Now that we've moved away, I try to come whenever we visit my in-laws. If you get on the mailing list, you get a nice birthday gift. Since I bought two pairs of boots 4 months ago, today I used my $10 birthday coupon on a summer shirt. Plenty of parking, friendly and knowledgeable family and staff, simply epic and worth a regular pilgrimage!

This is a cute little western store located downtown. I've always driven past on the way to my…read morefavorite coffee shop, but never actually been inside until today. I was in a semi-desperate search of a T-shirt. They had a very limited selection. I wasn't greeted upon arrival nor asked if I needed help. I only did a lap around the women's department, I'm sure I was in there less than 5 minutes, but again that's mainly because they didn't have much of what I was looking for. I'll definitely stop by in the future to take a look at their other products when I'm not I. Such a rush.

Took my 4 year old son for his first ever riding lesson. He was so excited, all he talked about…read morethat week was his riding lesson. He loves animals, feeds our neighbors horses, and has ridden ponies on a few occasions. I am not sure that Kristy (the instructor) has much experience with young children. Kristy had very little patience with my son who was a bit shy at first. She was very pushy and appeared irritated with my son when he wasn't responding to her instructions fast enough. My son is a very energetic, friendly, bright, and outgoing boy. He did not refuse to do anything, it just took him a minute to figure out what she was asking him to do. Kristi,never attempted to slow down and give him time to respond. At one point, she told my son "wow, I guess you don't want to ride today" when he was hesitant about scraping the horses hoof. She seemed like she was in a hurry and he wasn't moving fast enough for her. It was a very stressful experience and I could see my son's excitement slowly change to sadness. He told me after it was over that he doesn't want to ride horses again. It was pretty discouraging. I'm sure Kristi does a very good job with more serious riders and older children, she seems to be very knowledgeable. However, I would not recommend taking a 4 year old child to her.

She was able to INCLUDE THEM ALL, multi-tasking teaching and riding, separately, 3 horses at the same time. We were only in Three Rivers for 3 days and Christy was able to squeeze us in, for an experience my family will never forget!! My girls are 5, 9, 11, 13, & 18, with my 41 year old husband the biggest kid of them all!! They all learned SO much about handling and riding, AND CARING FOR the horses, which was really the girls' favorite part! So much attention to detail!! They ALL have a newfound respect for the animal, and riders. We are SO thankful to Christy, for the memories made, the signed book, and the wonderful way she handled every unique member of my family, as individuals. With different levels of fear, and ability to understand, she was somehow able to make it enjoyable for all of those participating!! She was firm, but understanding, she didn't force anything, and she has a WEALTH of knowledge!!! For a bunch of novices, never having had this type of experience, even one full of fear, (the 18yr old! who ended up riding!!), we were not sure what to expect. The education was SO paramount to the ride, as understanding horses made for a safe, fear-free ride, as well as knowing what the horses expect from us humans. We learned so much! A BIG 'Thanks!' to Christy, and her beautiful, well-trained, patient companions, Dollar, Jackpot, and Cowboy!! Hope to see you again someday!!

This isn't your every day thrift store. It's more of an antique store thrift store collectible store all in one. There are things I personally am not interested in (coins, knives, sports cards), but I do love that they have such a variety of items - both rare and hard to find as well as things you just need (western cowboy cowgirl hats, vintage and modern fishing gear (took pics of reels, fly fishing items and wood lures), off-road gear (motorcycle boots, helmets, etc), modern and vintage gaming (I saw Atari and Wii), books, hiking gear (backpack), etc.). Ok here goes - I'll try to include everything I saw (in pics and words). Automobilia, vintage license plates, die cast cars, vintage military items (Vietnam, WWII), crystals and petrified wood and rocks (my favorite!), vintage and maybe modern ski gear and sleds, antique bottles, Coca Cola/coke collectibles, tribal/Indian items - arrow heads and kachina dolls (?) and pottery, jewelry, artwork, glassware, on and on and on.

I can't say enough good about Keryn. Lots of us know her by the nickname, "the Hat Girl," courtesy…read moreof Ray Appleton, and her reputation is deservedly growing by leaps and bounds. Her work with hats is stunning, and her custom work impresses everyone who sees it. In my case, I had a 1920s-30s Stetson Boss of the Plains hat I picked up for $10 that was in such faded, worn shape (plus had a bad ring of sweat damage) it was questionable whether it was suited for anything other than the trash can or nailing up as wall art, but after hearing Ray brag about her, I looked her up and asked if she might be able to do something with it. You'll see the before and after results below. At a modest price she was able to breathe life back into this Thrift Shop reject and it's good enough now to wear and actually look nice. I point out she could have taken it further, but I told her I only wanted some improvement and didn't want to spend much on it, and you can see what she was able to accomplish. Let's just say I and my friends are impressed with what she can do. You'll love Keryn if you meet her (everyone does), and I guarantee she can handle any felt hat need you can throw at her. You'll just need to be patient because word is out, lol. I don't know of anyone else around here who can match what she does. The only other source I'd use for custom hats is in Las Vegas, so we're lucky to have her in Fresno! Highest recommendation for quality, service and friendliness.

I went in here skeptical to find anything but pricey Levi's, cowboy hats, & collared shirts. However, I was delighted to find mens' long-sleeved t-shirts with a pocket on the front for $12/each. My dad is a lifelong pocket on the t-shirt fanatic & he was elated to have these t-shirts. However, the first two I took home were too small so I was able to return them & get something different & pay the difference when they didn't have 2 shirts of the same style in the size I needed. They also advertise local events & sell these really awesome dog treats called dogs dig 'em which are made locally by women in recovery through the St. Francis Homeless Projects. My dog enjoys these treats & I would go back just to get more. If you're looking for an old-fashioned men's clothing wear store with semi formal, western, & casual wear, this is the place for you.
