Seriously. Where else can you buy a wheelbarrow of tack and supplies for less than $50? Sadly, this pile of used goodies is not mine, but a surprising number of people were lugging these around at the annual 4H tack swap last weekend. For our part we picked up a few stock whips (used - without striking them - to herd the alpacas without coming into their "flight zone") a couple nice horse blankets to use as carpets at shows, and a lead or two for the upcoming halter training. Oh, and I got a great hat for almost nothing. Our daughter and her friend had a blast - mostly because we let them roam on their own. It was great to see so many people out trading tack and supplies like old friends.
The whole "swap" concept seems like such a great idea. Now, if we only had the whole property thing settled I could safely attend the next poultry swap. As it is, I don't trust myself anywhere near chickens and poultry supplies. Even going into Big R these days is a challenge to my will.
