It's That Time of The Year!

It's that time of year, when you will find great tack & barn sales.  Last weekend I attended one in Delray, Fl at the Sunshine Meadows Equestrian Center.  This particular tack sale has been around for many years and I've heard has some great deals.  Hot To Trot Equestrian Consignment will not be able to attend this sale, but encourage everyone to go support your local community and enjoy a great pancake breakfast while you are there!
