Dear Friends,
 
Hoping your Christmas was wonderful and that your New Year begins with good health and lots of time to ride!
 
The tack shop is having a storewide clearance sale on January 2 (Friday) and 3 (Saturday) from 10-6 each day.  40% off regular priced items and the clearance table is 50-75% off.  All the used tack is “best offer”, including saddles.  Let me know if there is anything in particular you want me to look for when I make my trek down to Denver for the big WESA mart in January….I have a list started already with special requests from many of you, thanks!  This sale weekend will be your last chance to buy Bridle Bit Bucks (good toward the tack shop, lessons and clinics for 2009) at 10% off.
 
I am working on the clinic schedule for 2009.  If any of you would like to host a clinic, please give me a call or email and we can get that scheduled also!  The Tuesday and Thursday group lessons will start back on schedule the week of January 5th. If you are interested in joining the group lessons let me know and I will get you on the “list” for updates and information on those as well.  

Thanks to all of you for your referrals for training, lessons and clinics this past year, I really, really appreciate your support and confidence.  For 2009 any referrals made by you that for lessons, clinics or training entitle you to Bridle Bit Bucks.
 
Congratulations to Marty Marten and Jody Marken on their purchase of BridleBit Brown Girl!  I really have had second thoughts on selling this mare, she is so incredibly talented and I just love her personality but I couldn’t have hand picked a better home for her and am so pleased I will continue to get to see her often….and Jody and Marty too! And congratulations to Sheri Gulley on picking out the best of the weanlings colts too….our first colt our of our Lena (Doc O’Lena and Wyoming Doc) mare and by Chappo (double bred Peppy San Badger, Doc O’Lena and Handle Bar Doc)….Sheri has a great eye for a really nice horse!  Steve was disappointed she picked him because he was his (and mine) personal favorite but we know Ace will have a great home and we can raise another one, just like him!   I still have a couple of really, really nice mares for sale, one yearling (coming 2 year old) gelding and 3 other super nice weanlings (coming yearlings).  Call or email for more details and pictures on these nice horses.
 
We am looking forward to the New Year, lots of riding with old and new friends.  Look forward to seeing you all soon!

Tack Shop Hours This Holiday Season

Dear Friends,

I know it is cold when you have to bundle up the dachshund in her coat, wild rag (yes, she has her own wild rag!) and blanket and carry her to the barn to do her “business”. When the weather station quit reading the wind chill after it fell below minus 40….I just quit looking…gave me “brain freeze”….  Hope you and your four legged critters survived the first blast of “winter” weather and winter doesn’t officially start until next week!

Congratulations to this week’s winner of the $25.00 in Bridle Bit Bucks – Kristi Batka.  And good luck to Kristi and John as they look forward to their daughter’s birth in a few weeks!

The tack shop hours for this week are:

Monday, Dec 15 – 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. –
Tuesday, Dec 16 – 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. –

We have a new shipment of Wyoming Trader Wool vests for men and women, wild rags (new smaller size for those smaller necks!) and wool caps.  We will be running sales on select products all week (jewelry, tack, gifts, Chugwater Chili, clothes, etc…), including the “pick your discount” off the tree, plus an additional 5% off whatever discount you pick off the tree.  Yes, the 50% tag is still on the tree….just waiting for you to be the lucky one to pick it! 

Thanks for your time and stay warm!

Early December Tack Shop Update

 

 

Dear Friends,

A nice snow made things look like “winter wonderland” here in Eaton for a few days (see attached picture), made it feel more like Christmas! 

The 50% off discount tag is still on the tree and with more of the tags missing your chance of drawing the “big one” are getting better and better!  The “shop keeper” says to post some “regular” shopping hours for the tack shop so here goes;

Monday, December 8 – 10-3
Wednesday, December 10 – 11-3
Friday, December 12, 10-3
Saturday, December 13, 10-2

If those times don’t work for you to stop by just give us a call (970-454-3061) and we will find a time that works for you, no problem!

Congratulations to today’s winner of $25.00 in Bridle Bit Bucks, Sue Nichols from Howard, CO!  Our next drawing for Bridle Bit Bucks (good towards the merchandise in the shop, lesson or clinics) is Dec 15^th.  There are also surprise discounts on selected items each day through out the store, up to 50% off! 

Be sure to check out our new page on the web site featuring our nice selection of saddles we have on consignment also.  We have some really nice used tack (from complete headstall set ups, saddle bags, chinks, mecates, shooflies, halters and more) on consignment also that will help fill that “wish list” without breaking your budget!

Winners and Pony Tail Tangles

Thanks to all of you that were able to make it to the Christmas Sale at the tack shop!  Congratulations to the winners of the daily drawings of $25.00 of Bridle Bit Bucks (redeemable towards the tack shop, clinics or lessons). Friday’s winner was Leanne Schaffner, Saturday’s winner was Mary Lafferty and Sunday’s winner was Marty Marten!  And congratulations to the ‘big loop prize’ of $100.00 of Bridle Bit Bucks, Jim Newcomb! 

 

We are going to extend the sale through Dec 23rd with the discount tree (the 50% tag hasn’t been picked yet!) and 3 more drawings for Bridle Bit bucks (Dec 8th, 15th and 23rd). Each week we will have “surprise” discounts on items through out the store (up to 50% off).  We don’t have “normal” store hours, since the store keeper does lessons and rides horses too, so be sure to give us a call or email and we can set up a time that works for you to stop by and take advantage of the big discounts and drawings!

 

Yesterdays horsemanship and trail clinic at Eldorado Springs was great!  Huge thanks to Heidi for hosting and riding, you made a great trail boss!  And thanks to Pam, Janie, Sue, Leanne, Sabrina and Nicholas for riding and “cowboy/girling up” in in the wonderful cleansing Boulder breezes, HA!  Still trying to untangle the knots out of my pony tail……

 

Thanks so much again and have a great week!
