Brad Borton Passes Away

The National Snaffle Bit Association is saddened to learn of the passing of F. Bradley Borton, of Upper Deerfield Township, New Jersey, on Monday, April 30 after a long battle with cancer. For the past five years, Brad, his wife Corrine and daughter Courtney Borton Arment published the equine magazine Instride Edition. He  published and distributed the NSBA’s The Way To Go magazine from 2000 to 2013.

Brad and his family have been long-time breeders of American Quarter Horses. Brad especially liked working with the young prospects, showed as Non-Pro exhibitor, and was often seen in NSBA Non-Pro Longe Line events.

NSBA joins the equine community in thoughts and prayers for the Borton family.
