Micklem Reins, Meet the Riding Warehouse!

If you've been following my rein saga over the past few days, you wouldn't be the only one. Apparently, the Riding Warehouse caught wind of it as well. Unless you never order anything online, you are already well aware of the awesomeness that is the Riding Warehouse.

I'll admit that I may be a bit biased as I carry around a proprietary air when it comes to this little corner of the horse world. I've been a customer of the Riding Warehouse since they operated out of a portable tent. Let's just say it's been so long that the internet had not yet been invented when they hung out their shingle.

And really, how can they be beat? Their shipping policy and rates are second to none. Since I live just two hours away, I get my packages the very next day, and if I shop wisely, I get that package shipped for free! And their customer service? No one comes even close. They make it right NO MATTER WHAT.

But you already know all this.

I wish they carried lettuce, milk, and hamburger ...

I order something from the Riding Warehouse at least once a month. I just ordered a new pair of rubber reins, bell boots, and a saddle pad. And then, because that didn't quite scratch my itch, I also ordered a new girth, but more on that in a day or two.

All of that means that I get frequent emails from the Riding Warehouse, so it was no surprise to see an email from them yesterday afternoon. When I opened the email, I was pleasantly surprised to read this:

Hi, Karen!
How are you? Our buyer Christine noticed your recent blog referencing the Micklem reins, and we wanted to let you know we thought the idea of selling those separately was a great one! So we’ll *soon* have those listed as a separate item available for purchase (expected in 9/20, but they will need to be photographed). You can keep an eye here. http://www.ridingwarehouse.com/Horseware_Tack/catpage-HORSETACK.html?from=bakdre

​Thank you and take care!

Well now. Isn't that the coolest thing ever?! My favorite tack store will now be carrying my favorite reins. I like you well enough Bobby's Tack, but Micklem is still calling my name.
