The Charmayne James Saddle Pad Sweepstakes entrants were challenged to find 4 new color combinations for Professional’s Choice’s new “Illusion” Barrel Pad series. The new saddle pads were designed in a special new size, with the specific needs of barrel racers in mind. Due to the overwhelming response, 6 pad color combinations were chosen beyond the original 4.

“Professional’s Choice has always looked to it’s customers for input and innovations that continue to help reshape the equestrian industry. This contest was no different. Feedback from our customers reflected that a new Navajo barrel racing pad in this unique size was needed, it was only natural to look to this group to finalize the colors, as in the end, they’re the ones we’re creating it for. The result was a great new pad not seen on the market until now, with stylish new colors.” – Monty Crist, General Manager of Professional’s Choice.

The contest received thousands of entries from all across the United States and Canada. Winners were chosen at random and consisted of four grand prize winners that were outfitted head to heels and nose to tail in Professional’s Choice products. Winners will also be treated to a 4-day Charmayne James Clinic. 25 additional winners were selected to receive their choice of a Charmayne James Saddle Pad and a Charmayne James Instructional video.
