Conte Crafts Georgia and her husband have been with us for many years and have supported the efforts of the horse show crew. They make wood and western home decor items and you will find your unique one of a kind pony here. They make toy wooden horses on wheels similar to tricycles but much more fun for your children (and you). Each year they customize a horse with a BLM freeze brand and adoption papers for the lucky bidder in the auction. The horse comes with its own health certificate and brand inspection papers so you can take your new pet home to any state that you come from. They are one of a kind and very easy on the upkeep. Please stop by and say hello and thank them for their donations to help the horse program. They truly are committed to this effort.
