Awards
Let Roy Frey Western be your equine organizations year-end award headquarters.
Montana Silversmiths buckles are always a great prize – they take 6-8 weeks to
make up so don’t wait too long to order. Don’t know what to give as awards?
How about gift certificates to Roy Frey Western and let the winners pick out
their own awards? Or picture frames, throws, jackets, hay bags, totes, boot
bags, day planners, western brief cases or hat cans are just a few other
ideas. Come in and let Mike, Saundra, Lindsay or Dewayne help you pick out
your special prizes.
Time to Trail Ride
October is the best time of year to go trail riding. We recently rode at
Clinton, Perry and Melvern State Parks. The trails are in good shape and it is
just beautiful. One of our favorite trail riding items is the long Outback
raincoats that are lightweight, breathable, packable and rider friendly. Be
sure you have a Stowaway cantle pack for your trail riding necessities. They
never move when you ride and have lots of different places to store things
–washable too! New is a trail riding 9’ single rein made of nylon braid that
is soft, great width, with leather knot markers for extra grip. Several of us
tested this rein on the Dream Ride and the CF Ride and everyone loved it. We
also have the western seat savers that are snug fitting, plush made of
CoolBack Fleece. Insulated saddle bags are great for carrying lunch and water
and they really keep things cold.
Chinks
Just arrived are several pair of the new Saddle Barn Chinks. We have brown &
white hair-on (YeeHaw!), brown marbled, natural, brown with black trim and
plain brown. All have beautiful tooling and conchos. If you don’t have a pair,
come in and put a pair on your Christmas list!
Leather Weather - Jackets
Ladies leather jackets – this fall collection is elegant yet casual and will
look great with jeans and boots. Texture with detail is what’s in style for
fall. Chocolate brown distressed, acid wash bone with fringe, black lamb with
fur and turquoise, whipped stitched tan, rust with beadwork, chamois with
turquoise, elegant black embroidery with black dots and black suede fringe
with white buck stitch. We have a great selection that will look good with
jeans at the football games and at equine events.
For the cowboys, we have a great black or rust lamb skin sports coat with Ostrich yokes and pocket trim that is soooo handsome! Check out the brown distressed leather jacket with smoother leather trim, perfect with jeans on a cool fall evening. The black denim sports jackets are back!
Leather Weather - Boots!
Fall is the perfect time to get outfitted in a new pair of boots from Roy Frey
Western. Boots, boots and more boots – Roy Frey Western is your western boot
headquarters for steel-toe, work, casual, dress and exotic boots. Come select
from more than 3,000 pairs of boots for cowboys and cowgirls of all ages. Roy
Frey Western carries all the top brands – Ariat, Boulet, Corral, Lucchese,

when you walk! How cool is that! Check out the new Ariat boots for kids –

fall event. We have a lot of choices of blouses to go
under these fun vests.
• Leather vests in denim blue and buckskin go with everything and are so
figure flattering. The Cripple Creek chamois vest
with whip stitching is pure
western. For more dressy occasions, choose the black smooth leather with zip
front.
• Faux fur in black or winter white with a subtle running horse design in the
fur is perfect for the holiday parties. Zips shut with
a rhinestone front
zipper. Stunning!
• Ladies Wah Maker (traditional old west) tapestry vests in blue and tan or

Ariat’s Men’s Performance Shirts
Whether you’re roping in the arena or working on the ranch, count on Ariat’s
Men’s Performance Shirts to meet your needs for fit, styling and performance.
The unique level of comfort and technology is unseen in any other shirt in the marketplace. Sleeves are engineered for you to reach up and out without your shirt pulling out, breathable mesh at the upper back keeps you cool, and under arm gussets promote generous freedom of movement.
And to top it all off, the lightweight fabric provides a soft-texture and allow a crease to hold for that crisp, clean look. An SPF finish even protects you against harmful UV rays. What more can you ask for in a shirt! Roy Frey Western has a good selection of blues and greens, solids and plaids, priced from $39.99 - $49.99. Great to rope in or perfect for the big fall shows.
What’s Cooking?
My new favorite steak is the “Flat Iron Steak”. It is just delicious grilled
with a simple rub or seasoning. The Flat Iron Steak is cut from the shoulder
and is similar to the flank steak in shape. It is economical, very tender and
flavorful. The leftovers are great on a salad or for fajitas. You can find
Flat Iron Steaks at Dillon’s. Just bake a potato, fix a salad, and a vegetable
and as far as I am concerned, you have a perfect meal.
Here’s a soup that is perfect for a cool fall evening – make some cornbread to go along with it and enjoy!
White Chili
1 Cup onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
