Stampede Strings For
Riding in the Kansas Wind
If you are going to ride in Kansas, you will need a stampede string on
your hat! Roy Frey Western is happy to add a stampede string to your hat
either a felt or a straw. Check out the new Atwood straws with built in
stampede strings.
Cowgirls, if you like to ride in a visor, try one of the hair-on cowhide
visors with the elastic coil. These visors are heavy enough not to blow
off. The elastic coil is so comfortable and can be tightened if needed. I
ride in one all the time and love it!

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 dιcor department but wait the dishware set wont 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.

Weather Lore for April
If it thunders on All Fool's Day, it brings good crops of corn and hay.
Moist April, clear June.
Cloudy April, dewy May.
Snow in April is manure.
April Full Pink Moon This full Moon heralded the
appearance of the grass pink, or wild ground phlox one of the first
spring flowers. It is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg
Moon, and the Fish Moon.
from The Old Farmers Almanac (http://www.almanac.com)
Quote for April
"He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is
pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear
in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is
indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts."
~William
Shakespeare, Henry V
Lizs Trail Corner April Trail Tip
It's spring and everyone wants to get out on the trail. We all need to do
our homework before hitting the trail which includes perfecting the "one
rein stop", emergency dismount skills, and establishing a leadership bond
with our horses. It's not fair to anyone or any horse to just go out and
load up, head for the trail, unload and saddle up and then expect to have
a wonderful relaxing ride. Granted some folks get by with that time after
time--and that's great. However many horse and rider teams have issues
which can be resolved with patience, practice and commitment to realistic
goals.
Young horses, green horses and even older horses
unfamiliar with trail riding need training on easy trails with relaxed
companions and seasoned horses. Being herd animals horses pick up on the
reactions of their companions. Confidence can be built with quiet riding
buddies both human and equine. If your horse is new to trail riding
surround him with those who ride well trained mounts. If at any time you
feel his adrenaline rising don't hesitate to get off and do some ground
work to re-establish your leadership position. A nervous horse and unsure
rider can feed off each other's anxiety causing reactions that can prove
to be dangerous for both parties.
Getting your horse accustomed to riding in a group is a
good place to start. A large arena is an excellent place to begin. Being
observant of your horse's reaction to other riders can avoid accidents on
the trail. If your horse is antsy with riders behind you--it might be wise
to flag his tail with a red ribbon which should make others aware not to
crowd him.
Playing "leap frog" equine style--one horse and rider
leading the way and then switching leadership positions will help you and
your horse gain confidence in the arena and later on the trail. This
activity should help the anxious horse with horses following behind him.
Many green horses are more comfortable on the trail in the last position.
Mares in particular are often uneasy with other horses following too close
behind.
For instruction on the "one rein stop" and "emergency
dismount," please refer to the many excellent articles in various horse
publications such as Horse and Rider. Their archive is brimming with great
articles featuring superb photography.

4th Annual Wright Flight Trail Ride May 30

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 Resers 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,

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!
