Making Ed Look the Part with Equestrian Tack |
| 3/9/2010 2:38:47 PM |
 Growing up one of my close friends, who lived down the neighborhood hill had a short stint competing within local equestrian competitions. They consisted of small jumps, prancing around the judges and other categories that escape me. I don’t know much about horses. What I do know was when this friend was readying for a weekend competition we put together equestrian tack to... Read More |

Equestrian Tack for Horse and Rider |
| 3/6/2010 6:13:07 AM |
When I watch a good rider on a horse it seems as though the two are one. They move together in a rhythmic dance that is simply beautiful! I find it quite mesmerizing to observe the smooth sway as the rider and horse gallup by performing a routine.
I believe that the choice of equestrian tack can make a big difference on how well the rider and horse team work together. Both... Read More |

Taking Care of Horse Tack |
| 2/19/2010 7:13:35 AM |
Riding horses is great fun. It can even be bordering the line on the idea of an exercise. When I ride I use my legs to squeeze and hold on to the beast. Holding the reins and directing the animal works my arms. Putting on and off the horse tack works my arms as well. While getting in and out of a saddle works my legs. All the same the workout is big time fun!

I like to do crafts. One of the items I have been dabbling in is conchos. I have been using the conchos to jazz up a cowboy hat or a leather purse. The conchos are easy and fun to work with when applying them to felt and leather. I have a special tool that makes the job go quickly.
I have found my conchos and tools to go along with them on line. It wasn't difficult to find... Read More |

I was listening to my Grandson complain to me about having to go into town to pick up the horse tack he ordered; and how he doesn't understand why they won't deliver the horse tack to us. I listened to him for about ten minutes or so, and tried to explain to him that we lived too far out and that he was lucky he was driving. I told him that when I was a kid we didn't have...

Conchos Aren't Just for Cowboys |
| 1/22/2010 5:04:49 AM |
Conchos play an important role in the cowboy's life. They adorn the length of one's chaps, the sides of saddles and bridles. I have found that conchos seem to be working well in other worlds too. How about heart shaped conchos on a women's leather hand bag or conchos that depict a person's favorite car on a leather key chain? Yes, it seems conchos have comfortably found a... Read More |
