Boulet,
APHA put hard work to the test at World Show
|
FORT
WORTH, Texas-Hard-working Paint Horse owners know the importance
of a durable boot, which is why Boulet and the American Paint Horse
Association (APHA) are a perfect match.
Boulet
Western Boots, which has been in business for three generations,
has agreed to partner with the APHA in support of this year's World
Championship Paint Horse for the second year in a row.
The
company, based in Saint Tite, Canada, produces some of the highest
quality footwear for customers who are heavily involved in the ranching
and horse business.
"Our
realization is that the people we are making boots for are those
who live the Western lifestyle," said Andy Rees, regional sales
manager for the United States. "That's why our boots continue
to get better. The people who buy our boots really use them."
Rees
stressed that teaming up with APHA has given credibility to Boulet
because its members know good quality and use the boots for their
intended purpose-hard work.
Also,
Boulet has remained a family company throughout its 70 years, much
like APHA. This has allowed the company to continuously improve
on its products and not sacrifice quality for cost savings, Rees
said.
"APHA's
members are keenly aware of quality in the products they use with
their Paint Horses, whether its ranching or riding, and Boulet sets
the standard for the kind of product they like to use," said
APHA Executive Secretary Jim Kelley. "We're proud to have them
be a part of our World Show again this year."
