Hey Cedar Lodgers,

I had a woman email me that owns a local stable. She said she was approached by someone selling some "high end" tack. This person was not a horse person, but said they had found it in the trash in Benton Harbor. She was reaching out in case any local barns had found any of their tack missing. Please let me know if you are missing anything.
