Hats Off to Heritage Tractor
Our 2005 John Deere gator was stolen out of our horse barn the evening of August 15th by some low count thieves who brazenly put it in neutral and rolled it past our bedroom window and loaded it on a waiting trailer parked just down the road. To our rescue came Keith Colter and Ryan Tenbrink, Heritage Tractor of Topeka. Sunday morning we called Keith (he was visiting relatives in Missouri) and cried on his shoulder and begged to borrow a gator for the next week. We were leaving on vacation the next morning and our wonderful neighbors needed the gator to take care of our critters! Keith called Ryan who came to our rescue on a Sunday with a loaner gator! Customer service doesn’t get any better than this and we greatly appreciated it! We had a great vacation riding Fort Robinson and the Badlands National Park. Now the dogs have a new gator to ride around in and life is good again! We highly recommend Heritage Tractor if you are looking for a John Deere tractor, equipment, gator, or lawn mower. Thanks so much again, Keith & Ryan – you are the BEST!

Hat Sponges – Great for Catfish Bait
The secret is out. The best sponge available for catching catfish is the orange M & F Western hat cleaning sponge sold at Roy Frey Western. Whether you make your own sponge bait or use a commercial brand, you want it to stay on the sponge and you want the sponge to be tough enough to last through several bites. Our sponges meet that test. Most fishermen simply cut the hat sponges into smaller sizes, appropriate for the size hook they use, thread it onto the hook, dip it in the sponge bait and start catching fish. The sponges sell for $2.99 per two sponge package and may be cut into as many as two dozen fishable chunks depending on size bait preferred.

Quote for October
                    "Don't compromise on obedience. The sooner you convey (or remind) your horse who's boss,
                      the better you're going to get along, and the more fun you're going to have out on any trail."
                                                                                --Julie Goodnight

Liz’s Trail Corner – October Trail Tip
October will be here in all its glory with absolutely wonderful trail riding weather. It's getting colder at night and we now have fewer hours of sunshine. You've probably noticed the beginnings of winter's coat appearing on your horse. That longer coat gives us some new concerns to address.

Girth/cinch area needs more attention; always a concern for riders trail and otherwise--but with a longer coat there can be more chance of irritation in this sensitive area. Make sure that you thoroughly groom this area. Even a small amount of debris can cause a gall. Depending upon your equipment choice--be it the traditional mohair or one of the newer synthetics make sure that you inspect your girth/cinch before riding and that you clean it afterwards. When tightening your cinch--make sure that you're not pulling that possibly longer coat that I mentioned as you tighten the latigo. Slipping your hand behind the latigo and cinching up slowly can alleviate the pulling of the horse's coat. Here's another tip for a horse that might be prone to galling--if you are using a synthetic (neoprene) cinch--lubricate it with aloe vera gel. Aloe vera will not harm your equipment or your horse. If you have a galling problem with a horse, be sure and pick up a tin of Bickmore Gall Salve which is available in our store. Bickmore Gall Salve is one of those good old time preparations which is not widely available, but is a great item to have in your tack room and trailer.

What’s Cooking?                       - At Roy Frey Western Lifestyles

Over Labor Day, we went riding with a great group of friends at Kanopolis State Park. It was a wonderful ride – good horses, good friends, good riding, and good food.
Sharing recipes is one of the benefits of riding with this group. The menu was real simple:

Appetizer – everyone brought one and shared
Hamburgers/Buns/ Condiments
Green Salad
Potato Salad
Deviled Eggs
Cowboy Beans
Chips & Salsa
Birthday Cake for Dewayne and Brandi

Becky’s Summer Salad
1 head lettuce
3 tomatoes
1 can Mexican style beans (drained) (I use garbanzo beans)
15 oz bag Taco chips (crushed)
8 oz Cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 8 oz Catalina dressing

Brandi’s Corn Dip
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup mayo
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce (more or less to taste)
8 strips of bacon fried and crumbled (optional)
1, 8 oz can niblet corn drained and finely chopped
Onion to taste (I use at least one medium sized onion)

Mix all ingredients and refrigerate overnight. Serve with Frito scoops.

Emmy’s Cowboy Beans – Lanny & Jane Grosland
      INGREDIENTS --
< 1/4 lb bacon, chopped
< 1 medium onion, chopped
< Some jalapeno peppers, sliced (optional) (at least throw in some juice from the jalapeno jar)
< 3 to 6 Oscar Mayer beef hot dogs, sliced
< 1 to 2 hot links, sliced (optional)
< 1 15-oz can kidney beans, drained
< 1 15-oz can pork & beans
< 1/2 cup brown sugar
< 2 tsp mustard
< 2 tsp cider vinegar
< 1/2 tsp salt
< 1/2 cup catsup
< 1 lb Hillshire Farm Hot Smoked Sausage (optional)
< Ice
< Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper
< Canadian Mist (any brand of Canadian whisky will work) or Capt Morgan's Spiced Rum
      DIRECTIONS --
< Combine ice, Coke & Mist (or Dr Pepper & Run) in a glass and sip while proceeding with directions; re-combine and re-sip as deemed necessary.
<  Brown bacon and onion in stockpot.
< Add jalapeno peppers, hot dogs, hot links (optional) and sauté.
< Add remaining ingredients (except optional sausage, ice, Coke & Mist or Dr Pepper & Rum) and simmer for 30 minutes.?
< Grill smoked sausage over medium heat for 8-10 minutes (optional).
< To serve, cut up sausage and place on top of beans (optional).
<  Feed the grilled smoked sausage to your dog.
<  Mosey up to the plate and chow down.
<  Ensure back cinch is tight before riding out.
         Now these are the eat right now directions, which I normally use because I want to eat right now. You can after you brown & sauté the bacon, onion,
        peppers, hot dogs and hot links in a skillet, dump them and the remaining ingredients (except option sausage, ice, etc) in a stockpot and place it in the
        ice box overnite to let everything kind of mix together. Heat up and eat the next day.

      DIRECTIONS :

            WATER TO BOILING (BOIL ONLY 2-3 MINUTES). PLACE GROUND COFFEE AND EGG IN MIDDLE OF A PIECE OF CHEESECLOTH AND
            TIE THE CHEESECLOTH INTO A SACK. REMOVE BOOT AND USE YOUR SOCK IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY CHEESECLOTH AVAILABLE.

            GROUNDS.

Donate Old Cowboy Boots to Winding River Girl Scouts
Winding River Camp & Equestrian Center, Dearborn, MO is in need of “well loved” and in good condition cowboy boots. Many of the 2nd – 8th grade girls may only get the opportunity to come to Winding River once a year. They often do not have boots or helmets so Winding River provides them. This has become quite a challenge as well over a 1,000 young girls come to Winding River for the Spring and Fall Program. We would welcome all sizes of used boots. Roy Frey Western in Topeka and Y Bar H in Olathe has offered to serve as drop off locations. If you would like more information about Winding River you can go to: www.theranchatloneoak.com or contact Linda Grimmett (816) 914-0490.
