Fall is the most perfect time to go trail riding! Roy Frey Western is carrying a complete line of trail riding supplies form the Stowaway gear bags and water carriers to insulated saddle bags. Looking for a new comfortable trail riding saddle? Check out the Reinsman “Comfort Fit” Trail Saddle – comfortable for the rider and the horse. We also carry a large selection of bits and saddle pads.

Dewayne and I highly recommend riding the Wild Horse Equine Trails at Perry Lake. They are beautiful this time of year. Lots of wildlife – beaver, deer, and turkey. The trails are nicely marked and maps are available. Enjoy!

Cowboy Hats

Roy Frey Western is stocking open crown Palm Leaf Hats now year round. Come in to have Dewayne personally shape one for you. After he shapes it, he can brand your initials on the brim or a special figure on the crown. Let Mike or Dewayne clean and shape your felt and get it ready for fall. Get a new colorful hat can to store your felt in so it will look good for all occasions.

New for Fall

New fall merchandise is arriving daily at Roy Frey Western. Come see the new Ariat Boots for cowgirls and cowboys. They are outstanding! Ariat has a new Cobalt XR Technology that is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the serious horseman or someone looking for extreme comfort. This technology delivers maximum balance and stability in the stirrup and on the ground.

Cowgirls will look great riding in a new pair of Ariat real Ostrich Star Babies or Pro Babies in black or rust. Bomber leather with baby pink tops are the fall hit for the little cowgirls. Little cowboys love the brown or black saddle vamp Ariat boots. Ariat’s new waterproof pull-on Terrains are selling like crazy!
