At Mountain Leather Co., I believe in the power of collaboration and the magic of equestrian sports.
Through sponsorships, I aim to support and uplift individuals, events, and teams that share my passion for the equestrian world.
Whether you’re an individual rider aiming for the stars, an event that celebrates equestrian and canine prowess, or a team with shared goals, I offer a range of sponsorship opportunities tailored to fit diverse needs.
As a craftsman deeply embedded in the equestrian community, I understand the dedication, hard work, and passion it takes. When you partner with Mountain Leather Co., you’re not just getting a sponsor; you’re joining a family that values tradition, craftsmanship, and the love for equestrian sports.
Hi, I’m Gaby, a barrel racer residing outside Hay Lakes Alberta! I’ve had horses around since I was little but graduated from backcountry pack strings to performance horses and haven’t looked back! I currently run my big blonde OTTB mare “Woodbridge Miss” affectionately known as Blondie, B or the Bonecrusher. Her and I mostly barrel race but enjoy a good trail ride and working cows when we can. This year we’re planning on a bunch of bigger races along with a few smaller series and can’t wait to see how our year goes! My favorite Mountain Leather Co product has to be Dani’s nosebands! They’re so customizable to each horse and the amount of detail is crazy. I’m so looking forward to representing the Mountain Leather Co brand this season and have plans as always to add more pieces to my collection! Happy 2025 🙂
Hi! My name is Tammy Thankachen, I am an owner/instructor at my dojo (Oku Damashi Martial Arts) where I teach ages 3-67 Karate. I am a 5th Degree Black Belt in Karate, a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Kobudo (weapons) and a 2nd Degree Black in the Kurama Yama Kickboxing System. My passion is teaching obedience (pet and sport) at Ultimate K9 Bodyguards in Calgary, AB I find it very rewarding to help people build a bond with their dog and help them achieve success in having a happy, engaged, controlled K9. I spend my free time training and working alongside my 4 year old Belgian Malinois KNOXX. We compete across the world in a competitive dog sport called PSA (Protection Sports Association) and have been doing so for 8 years. The sport consist of controlled surprise obedience and controlled surprise protection routines. We compete at a regional and national level and we choose to wear collars from Dani at Mountain Leather Co! I would like to say how incredibly honoured and proud I am to be able to represent this amazing company and brand! To be apart of the team at Mountain Leather Co is something I take on with a full heart as I absolutely love and stand behind Dani’s work! ♥️ I want to add that Dani at Mountain Leather Co has such an amazing talent and beautiful creations in leatherwork and they are second to none! The customer service is exceptional! Her custom work can make your dreams come true and I highly recommend her for any leather work you need done. Collars, leashes, anything for horses and their riders, jewelry…you name it she will make it come alive! Her products also make such special, treasured gifts! I am really looking forward to the 2025 season showcasing the uniqueness and gorgeous work that Dani creates!
