Howdy folks!
The website and catalogs have been updated for 2010. Some prices have changed. Some for the better, and some for the worse.
We always try to give you the best products available at the best prices.
Our 2010 catalog can now be downloaded. There's a link for downloading on our catalog page. For those who have slow connections,
or just prefer them, CD and printed catalogs are also available.
THE MUSTANG ROLL:
I'm trying a new trimming technique on my critters this spring. In essence, it's a natural trimming method that emulates the way
a mustang's hooves wear naturally. It allows the frog to contact the ground, improving circulation and stimulation in the hoof/pastern area.
It also allows for natural flexation of the hoof during motion, which is inhibited by a hard shoe. There are a couple of folks already doing this
professionally. I've added links to their websites on our links page.
MUSTANG ROLL UPDATE:
Well, I'm impressed! My mules hooves have never been this good in the spring. Once the nail holes grew out, things really improved. Not as
much flare as usual, healthy frogs, & no quarter cracks or rock chips. Plus, you don't have to stock supplies. I did have to invest in a disk
grinder though. I use it with a 50 grit 4 1/2 inch sanding disk to form the roll. My ol' back gets tired enough anymore when underneath a mule.
The grinder reduced about 20 minutes of rasping to about 3-5 minutes of sanding. Looks better too.
SALAD OIL:
You might consider adding salad oil to your feed in the spring and summer months. I mix 1/3 cider vinegar and 2/3 corn oil together and dollop
about 1/2 cup over their feed every chance I get. They might turn up their noses at first, but soon, they're gobbling it up. Salad oil conditions the
coats, improves digestion, and helps control dung flies and other manure born insects. If you're lookin' for a fairly cheap and natural solution to
any of the above problems, this'll work. Besides, if you have unexpected guests, you can always make a large salad and run out to the barn and
grab the jug.

PACK SADDLES. We have changed our trees to a tree using synthetic bars and all stainless steel hardware. Unfortunately, this resulted in a price
increase, but the increase in durability of the trees should be worth it. Check 'em out on our pack saddle page!!
We have changed the fabric on all of our fabric items from Cordura to a PVC coated nylon. This will provide a better fabric for the intended purpose
and will result in a price reduction on some items.
STIRRUPS. We occaisionally get requests for stirrups, other than those we list. If you want
a stirrup style that isn't listed, just give us a call and we'll see what we can do. As with saddle pads, there are just too many options to list 'em all.
We've added more styles of cinches. We can also order any style that isn't a stock item. Just give us a call & we'll get your cinch made.
We've also added more pack pads. Bigger sizes available & more colors too! (For those of you whose stock is just partial to a particular color!)
Effective immediately, the Kelly axes will be discontinued. Sales will be limited to stock on hand.
New products for 2010 include Kni-co camp stoves and accessories.
LATEST UPDATE ON WIND RIVER PRODUCTS: Wind River products are back in production.
The Ralide West panniers have been discontinued, and replaced by the new Trail Max bear proof panniers. The Ralide pannier liners are still available.
