• help with saddle fittings and saddle selection for your needs and for the horse's build

• sell Central Connecticut Co-operative Company grain, McCauley horse feeds and ADM grain products. I stock Equine grain, feed top-dressing, supplements, dog and cat food. I can also, by special order, carry other livestock and pet feed. In addition, I am also a dealer for Dr. Benson horse supplements and their horse care line.
• 3.2 cubic feet white plastic bags of pine shavings are available from us.

Custom Etched Glass

Making gifts for family friends and clients was originally a hobby that has turned into a segment of my business. Every gift has thrilled the recipient and the positive comments I have received as well as the gentle push of my friends has brought this into a reality.

All of the work is done free hand with a diamond tip pen. I have done many breeds of horses and dogs. I can customize an etched design from your photographs. There are a wide variety of etched glass articles available:

• large cookie jars from $45.00
• small, medium and large glass jars with lids from $12.00 to $40.00
• clear glass plates from $20.00
• glass cafe mugs from $12.00
• sun catchers from $15.00
• votive candle holders from $15.00

(prices vary with size of article and complexity of the design)
