Geez...as if things weren't tough enough, we have had to deal with one winter storm after another this year.
We dodged the bullet on this last one. It's cold as heck, but the roads are clear. I've not even plugged my stock tank heaters back in.
But when a winter storm affects THIRTY states, it affects us in the horse supply business. Many of our suppliers have been hobbled badly. I just got off the phone with Weaver Leather where the vast majority of our horse tack comes from and they just got their power back on over night. They still weren't sure if they would be able to get us any stock out today because they had not hear if the frieight trucks would be on the road.
Personally, we can't compare the inconvenience of a late shipment or two to what they have gotten from Texas to the Northeast. So while we must apologize if a few headstalls take a couple of extra days to reach their destination it beats the heck out of shoveling a foot of snow.
Stay warm everyone.
