We'll be attending our last horse show of the 2025 season this weekend at the Tacoma Unit in Spanaway, WA. Even if you're not showing, you can get a jump on your 2026 ranch horse show outfit.

Or, let us shorten your holiday shopping list. We have a great selection of gifts for horse lovers ranging from $4 to $400.

We had a great time at our first C-Fair horse show. It was fun meeting a new group of horse lovers and seeing breeds we don't often see. We hope everyone had (or will have tomorrow) a safe trip home. We hope to see you again next year.

So excited to have a new shipment of Wild Island Rags by Vicki Luce. Here are just a few of my favorites. We have over 150 wild rags and show scarves in stock. You can see them in person at the WSQHA Trophy Circuit show in Monroe, WA this weekend. Or, join us at the WSQHA Ranch It Up show the following weekend.

We'll also have some great Father's Day gift ideas...wallets, watches, western belts and straw cowboy hats. Stop by to see us on Saturday and Sunday. (We're still tentative for Friday but hope to be there.

I'm getting excited for next weekend's Ranch Horse Show at Tacoma Unit in Spanaway. We've gotten over 20 boxes of new merchandise in the past two weeks. New items include the ranch style western saddle pads we ordered in January. (Better later than never, right?) We'll have show pads for pleasure/horsemanship too. We also got some gorgeous Red Dirt Hat Co. concealed carry purses that you won't want to miss.

Even if you're not showing, we'd love to see you. We have a ton of gift ideas literally ranging from under $5 to not-quite $500.

Vic and I spent a fun evening supporting the Sundance Circle Hippotherpy program at their annual benefit dinner and auction. It's an amazing program that's having a huge positive impact in our community.

We had a great time at the Cascade Pinto horse show this weekend. We were thrilled to see Megan in the Lisa Nelle show shirt she bought from Horses on a Budget. It looks great, and it's way more comfortable than her 10-ish pound show jacket.
