They even have some used boots. Good selection of circle y tack, if you're in need of horse supplies (especially western gear) this is a place to check out. The best selling point of this place is that they're educated on leather working and can fix almost anything! The owner was super helpful and informative, very kind!

Look no further. But beware, they only accept cash

If you like Horse Driven Carriage and need supplies, this shop has everything you need. They are…read morelocated in a small town off Main St in a warehouse building in a small group of shops. Not a lot on the outside to indicate the business and the clean, high quality items located inside. First, Equine sports tend to be either toward the "practical" people who have less money and do what they can OR "elite" types who have a lot of money to spend and project a need for the best. Again, it is kind of a 'leans' this way or 'leans' the other way. This shop is more for those who have money to spend on the best. We did not project our best, having been visitors to the area and doing a brief visit. So that we felt a little looked down on during our visit. We did get what we needed and the staff were appropriately polite, it was more a perception that we both noted during our visit. You can get all kinds of harness, tack, used carriages, clothing, picnicking items for horse outings. It is a great shop to window shop and see what you need. They also do repairs on equipment or custom tack orders. You also will find a person to answer the phone or emails to answer your concerns. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get a catalog and review the mail order options and the items that they sale if you are into driven carriage. If you 'lean' toward practical shops for driven carriage then I encourage you to shop around, especially if you do your own self repairs.

We visited this shop last week on our trip out of Lancaster. It was on our way home and I wanted…read moreto look for blacksmithing tools mainly tongs. I found two pairs of tongs for $50 each. They were cheaper here than on amazon and a good quality NC Tool Co. This place is located in deep farmland of Amish country. I didn't even see a road sign for it. We found plenty of parking. And by plenty I mean 10 spaces. This isn't a busy spot. You'll spend maybe 15-20 mins looking around. If you're into or getting into blacksmith work this has all the items you need. But keep in mind it's all new with prices higher than what you could get if you look for used anvils and cheaper hammers. These anvils are for farrier work and I believe can be used for heavy blacksmith work as well. You'll be paying $5+ a pound for an anvil. They had about 20 different ones at different sizes. Even stands for them too. They had hammers for all sizes and prices too. The high end ones got for $60-100 a hammer and the cheaper ones are $15-25. So if you got the money you could get a basic set up for blacksmithing. They do take credit cards if you were wondering. This is a great shop. Well worth a trip to get a tool you need. Not a place to visit if you don't plan on buying something cause there isn't any shops near it. Nice people to do business with as well.

If you deal with Equine Driven Carriage, then you will want to check out this home business on a…read morequiet side road in an Amish area. It is a nice drive. You pull up to a farm, drive toward the house and behind and to the side is the shop where the owners are available if the OPEN sign is out. Parking is in the gravel in front of the shop or across behind the barn. First, Equine sports tend to be either toward the "practical" people who have less money and do what they can OR "elite" types who have a lot of money to spend and project a need for the best. Again, it is kind of a 'leans' this way or 'leans' the other way. This shop is more for those who have "practical" needs. They have a shop full of leather, harness, tack and equipment to make or repair many items. If you need just a small item then you can call or pick up the item. You can also make a custom order for any harness. The owners were very friendly, once we began to discuss horse stuff. It is a crowded and working shop, so read not "fancy" but with high quality work. The owner told us he primarily caters to local Amish and does mail order work. TIP: CASH ONLY, No credit cards and only local checks or a check might be able to be used for a harness order that will ship after the check clears. They have a phone and fax. I didn't see any online presence, but they did come up when searching for horse harness equipment. We didn't know about the cash only (local area) and we had a modest $10 order. They initially were reluctant, but then cool, about accepting $5 cash and $5 out of state check. My cultural ignorance on the area. Anyway, I'm a fan and we will be contacting them if we have future needs with harnesses or parts.
