4 New Western Dishware Patterns
What do you call a textured turquoise star in the middle of a deep, rich chocolate plate? – western beautiful! Let me introduce the new Western Star dishware pattern. This plate fits perfectly on a turquoise charger for a striking tablescape. It comes in a set of 16 pieces – 4 dinner plates, 4 bowls, 4 salad plates and 4 mugs.

Western Belt is the newest porcelain dinnerware addition to our home décor department – but wait – the dishware set won’t be here until late spring. It is a dark saddle brown base color with an image of a tooled western belt encircling the pieces. It is wonderful! But even better are the accessory pieces – which are here now. I especially liked the baking pans that come with a black iron caddy and lids. The baking pans have oven-save removable silicone handles too! It will coordinate perfectly with the Old West and Barbwire pattern we constantly stock. This new pattern is replacing the Buckeroo stoneware dishware that the manufacturer has discontinued.
 

New from Montana Silversmith are two wonderful western patterns: Barbwire in saddle brown with rust colored wire trim and tooled leather. Tooled leather is rich contrasting brown tones on an ivory base plate. Both patterns come in a set of 16 pieces – 4 dinner plates, 4 bowls, 4 salad plates and 4 mugs. Both patterns will mix and match with the Montana Silversmiths "Brands" dishware pattern. Accessory pieces are also available.

150th Anniversary of Pony Express

ST. JOSEPH, MO. — On April 3, 1860, a young man named Johnny Fry took off from St. Joseph on horseback, the first of a relay of riders on a new mail service to California. A re-enactment of that ride will be part of the events scheduled for April 1-3 to celebrate the 150^th anniversary of the Pony Express.

The Pony Express Museum opened in 1959 on the site of the original stables; it doubled in size and added new exhibits in 1993. The museum features a diorama of the mounted Fry eager for the stable door to open so he can begin his ride into history.

The original enterprise, Central Overland and California Pikes Peak Express Co., carried letters and telegrams for 18 months, with the pony riders covering 1,966 miles in 10 to 14 days. The route ran from St. Joseph through Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada to Sacramento, Calif. That story is told in artifacts and exhibits throughout the museum.

St. Joseph was chosen because it was the western end of telegraph and rail service coming from the east and had good roads heading west.

Up to 100 riders were hired, including William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody. Their wages were $100 a month. They ranged in age from 11 to mid-40s, and each had to weight less than 125 pounds.

Horses were changed every 10 to 15 miles at relay stations, and new riders mounted every 75 to 100 miles at home stations. The riders began at both ends. When Fry was leaving St. Joseph, Bill Hamilton was heading out of Sacramento.

The delivery service was set up because folks on the West Coast were eager for news from back East, where a new president was about to be elected and the country was edging toward civil war. The quickest run took seven days and 17 hours, carrying President Abraham Lincoln's inaugural address.

If you think a stamp is expensive today, consider postal rates during the Pony Express. The initial cost was $5 per half ounce of mail. It later was lowered to $1 per half ounce.

The service ended in October of 1861, when St. Joseph was joined by telegraph line to Sacramento, and news could travel in a matter of minutes. Almost 35,000 letters were carried while the Pony Express was in operation. Not until the completion of the railroad in 1868 would letter mail again reach California as quickly.

The sesquicentennial celebration will include a Buffalo Bill look-alike contest, chuck-wagon dinner and cowboy poets competition on April 1, a train robbery and other re-enactments on April 2 and hourly Pony Express rides, a parade, re-enactments and a Michael Martin Murphy concert on April 3.

For a full schedule of events, call 1-800-530-5930 or visit www.ponyexpress.org.

Weather Lore for March
        • When March as April weather, April will have March weather.
        • Thunder in March betokens a fruitful year.
        • Dust in March brings grass and foliage.
        • A March suns sticks like a lock of wool.

At the time of this spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
                         – from The Old Farmer’s Almanac (http://www.almanac.com)

Liz’s Trail Corner – March Trail Tip

Elmer Bandit--legendary trail horse

He was a rangy grey gelding whose accomplishments were unsurpassed in the world of competitive trail riding. 20,720 miles of certified competition miles. Elmer passed away on February 14, 2010. He was 38 years old. His breeder, trainer and owner Mary Anna Wood is to be heralded in her management and training of this talented horse. Elmer Bandit was a Half Arabian (sired by a purebred Arabian and out of a Quarter Horse mare). He was the first inductee into the North American Trail Ride Conference Hall of Fame. He earned numerous national championships in the NATRC, and in the past few years his continuing to compete and win in the organization’s trail rides has caught the interest of various horse publications. Check out the information about Elmer on The Horse.com for more information regarding his activities.

