I thought that there was only one in Louisville KY

Looks like they have quite a few locations, but Louisville is the headquarters.

Wiz - I looked at the Thoroughbred website but they do not list any pricing.  Is their pricing comparable to W&C and the other popular leather suppliers?  I see they have a location in Augusta, Ga - not too far from me.

I don't know anything about other locations for Thoroughbred than Kentucky. But they are part of a group of companies belong to Tasman, one of the largest hide brokers anywhere. Thoroughbred is an old school, wholesale leather tannery business (not for hobbyists). You call on the telephone and talk to one of the people running the business. If they don't answer, leave a message with your name and phone number. You get the details on the phone, prices on the phone and place your order on the phone. Once you are on- file in their system, all you do is call and order what you want. Not all weights are in stock at all times. You may have to wait for them to receive the tanned and finished leather of that color and thickness.

Ask for long backs if you make belts, as there is less waste and no belly to throw out. Some backs I get exceed 105 inches with one reaching an incredible 110 inches from the butt to neck!

PM me for the phone number.

If you are a wholesale customer with Weaver, you can buy Thoroughbred bridle leather from them. It is slightly more expensive, but usually in stock.
