Now that I have a new truck...I need Trakehner decals!!! Does anyone know where I can purchase them? I found a neat magnetic bumper sticker on e-bay that says "I love my Trakehner," and has a horse trotting, which I purchased, but I would like something with the breed logo as well. Anyone have any ideas? I know the ATA store used to sell them, but now that it is being handled by an outside company, I did not see decals on the website. I also googled "Trakehner decal" and a few others but did not come up with anything. I would also like a Trakehner license plate cover, but that might be asking for too much
I am very, very excited about the new truck. It is a 2007 Honda Ridgeline RTL with a 5000 pound towing capacity. This year the truck, hopefully next year a horse trailer!!! Maybe in 2009 I can finally take Holly to an inspection.
I think they come from Germany. Maybe the ATA could order them.
I think the ATA outsourced the apparel as it was not cost effective to try to run a retail store. Only a guess.
I went to the Oldenburg Verband young horse symposium in mid-January and there was Kim Tulypan in a sweatshirt from the Trakehner Classic from the '90s when Barbara Sackett and Anita Hunter were very active in SoCal.
I personally like breed logo "stuff" and wear my earrings to any event where someone might recognize the design.
Confinement, or restriction of movement of any kind, is contrary to the horse's nature - after all, he is a creature who is used to running free, moving at will and who equates restriction of any kind to danger.
