 Video Transcript:

Hi there, it's Jill from Malvern Saddlery and I am going to give you my personal invitation to save the dates.

The dates are the 18th to the 24th of this month. That's next week. I'm talking to you because those dates are really important. 

It's National Safety Week.

Everybody that deals with us at Malvern Saddlery knows that safety is our number one priority and that's year-round, not just on special days.

These days are special because they give you an opportunity to save, which only happens once a year.

The manufacturers release the retailers to offer a discount for those days to increase your awareness and check your equipment.

This is the time to do it. Everyone's coming off of a long show season, coming off of a hot summer.

HELMET CHECK TIPS:  If you're riding around and your helmet is down here and you have to do this in order to see your fences, you need a new helmet.

You ladies with your beautiful long hair, if you're riding around and your helmet is going up as you're going around the ring, you need a new helmet.

 Those of you who've had a helmet for more than three years and you ride often, you need a new helmet.

So these are things that you need to check. This is the most important piece of equipment that you have.

In addition, our air vests will be on sale and our safety stirrups, which you see some in the front here, will be on sale.

This is a very big opportunity for a very short period of time but we’re here for you. We want to help you.

Support your local tack stores. All of our, all of your tack stores and certainly we [at Malvern Saddlery] have made a big investment in your safety

and in saying that I want you to come here and I want you to let us help you make sure everything’s just right.

We are here for you from the 18th and the 24th and if you have any questions you can always contact us.

Come see us. Bring in your helmet to make sure it fits. We're here to help you.

Take advantage and we'll see you soon. Thank you.
