On The Road Again

In the Air Again!!!!

Last week El Paso Texas where Stephanie and I went to the Lucchese Boot factory to design new boots for the new store in Carmel as well as the new fall line for Park City, we also designed cool new Cowboy and Cowgirl designs for Reno Rodeo and the PBR Finals. We had a wonderful time. It was great to see all of our Lucchese friends and work together creating the finest boots on the planet! That factory is AMAZING!!

This week it's off to Carmel California home of the NEWEST Burns Cowboy Shop!!! I can hardly believe it, it has happened so fast! Scott and I will be looking for the perfect place to hang our hats:-) (and a big closet for all our Lucchese boots).

Yesterday we finished up the Xtreme Barrel Race we produce and sponsor. The HEI Team was a High Performance Machine!!! I am so proud to be part of the organization, Horse Events Inc. When we started the organization in 1992 we were lucky to get 100 entries in a day, now with all classes our entries per day are over 500!!!
