Circle Y Saddles, Inc. Acquires Reinsman

 

YOAKUM, Texas (June 8, 2012): Circle Y Saddles, Inc., America’s Leading Saddle Brand, has acquired the business operations of Reinsman Equestrian Products effective May 31, 2012.

 

The addition of the Reinsman brand follows Circle Y’s commitment to expand its market presence in saddles, tack and related accessories.  The Reinsman brand will continue to be marketed and sold independently of the Circle Y family of brands which also includes High Horse saddles and Tucker Trail saddles.

The Reinsman brand was established in 1993 by Glen Taylor and Bob Brandon, originally manufacturing quality handmade stainless steel bits in Cleveland, TN.   In 1995 the product line was expanded with the addition of saddle pads, and a line of leather strap goods was added in 1998.  In 2002, Reinsman started a new line of western saddles.  Looking for a skilled and experienced workforce of saddle craftsmen, Reinsman established their saddle factory in Yoakum, Texas, also home to the Circle Y, High Horse, and Tucker brands.

Speaking on behalf of the entire Circle Y and Tucker Saddlery family, I am excited that we have successfully added the Reinsman brand to our offering of high quality products.  We appreciate the value of the Reinsman brand and the contributions the company has made to our industry.  I have recently come to know many key members of the Reinsman team.  They share my desire to provide excellent products and service to our dealers and end users.  As we move forward together, I am confident they will continue to play an important role in our combined efforts to create innovative products and protect American manufacturing jobs,” said Steve Tucker, President of Circle Y Saddles, Inc.

“I look forward to meeting everyone on the Reinsman team, and I look forward to working with these great people to continuously strengthen the brand as we move forward,” said Mark Jemelka, chief operating officer of Circle Y Saddles.

Circle Y Saddles, Inc. is America’s Leading Saddle Brand. Circle Y’s innovative products reflect the current trends in design and are ahead of the industry in technology. Circle Y started saddle manufacturing in 1960 in the small Texas town of Yoakum. Still located there, Circle Y continues to produce high quality saddles and tack with the heritage and tradition the company was founded on. Circle Y saddles and tack are sold through a network of authorized dealers; visit www.circley.com to learn more.

Working with Scott Thomas, the Performance Product Line Manager of Circle Y, UC Roping will help design the Ultimate Calf Roping saddle engineered to fit today’s calf roping horse and competitor.  The saddle will be available for purchase through the Circle Y authorized dealer network nationwide. 

 

“I am so excited to have Circle Y Saddles and the Ultimate Calf Roping partner up to develop the Ultimate Calf Roping saddles. I roped calves professionally and know how important the saddle is to make sure your horse performs at its best. I am teaming up with Hogg Saddle Tree company and Precision Saddle Tree company to provide the trees for these saddles. Our goal is to develop an affordable, custom, hand-made calf saddle with the best possible tree and materials out there in the market. I look forward to showcasing these saddles at the Finals in 2012,” said Thomas.

 

Circle Y is proud to have Scott Thomas on the team.  It comes as no surprise that he should be the one to develop the Ultimate Calf Roping Saddles. His knowledge should prove to be a valuable asset in this endeavor,” said Mark Jemelka, Chief Operating Officer of Circle Y Saddles, Inc.

Clinics are fun and active, with a focus on bridging naturalhorsemanship techniques with the principles of classical riding. Julie's teachings are focused on finding success and improvement for each and everyhorse and rider by developing a deeper understanding of the horse and riding skills that lead to a balanced and rhythmic rider and a light and responsive horse. Clinics are Saturday and Sunday, 9-5, and there are a maximum of fifteen riders in the clinic. Expect to work together in the arena all day, doing both ground work and mounted work, with a focus on refining riding skills and developing a better relationship with your horse. All ability levels are welcome as long as the rider has basic control at the walk and trot. Each rider works at his/her own pace without pressure to go outside you or your horse’s comfort zone. You may bring two horses if you want to; the only additional charge is for stalling. Click here for a detailed PDF: http://juliegoodnight.com/images/clinicprep.pdf
