NEW & NOTEWORTHY Kerrits’ New Side Pass Pocket Breech Works as Hard as You Do New for Spring 2018, the Side Pass Pocket Breech is like the women who wear them — feminine and hard working. “I absolutely love the new Grip-soft™ patch fabric that Kerrits is of-fering on this breech,” says Kerrits team rider Jessica Heidemann. “It’s extremely soft and supple, moving with you, and letting you forget that you’re wearing a full seat breech. It also has that perfect amount of grip to add security in the saddle without making you feel stuck in place.” Designed in a modern silhouette, this sporty breech features a slimming design and stylish contrast stitching. The flattering lines are combined with a more structured style, providing compression, hold and coverage; while the dura-ble, high-performance stretch woven fabric gives you lightweight comfort. Multiple easy-access pockets with a front zip and snaps, plus a wider waistband, offer an athletic look whether you’re in the saddle or working around the barn. Available in knee patch or full seat styling and offered in 4 colors: charcoal, lupine, spice, or black. Sizes XS to XL. www.kerrits.com 5th Annual Melanie Christianson Memorial Barrel Race • August 11, 2018 Wouldn’t you like to help clients of Pushing Boundaries regain independent functions and abilities? You can. Become a sponsor for the Annual Fundraiser Barrel Race! We are reaching out in search of sponsors for our 5th annual event, scheduled for August 11, 2018 at Green River Saddle Club in Auburn, Washington. At 28 years old, Melanie Christianson incurred a spi-nal cord injury while riding at a competition in June of 2010. After two months in Harborview Medical Center, Melanie found independence and inspiration through Pushing Boundaries. Pushing Boundaries is a non-profit rehabilitation fa-cility in Redmond, WA that provides physical therapy and personal training using equipment, techniques, and technology designed to improve the quality of life for individuals who have suffered various neurological injuries. The help of this wonderful organization allowed Melanie to ride again, before her unexpected passing in August of 2013. Over the past four years this fundraiser has grown each year. We have raised approximately $20,000 in Melanie’s name. We would like to request your participation and support in this incredible fundraiser via sponsorships, cash or silent auction donations of either products, services, or gift cards to be used in our silent auction. You may also participate by being a sponsor at several different levels. All proceeds from this fundrais-ing event benefit Pushing Boundaries.
