Full Circle: Reconnecting With The Pacific Northnorthwest Through Healthy Leather
When my former business partner and close friend Linda Lamprecht asked Jen and I if we would make a special batch of Healthy Leather for USEA’s Area VII Adult Rider camp’s gift baskets, our answer was a resounding “YES PLEASE”. Being able to add our product to gift baskets alongside so many fantastic companies was an opportunity not to be missed.

When Linda told me about Camp and followed up with her vision for 3 tack cleaning parties spread over the 2024 eventing season, I knew I wanted Healthy Leather to be a part of the fun. My own ties to the area have had me eager to find a way to introduce Healthy Leather to the Pacific Northwest and this seemed a perfect opportunity.
Tack And Tacos
In May, the first party debuted as Tack and Tacos, with Linda’s husband Eric taking position behind the grill. Having attended a few Lamprecht parties, I’m sure the food was delicious as the company, A plethora of people were able to try Healthy Leather, and prepare for the weekend while socializing.
Healthy Leather And The Pacific Northwest?
I met Linda in 2002 and our separate visions of a business partnership quickly aligned. With a shared background in Pony Club, we created a program that focused on horsemanship and stable management skills as much as it focused on developing skilled riders. For years Linda and I worked together as Full Circle Farms LLC. While we did boarding and training, our school horse program was our real baby. At our busiest we hosted as many as a dozen lesson horses and 3 assistant instructors. The salad years, as they say.
I absolutely loved teaching and training in Oregon. For a decade I called Oregon home, and in that time I must have taught hundreds of kids and adults on lesson horses. The equestrian community in the PNW holds a special place in my heart for it’s distinctive comradery and fellowship between horse lovers of all disciplines and breeds.
Coming Full Circle. Again.
The long and the short of it is that I can’t wait for Healthy Leather to be available to the horse community that supported Linda and I and our vision of Full Circle Farms. It’s perfect for the PNW climate. Healthy Leather is premium leather care that perfectly balances cleaning and conditioning into one simple step, which saves a lot of time on those rainy, muddy days.
What’s Next for HL In Area VII
Now you know about our connection. And you’re probably eager to know when the next tack cleaning party will be. Linda just let me know that Bridles and Bratwurst will be happening on August 2, the Friday night before the Young Rider Benefit H.T. at Caber Farm happening August 3-4. Rumors of a dress code indcluding lederhosen have been greatly over exaggerated. They are 100% voluntary.
