THE SHOW SHOP
Welcome to the new and improved website of “THE SHOW SHOP” Seller of Custom, New and Consigned Saddle Seat Attire, accessories and Gifts.
My name is Sarah Tompkins, I began riding American Saddlebreds at the age of 12 under the direction of Timber Hills Farm in Leighton, Iowa. I competed in both performance and pleasure equitation. I graduated from William Woods University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Immediately after graduating, I moved to Kentucky and worked for Jo Cornell and Zubrod Stables teaching riding lessons for the next 24 years. In October 2014, I saw a huge need for a consignment saddle seat apparel store in the Louisville, Kentucky area and that is when “The Show Shop” was born. The Store opened its doors on January 1st 2015.
I really enjoy matching riders, both performance and academy, with something affordable and beautiful to showcase themselves and their horse in the show ring. And, I also love getting the new excited student all geared up that is just beginning lessons and starting their equestrian career.
I am married to my wonderful, supporting husband Clay and we have two beautiful children, Trent and Salay. My step-son, Trent, rode and competed on the academy level and is now getting his masters degree in business at U of L. My daughter, Salay, started competing at 18 months in lead line and now competes in the 17 and under divisions.
