We would like to Thank Dr. Kurt Heite of Brazos Valley Equine Hospital for their facilities and managing our study.
Seventeen years ago, my husband and I were sitting in the living room with our family discussing a possible South Texas Tack. Little did we know that it would become reality. Ever since that day Steve and I have worked together to help bring you the best that the western lifestyle can offer in products, service and knowledge. The knowledge we share is from our experience and observations. “A Bit of Knowledge” is one of many articles that was written to share with you.
Come See Us. I would love to hear from you.
For the love of Horses,
Nancy