Elmer's and Mary Anna's relationship was one to behold. They had an uncanny level of communication. They truly worked in unison. Elmer knew how to save all his energy for the task at hand when he competed and Mary Anna knew how to help and manage him on the trail. Elmer would even rest in his pick up trailer camper by lying down to ride on the way to a ride and take that reclining position for the ride home too.

I remember receiving a copy of the Arabian Horse World in the late '70's--heralding the "All American Arabian scene"--Burt Reynolds on the cover with his horse, an article about Kenny Rogers and his Arabians and finally a story about Mary Anna and Elmer. Now Mary Anna and Elmer were the real deal and certainly deserved the recognition.

Elmer and Mary Anna have inspired countless riders to try harder, to make do with what you have, to understand your horse, to play by the rules and above all to take care of your horse. Theirs was a partnership that was developed to full measure.

4th Annual Wright Flight Trail Ride May 30
Come ride the beautiful prairies of Eisenhower State Park, surrounding Melvern Lake, Lyndon, KS on the fourth annual Wright Flight Trail Ride "Helping Kids Reach New Heights" Sunday, May 30^th. Riders will enjoy a leisurely 2-3 hour trail ride that will include a poker run. The ride will be followed by a steak dinner, cooked by Josh & Gwen Hoy, Flying W Ranch with side dishes courtesy of Reser’s Fine Foods, door prize drawings, a silent auction and a spirited live auction featuring items including (but not limited to) Montana Silversmith statues; Ariat, Justin, Tony Lama, Muck and Old West boots; Wall Jackets; Carpenter Farm Supply saddle racks; The Hat Doctor hat renovation certificates; Kansas Horse Council liability sign & membership; Flint Hills Leather custom made chinks; riding lessons from Foxeye Ranch, Cindy Branham, Liz Syverson, Bev King, and Jana Dreasher; Bruce Brock pen & ink art, private guided trail rides at Lake Perry, Saddle & Sirloin, Melvern Lake, Flint Hills Bar U Ranch, and KHC Elk City Ride; half day ride and stay for four in bunkhouse at Flying W Ranch; and a spot for two riders on the Purina/Better Horses Network Fall Dream Ride!

Wright Flight, Inc. (www.WrightFlight.org) is named after the Wright brothers. Our mission is to use the inherent motivational power of aviation as a stimulus for students to set and achieve higher goals in their educational and personal development. We teach students, grades 6-12, that through commitment and hard work they can achieve the highest goals, including the opportunity to pilot a light aircraft.

Wright Flight, Inc. stresses the importance of education by requiring each student to sign a contract before beginning the program. This contract requires the students to set an individual self improvement goal, in addition to staying in school, off drugs, and out of gangs. If this requirement is not met, even though the student passes the Wright Flight "History of Flight" test, the child is not allowed to participate in the graduation. Once that requirement is met, then the student may experience the graduation thrill of a hands-on flight in a small aircraft as a co-pilot.

The goal for this trail ride is to help raise money to offset the fuel costs accumulated by the pilots volunteering their aircraft, time and money for these flights. Each year, volunteer pilots fly between 125 and 150 kids from participating schools. 100% of all donations for putting on the event and funds raised at the event go directly to the Kansas/Missouri Wright Flight Chapter. This event is sponsored by Heritage Tractor, Eisenhower State Park, Better Horses Network, Purina, Reser's Fine Foods, Foodcomm International, Flying W Ranch, TFM Communications and Roy Frey Western. Additional support from individuals and corporations would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.

The Wright Flight Program is a non-profit organization. Dewayne Burgess, a retired Air Force fighter pilot, and owner of Roy Frey Western in Topeka, KS, founded the original Kansas Chapter in 1992. He later encouraged friends in Missouri to establish a chapter and currently serves as President of the recently combined Kansas/Missouri Chapter.
 
Registration begins at 9:00 am on Sunday, May 30, 2010. Ride is from 11 am to 2 pm. Dinner and silent and live auction is immediately following the ride. Cost is $35 for ride and dinner; $15 for dinner and auction. Ride is limited to first 100 riders. Camping reservations can be made through Eisenhower State Park at 785-528-4102. This event will be held rain or shine.
For more information or to register for the trail ride, contact Dewayne or Jo Turner Burgess at 785-232-0579 (info@royfreywestern.com) or Bob and Brandi Lewis at 785-256-4404 (trailhorses@hotmail.com attn: WFTR). Thank you in advance for your support of this worthy program!
