Unfortunately, due to a medical situation with our dog, I will not be able to attend the Equine Fair today @ Lake Equestrian. Hope everyone enjoys all the vendors and demos.

🚨New World Screwworm (NWS), scientific name Cochliomyia hominivorax, was confirmed by the USDA in a 3-week-old beef calf in Texas on June 3, 2026.

NWS is a flesh-eating maggot in its larval stage. It is unique because it consumes live flesh, unlike other maggots that eat dead tissue. NWS can infect animals, birds and even humans. It is often found in open wounds, the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and the umbilicus in neonates.

Any veterinarian suspicious of NWS should contact their State Animal Health Official, who will facilitate sample collection and submission to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NSVL) in Ames, Iowa.

Veterinary Support Services (VSS) veterinarians at the Cornell Animal Health Diagnostic Center can assist with this communication if needed. Please contact (607) 253-3900 or email [email protected] for assistance.

Purchased a brow band from them and it’s beautiful. When it’s time for Charli’s show bridle they will get the call. 💕

With all the talk online these days about big tack shops closing I thought I would take the time to introduce myself & my woman owned small business. 🩷
I have been involved in the tack industry since I worked for Buckle Downs Ltd in high school.
While I spent some time working as an RN in an ER, once my children were born, I returned to leather work & slowly started making tack for others. It has evolved into a very successful full time business for myself with customers driving a lot of my decisions.
I strive to provide high end leather strap goods at reasonable prices & personal customer service. When you inquire with my company you will always deal with me. I don’t have any other employees. I know my inventory like the back of my hand, do all the ordering, billing, packing and sewing modifications. So you never have to worry that some little detail will be lost in translation to another individual. When you ask a question I am personally committed to helping get the best option & fit possible.
I do have limited items though. I focus on bridles & related straps goods (breastplates, neck straps, and martingales) & recently started carrying girths). I do have a few halters that I hand stitch names onto the noseband. I can do customization & modifications to the products before they ship, & while I can do completely custom pieces I do not take on those requests to allow myself as much time as possible to focus my energy on my customers & their needed modifications as well as the sidesaddles that I restore. (My biggest love).
I am an adult amateur whose horses live in her backyard, who works out of a shop on the property & very obviously does her own photos and social media. What you see is what you get 😁
I love my customers & strive to help them get the most for their money & make their horses as comfortable & beautiful as possible with well fitting tack.
Never hesitate to reach out & ask a question- the worst I can say is “not at this time”, but I promise if I think I can do it I will absolutely try.
