KnR Arabian's El Gato

Borrowed from blog on Iowa Gold Star Futurity website, thank you Kelly!

Russ and I met [Corcel] when we were up at Region X with the Gold Star Booth. [They] had a booth set up displaying custom made horse blankets, sheets, coolers, etc. We were especially interested in the unique design because of the special lining he puts on the inside of their sheets. It's a really soft (like ultrasuede) feeling material. We also liked the fact that the patent pending design substantially reduces pressure and rubbing at key points on the horse's body. Their fabric stretches as well, so it moves with the horse. [Corcel] also told us that it keeps moisture away from the horse, keeping the coat dry in any climate. We had a little show coming up in a couple weeks and needed some new sheets for the horses we were taking so we asked him if he could make us up three by show time. --- No problem! he said. We placed the order (....and might I add -- they have VERY REASONABLE prices for custom work AND personalized embroidery!!) I had the sheets in about a week. VERY fast delivery. They looked and felt wonderful.

We had decided to pull our stallion, Bey Shahn, out of retirement and stick him on the trailer for the heck of it to enter him in Liberty one last time at this show. The night before the show, Russ sprayed Shahn down with Show Sheen and flipped the new Corcel sheet on him. The next day Shahn's coat shined like a brand new copper penny. I have NEVER seen that horse's coat look that bright and shiny. Of course Shahn blew everybody watching him away and he won the Liberty class hands down. Russ had several people follow him back to the stalls asking him what we used to get Shahn's coat that shiny. What kind of feed did we use? What shampoo? Well, the biggest surprise they got was that Russ hadn't even washed Shahn that weekend. He brushed him down.... Show Sheened him.... threw that blanket on him..... and figured he was good to go. Russ honestly believes that blanket worked as a buffer, shining up his coat all night as he wore it.

I'm gonna tell you guys --- CORCEL --- don't forget the name. They'll have a booth at the show displaying their products. Go check them out and feel the inside of these blankets. These blankets are the best that I've ever owned. We're planning on getting Shahn a new winter CORCEL blanket as well now. If their sheets are this good -- their winter blankets have to be as well. I'll let you guys in on anther little secret........ [Corcel] has agreed to donate one of their CORCEL sheets to be awarded to the Most Classic Champion this year. They're going to be giving us a black sheet with the Gold Star Champion logo embroidered on it. WOW!! Whoever wins this is going to be a believer. All it takes is for you to buy one and put it on your horse. They fit like gloves.
