Ivory Pal Goes Bitless!

I am the proud owner and best friend of Ivory Pal, Tennessee Walker Stallion.  We are blessed that Ivory Pal has developed a very strong following among horse enthusiasts throughout the country, due to his success in the show ring and his appearances at parades, exhibitions, and performances at high profile events.  Although now retired from the show ring, Ivory Pal accumulated the below titles and awards during his illustrious two-year show career: 

-   2005 and 2004 Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) National Horse of the Year

-   2005 North American Pleasure Gaited Horse Championships High Point Grand Champion
 
-   2005 North American Pleasure Gaited Horse Championships English Working Trail Pleasure Champion

-   2005 North American Pleasure Gaited Horse Championships Western Working Trail Pleasure Reserve Champion

-   2005 and 2004 FOSH Southeastern U. S. Grand Champion

Ivory Pal has entertained spectators at various events by performing to choreographed music where he displays his natural gaits, rearing on command, half passes, side passes, piaffe, levad, and bowing.  He has even performed bridleless and in April 2007, Ivory Pal made his Bitless Bridle debut while performing at Equifest 2007!  Ivory Pal, as well as all our horses, are all ridden with your Bitless Bridle and we have cleaned our tack room of all the bits.  At all events and shows, Ivory Pal is clearly a crowd favorite and pleaser, he is always kept busy posing for pictures and handing out his "autographed" pictures for his fans.  We regularly receive e-mails from Ivory Pal's large and rapidly growing fan club. 

Ivory Pal has been featured in several magazines, newspapers, and websites.  Ivory Pal has graced the cover of the 2006 Summer issue of Equus Caballus magazine, where his story, "The Road Less Traveled," was featured.  Ivory Pal's Cinderella story will also be featured in the October 2007 issue of "Horse Capital Digest" through an article titled, "The Power of One."  Ivory Pal has been referred to as the "poster boy of the modern Tennessee Walking Horse" by the highly respected The Gaited Horse Magazine.  He is also the ambassador for Omega Horseshine and Seminole/Spillers Feed Company.  He has been photographed by world renown equine photographer, Bob Langrish, who will be using pictures of Ivory Pal in his calendars, books, and other publications.

I guess people are attracted to Ivory Pal because of his beauty, charisma and Cinderella story.  Before we found him, Ivory Pal was kept in a stall 24/7 that was cleaned out only once a week.  Additionally, Ivory Pal was subject to harsh "traditional" training techniques found in some circles of the Tennessee Walking Horse training barns and was not considered show or champion material because he did not respond to those "traditional" training methods. 
From Ivory Pal's bitless performance at Equifest 2007, we received several e-mails from people inquiring about our success with your Bitless Bridle, to which I gladly responded and gave rave reviews about your product and referred them to your website.  During the upcoming Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 season, Ivory Pal is scheduled to perform at several events, which he will do bitless.
