A cold but fun day on November 23rd for the French River Pony Club where we met at “Miles On It Tack”. Miles on it Tack is located at 1790 Wolsely Bay Road. Diana was a fab host showing us some very cool old horse tack and telling us what they’re used for.
We delighted in coffee and delicious petite cakes. What great conversations we had! We learned so much from her hubby. Who entertained us with many tales and good information for us to keep in mind.
We left with great purchases at great prices. We highly recommend a visit.
There is lots of different types of English, Western tack and driving tack plus barn extras.
If you like to shop local, Diana is very close to Alban and Noelville, just being on Wolsely Bay Road.
