• NSBA (National Snaffle Bit Association)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 1983NSBA's first president and secretary approached Mabelene and Ralph Harris about becoming a sponsor shortly after NSBA was formed in 1983. Harris has been a long-term sponsor through lean times and flush, providing donations, sponsorships, and featured saddle displays at Congress. The company donated its first saddle to NSBA which was displayed at Congress, long before Harris had their own booth there. The development of Two Year Old and Three Year Old Snaffle Bit Western Pleasure classes coincided with the coming of age of Harris Leather and Silverworks.
