Loving This Pin Oak Horse Show.

There are all kinds of horses here - gaited, hunters, jumpers, Fresians, working horse, Andalusians, park horses, driving horses and so many more. This reminds us of the classic horse shows we grew up with on the East Coast in the US.

The show management has been fantastic and the response to our Equine Motorcoach is overwhelming. It is selling itself and we've sold a few.

We have opened a preview of our new lines of products. You can see what's happening HERE.

We will be at Pin Oak until April 1 and then are headed back to Louisville, KY through Louisiana. Might have to make a stop at the Final Four if we are in the Championship spot.

We are definitely set for Rolex at the end of April at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
