Rhythm beads enhance your ride with their jingle and dress up your horse. They make great gifts and prizes. Our rhythm beads fit a standard Quarterhorse and can be shortened by slipping off some beads. Tie the latigo ends into your horse's mane to secure the rhythm beads. If the mane is too short, use an alligator clip or small hair barrette. Rhythm beads with silver nickel sleigh bells are $13, those with antique brass hawk bells are $18. Call or email to discuss your personalized colors and style.

These smaller smudge sticks of Fringed Mountain Sage burn 2 to 3 hours without the struggle to snuff out a big stick. The scent is rich and earthy. On a quiet, peaceful, late summer day we harvest the sage and hand-wrap it on-site. Drying time is about 2 weeks. We like to burn these smudge sticks mid-winter to freshen the house and raise our spirits. See the finished product in our Blog. $4 each.
Alpaca manure ("beans") is excellent fertilizer. It doesn't burn, is high in nitrogen and potassium, and is small. 'Paca poo can be mixed into your soil, sprinkled on top or in a hole, or composted with other ingredients. Because alpacas have 3 stomachs, their manure contains virtually no weeds or weed seeds. 'Paca poo is available as fast as it dries at $4 per standard coffee can or $8 per 5-gallon bucket or grain bag. Your local truckbed or trailer-load (depending on the size of the trailer) is $40 and we'll load you out for $10. We've heard that beans deter deer from eating trees and shrubs. We think it also repels the rabbits who visit our yard. One customer reported that her housecat no longer digs in her houseplants.

From Cliff in New Jersey on his purchase of our .36-caliber Pedersoli flintlock:
"Ray and Lynn, the package arrived about an hour ago. Both the package and the contents are in good shape. Thanks to both of you. It is a pleasure doing business with such honest people. I was very comfortable with the transaction right from the start. Thanks for the business cards. I will be checking out your website. If I am fortunate enough to bag a few squirrels this season I will try to remember to send you some pics. Thanks again."
