| Looks like it is and they dropped Charmayne's bit line. The "Futurity" bit collection has ones that were hers as well. Both collections have ones similar to Ed's as well. |

I just realized they dropped her pads, bits and everything according to the 2014 catalog |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I went to her website. Nothing said about bits but under the pads there was this note.
Coming in 2014 Charmayne James Brand 11 Saddle Pads |

| Yes. Grasshopper. That is all. I am all about the new Comfort Fit "Limelight" and "Sparkle" pads. 1/2" air ride core on the comfort fit pattern with either a felt or a wool bottom, but a tiny bit bigger than the CJ Electra or Razzle Dazzle pad. Those never fit under my saddle right...these fit great. |

I hated any of the Pro Choice pads. I`m a 5 Star girl. Only commented because it looks like she doesnt have sponsorship with PC anymore. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | No more PC for Charmayne. All her bits AND Saddles to be made by Reinsman. At the time I spoke to them, the brown iron is out and all stainless steel but will be the same type of bits. Also Lindsay Sears will be added to the line. Lots of changes. |

Holy smokes. Thanks for the heads up. Will be interesting to see what they come up with. Since Reinsman makes saddles I'm wondering what CJ will do about that? I hope she sticks with Cactus. |

I just re-read your post and she is leaving Cactus. That really shocks me. I've never been a fan of the quality of Reinsman products. |

Location: The South | Interesting, thanks for sharing! I've wanted to try one but there was no way in heck I was gonna pay $200 for a bit if I didn't know for sure that my horse will like it. Now I can try it, thanks! |

I was shocked too as she was with Pro Choice for a very long time. I wish I could see the bits but none were available to see but they said all styles. Yes Reinsman is making her saddles now and I saw a few and they looked really nice, different styles, long skirts, regular, round skirts, looked good. I'm interested in the Lindsay Sears line which will come out in late Spring - saddles, tack and bits. |

She was with pro choice since the late 80s, wasn't she? I remember an ad talking about using their quick wrap bell boots on Scamper. |

I picked to stay at 27. Not sure why, it just sounds a little less likely that I'd be lying since its not a nice round figure. Then someone asked me how I can have a 20 yr old daughter and be 27. UUffff that's a tough one.
Yes CJ has been with PC forever! I hated the pads so won't miss anything there. Her bit line isnt really that old though. I know I was at one of her clinics in 06 and I want to say they came out with them shortly after that. She didn't even talk about them at that clinic so must have been in the secretive stages. I'm very anxious to see the saddles but it will be hard to get me switched over. I have 2 Cactus and am sold on them. |

Yes will be very interesting to see what Lindsey has to bring to the table! If Lindsey is late spring when is CJ's coming out? |
