Caring for your boots.

February 28th, 2009

Well, it’s that time of year. The cold is finally receding and the rains are heading our way. So to keep you favorite boots in good condition through it (and your feet dry) its a good idea to clean them thoroughly and treat them with a good waterproofing product. I like Nikwax . It’s reasonably priced, works really well, and because it has both a cleaner and conditioners and waterproofers in their line, I know that they are compatible and can be used together without causing inadvertent damage. Treating your boots monthly can really extend the wear. I have a pair of much loved Ariats that are well into their third year and still going strong. A little care goes a long way.

Catch of the Day

This is a picture of Catch of the Day, aka Catfish. He is looking for a loving, friendly, knowledgeable home. He is a very cute, comfortable, and easy ride and an easy keeper. He is very gentle and non-aggressive and does best with gentle companions. He also prefers to trail ride in company. He has been to many shows, taught lessons and even lived out west as a youngster. He does need an intermediate rider as he can be a little sensitive to his environment. If you know anyone who would like him to join their family, please leave a comment here and we will contact you with more information.

Quite possibly the cutest racing ever. Wish I’d gotten to try it when I was younger.
