Happy Friday!! We are getting totally washed out here in Missouri. It has been raining NON-STOP for days now and I feel like it might be time to buy a canoe.... However, production is great right now! We have been flooded (haha) with orders and our spirits are high. With the weekend on the horizon, forecast is SUNNY!! I hope that everyone has a chance to ride this weekend! ENJOY!!!

Erniestock!!

We have returned from the Al Dunning Experience!! What a great time we had. Being that we have mainly marketed to the distance and trail rider, this was such a great way for us to step out of our shell and make some new friends! We got to see a master at his craft, Al Dunning, teach his willing students to turn quickly, stop quickly, and chase and maneuver cows! Our store was a success and people really seemed to respond to our unique tack. Here are some photos from this weekend....











We look forward to continuing to expand our markets and our horizons! Happy Trails!

Let me start by saying that our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. Truly a tragic event. While theycan never replace those who have passed, I hope that they can find the strength and means to replace their homes, schools, belongings and begin walking the path toward healing and recovery...

Now, it has been storming like crazy here in Missouri! Yesterday, we had hail, thunder, lightening, and some of the hardest rain I have ever seen (and I was in Hurricane Andrew in Galveston)! Thankfully, it has been dry so far here today. But, we aren't going to let a little moisture stop us... We are headed to the AL DUNNING clinic tomorrow!! It's in Cleveland, MO (right down the road..YAY!), and we will be there for nearly a week. We have set up a contest and will be giving away a set of custom made reins (of the customer's choice), one on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you are in the neighborhood, come on by! There will be dancing, live music, BBQ, and a lot to learn! Hope to see you out there!!

Happy Wednesday!! It is as hot as August here today! We went to the meeting last night to discuss the specifics of the Al Dunning clinic in Cleveland, MO for next week. I gotta tell you, this is going to be a  crazy yet good week. We are incredibly excited for this opportunity to step out of our regular routine and mingle with the people of the Western world of riding! There will be BBQ, line dancing, live music, barrel racing and really incredible people. I will be snapping pictures all week so look for some to be shared soon!! Have a great week!!

Happy Hump Day, ladies and gentlemen! We are furiously making tack and preparing to hit the road again! Well, kind of. We are only going DOWN the road. Cleveland, Missouri, to be exact!

I hope to see some of you down there!
