Mathilde1981 Report post Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Hello there! I'm Mathilde and live in the Netherlands. I run a moderate sized tack store and do custom work and repairs. We import western tack and other products mostly from the the US. I do mostly custom spur straps, trophy tack and most common repairs. I have been a quiet reader for years. And this forum has saved me more times then I can count on both hands when I was on the edge of desperation. So thank you very much for all the knowledge and wisdom that is being shared here. I hope I can contribute some myself. Edited July 24, 2019 by Mathilde1981 Typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We only represent about 2 percent off the total equestrian sport here. Reining being the most professional and growing off all options available to people. The world has become very small because of the internet so people know what they want and where to get it. And traveling to big events in the US is much cheaper then it was.Very different then when I started over 15 years ago when people where over the moon when you had some circle y tack available.
