Below I have listed some links that may be of interest to you.  These people have supported me and my business so I will return the favor and promote their business/club as well.  Please visit the sites to learn more about their club, business, etc.

Northern Illinois Outlaws is a Cowboy Mounted Shooting Club.  Mel & Tina Hass are president and secretary of the club and are also great customers of mine!  Many of the club members are customers as well.  The following endorsement is from Tina:

"Mel and I and several of our NIO members use Y Knot halters and lead lines when trail riding.  The halters are light weight and easy to pack in our saddles bags and they're strong so there's no worry about horses breaking out of them.  They can be comfortably worn under bridles.  Due to their light weight and their rope-like appearance, it enables us to stay 'period correct' at our parades and other non-shooting functions.  We highly recommend the Y Knot products for safety, appearance and strength."

and another comment from Tina:

"THANK YOU for not only coming out for the entire day, but for donating to our club, Northern Illinois Outlaws cowboy mounted shooting group.  Your product is something Mel and I believe in and your courtesy and willingness to come out to our events is certainly appreciated.  We hope to do more business with you . . ."

I have been to their events and they are great fun to watch!  It's a different kind of horse show that is very exciting!  The authentic "Old West" dress these guys and gals wear make it even more interesting.  It's a great way to see "real cowboys" in action!

Please visit their website to find out more about the club and schedule of events.

Deb Roetzer is one of my best customers and she has a very interesting business.  She plans and organizes Horse Playdays - at your place or hers. She creates a playground using safe obstacles where you and your horse can learn to play together and build a horse-human connection.  Please visit her website to learn more about the services she provides and the schedule of upcoming playdays.

Conover Square is a shopping village in a 100+ year old piano factory in Oregon, Illinois that my husband owns and manages.  Please visit the website to learn more about the wide variety of unique, interesting shops and restaurants plus a model train club, art club and museum.  Y Knot Rope Tack products are available for purchase at Crafter's Corner on the main level.

White Pines Ranch - This is where I work part time!  

It's a great place to work - I love the horses, I love the people, I love the job!  I work on the Barn Crew as a Trail Guide and do a bit of training as well.

It's a great place to visit!  They have a wonderful Summer Camp Program for youth ages 8 - 15, an Outdoor Education program during the school year, and a Weekend Program for groups on most weekends except during Summer Camp - great for scouts earning badges!  Check out their website!
