all "slots" purchased for unnamed horses:

1. Slots purchased will be non-refundable. Any slots that are unused will stay dedicated to the current year's purse and will not roll over.
2. Once a slot is dedicated, it is in play for the named horse only.
3. Substitutions of horses will not be allowed.
4. Slots may not be sold to another party.

As in the past, you will only be able to participate in the program and the Final Championship with an enrolled horse. Our enrollment form is available on our website, www.superseriesgroup.com or in the horse show office at participating events. Please feel free email us at superseriesgroup@yahoo.com [mailto:superseriesgroup@yahoo.com] or contact Terri Irrer at (313) 310-2106 with any questions you may have. Thank you once again for your participation in the Super Series Group programs!

2015 Final Championship Wrap-Up

Super Series Group Payout Crosses Half Million Dollar Mark After 2015 Texas Pre-Green and Texas Hunter Breeding Final Championships!

 

The 2015 Super Series Group programs wrapped up Friday night with the fourth annual Texas Pre-Green Final Championship, launching the Super Series Group's Texas Pre-Green program's payout over the Half a Million Dollar mark.

First annual Texas Hunter Breeding Final Champions were crowned in four divisions to yearlings, two year olds, and three year olds on the line, as well as the three year old freestyle performance horses and topped off by a ringside brunch, sponsored by Olde Oaks Farm. The inaugural event was very well attended and awarded more than $16,500 in payout.

Best Young Horse honors were awarded to LF Eau My, owned by Mary Jane Todd-Day and handled by Rob Moyar, while Regence, owned by Colleen McQuay, bred by Amanda Taylor, and ridden by Hannah Evans, took the $7,500 Three year old Freestyle Performance class.

Web casted live for the second year in a row, the fourth annual Texas Pre-Green Final Championship was enjoyed both at Great Southwest Equestrian Center and worldwide via superseriesgroup.com. The $28,500 prize money brought the Super Series Group over the significant half million dollar payout mark for the program, with plans of reaching the million dollar mark within the next few years. Will Roberts aboard Alta Basaldua's Farrah bested the field with an impressive composite score of 179. Sponsors enjoyed a beautiful ringside dinner provided by Great Southwest Equestrian Center, sponsored by Ralph & Audry Gates. First annual sire bonuses were awarded to leading sires of both Texas Hunter Breeding Final Championship contestants and Texas Pre-Green Final Championship contestants. Enrolled sires Shine and Cabana both earned paychecks, with a total of $2,100 paid to nominators cumulatively.

Year-end series leading bonuses were given in both the Texas Pre-Green and Texas Hunter Breeding Super Series. Leading Texas Pre-Green rider Peter Pletcher earned over $23,000 during the 2015 season. One of Pletcher's mounts, Romeo, owned by Shadyside Farm, was leading horse with annual earnings of nearing $7,000. Leading owner honors went to MTM Farm, earning nearly $9,000 this year. Take2 Second Chance Thoroughbred Incentive provided bonuses to leading owner and rider of the Texas Pre-Green Series' leading Thoroughbred, Top Cat, owned by Jo Jo White and ridden by Stacie Goodson.

Amongst Texas Hunter Breeding enrollees, LF Eau My took leading yearling, Naquita, owned by Debra Gaffey, was the leading two year old, and High Shine, owned by Olde Oaks Farm, took leading three year old honors. Super Series Group partners Colleen McQuay, Patrick Rodes, Pauline Cook, and Peter Pletcher extend their sincere gratitude to all of those who have participated in and supported the Texas Pre-Green and new Texas Hunter Breeding programs. The success of their programs is largely due to the fantastic support of the Hunter industry!
