Ace Tack & Outfitters now has the Easy Boot Glove



This form-fitting, seamless boot hugs the hoof and responds like a natural foot. Flexible and tough, this boot adds traction to the hoof, while allowing a free stride and breakover. Like a glove, this boot provides protection without stifling mobility. The Easyboot Glove material stret......ches over the hoof and clings to the wall so that debris stays out of the boot even through sandy and muddy conditions. No external hardware means that there is no need to worry about replacing cables. Studs are available for winter riding. Does your horse overreach? These boots have a faster breakover and no hardware to catch on the front heel if you are wearing them on hind feet. This boot must be carefully sized and fitted to the hoof. Your horse’s width and length must fall into the same size category. If your horse’s width and length fall into two different size categories you must choose another boot style. If you believe that you measured correctly but the boot doesn’t fit tight try going to a smaller size or chose another boot in the EasyCare line. Sold individually.

Happy Fathers Day

Well this weekend is Fathers Day and Below is the History of Fathers Day.




The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.


Having been raised by her father, William Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.






In 1926, a National Father's Day Committee was formed in New York City. Father's Day was recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1956. In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. So Father's Day was born in memory and gratitude by a daughter who thought that her father and all good fathers should be honored with a special day just like we honor our mothers on Mother's Day.






Happy Father's Day


Any man can be a Father,
but it takes a special person
to be called Dad.








Don't forget to get that special dad a gift from Ace Tack & Outfitters. We have new Brooks and Dunn shirts and the new American Patriot line. We have lot's of great sales throughout the store.

Shampoo tricks

When you wash your horse with our Equine Horse Shampoo, save time by throwing your brushes into the bucket with the shampoo and let them soak for a few minutes.  You can toss your dirty cinches into the bucket, too. It will clean them gently and help get rid of harmful bacteria.  Equine Shampoo is also an excellent spot cleaner when you don't have time to wash your whole horse.
