As I expected, our new Helmet Brims sold very well at the Iowa Horse Fair. So well that I took several special orders and will be placing an order for more of them this week. I was a bit surprise and pleased at the number of men who wanted me to order the all black rims. If you have a special color you would like (they are available in most all of the popular colors) please let me know.

Lime green is a fun color that I have added to this order.

PM me or call 641-751-5921

These horn bags with a holster were a big success at the Iowa Horse Fair and I have ordered more of them.

Made with a heavy weight nylon, these horn bags come with a removable holster that can also be placed on your belt. There is one side pocket for ammo. The horn bag has a Velcro strap that goes under the gullet to keep it in place or it can be used on an endurance type saddle that has no horn. The holster has a double strap system that will keep it in place while you are riding. It will fit both revolver and automatic handguns and will accommodate barrel lengths up to 8".

Available in black or brown.

If I can send you one, PM me. I should have them here next week. Great value at this price.

$29.95

How old is your helmet? Ready for a new one? Stop into our booth at the Iowa Horse Fair. See our Tipperary Sportage and the Sportage Hybrid and let us help you with fitting.

A couple reminders when helmet shopping. Never buy used. If you have a wreck with a good certified helmet like Tipperary you probably will not see the damage, but it is there internally.

Find a retailer who is knowledgeable and can help you with fitting.

Are you ready for a safety vest yet? Horse Trails Less Traveled has a new shipment on the way. These are the high end, certified Tipperary Competitor. This vest is perfect for the trail rider as it is light weight and is cut a bit higher than eventing vests since our seats are different making it more comfortable in our saddles. I rode in mine everyday I rode this winter and, like my Tipperary Hybrid Helmet, I forgot I had it on.

$329.95
