 Dear
friends, Suzi Vlietstra from Hobby
Horse Clothing needs our help! Here is her direct request:
"The Hobby Horse Clothing Co. warehouse in Chino, CA was robbed late
on May 22/early May 23rd, 2009. Thieves made off with approximately
$250,000 worth of chaps and show tops. More than 300 pairs of our popular
PMS split leather chaps were stolen; they had been delivered from our
customs broker less than 12 hours earlier. No attempt was made to enter
our offices; no computers or electronic equipment in the warehouse was
taken. The thieves appeared to only be after our chaps and more expensive
garments. My employees and my company are jeopardized by this robbery;
we lost inventory, including Limited Edition garments that cannot be
replaced that would provide the cash flow to continue our business operations.
We will survive, but this is a serious setback. I am asking for the
help of horse community members in advising me by email if they come across ANY strange offers on Hobby
Horse apparel." Read more Here!

After
over 30 years in the industry, Allan and Kay Neubauer of Aubrey,
Texas have made the monumental decision to pass the baton. "Its taken
a lot of thoughtful reflection to be able to make this decision", Kay
says, "We had the youngest stud ever on the AQHA Leading Sire list when
we were 'kids'. Those fast paced days putting on 100,000-mile-a-year
campaigning Coosa Lad's offspring are behind us now, and we hope to
slow down a little. We won the first NSBA Longe Line high point championship
in 1993 with Ms Syracoosa. We also raised his Congress champions and
a whole string of other awards... We were on top of our game. We love
our horses and have always hand raised and trained them, but Its the
end of an era for us, we have decided to offer our fine stallion, 'Addicting',
for sale"... [Click here to
