Hello to Julie and Staff,

The gaited horse show on July 18 was GREAT, keep up the good work. The shows at West 20 are affordable and fun, without the stress. The staff was so helpful, the barn is very nice. I heard nothing but positive comments, and I wouldn't hesitate to return again. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Pat

Julie,
 
Once again, thank you for a very well run show by your terrific staff.  Terry and I told them afterwards that everything just runs so smoothly and all have fun at these shows, which is as it should be...

I think it's a given that these shows are a success... AND, we had some new faces, too. 

Thanks, again. See you soon.
Diane

Thank you to West 20 for hosting such a fun show for our very special horses! Your staff was great - helpful, friendly and patient. See you again soon.

Hi Julie,

I wanted to thank you for all the things you have done for me. I have done business with you for many years, and have never been disappointed. Your Honesty, Reputation, and Expertise speaks for itself. You matched me with the perfect horse, Lexi , is my best friend.

I visited West 20 recently to purchase a new saddle. The young lady that helped me was very knowledgeable and took the time not only to make me feel like I was important, but to explain how the saddle should fit me and Lexi. This is my first English saddle, so that was important because I have always ridden Western. The hour and a half drive is truly worth it!!!

Thank you Again
Patti

Just got home from the Stallion Expo in Lansing,we took in your saddle fitting seminar and I have to say it was one of the best I have heard,you covered the subject clearly and answered all the questions.

Hi Julie,

I just wanted to let you know that Dixie was a hero last Wednesday. An older mare in her herd went down with colic and the stall cleaner was there by herself. She kept trying to get the mare up and couldn't do it by herself. Sara said that Dix had been watching her and after about 5 min. she approached the mares hind end and began poking and biting the mare until she got up. Then Sara said that Dix followed the mare as she led her to the gate poking and biting at her when ever she tried to stop. Dix is just so awesome! She is boss in her herd and doesn't allow any fighting amoung her group. Even when we put a new horse in she will stand between the new horse and the others to protect the new horse. Like I said...she is an awesome girl and a GREAT partner!

Dear Julie,

If you ever want to go into the birthday party hosting business, let me know. Julian and her friends had the best time, they are all still talking about it and a few of them told their mothers upon pick up time at our house that they wanted to have their birthdays at your place. Tracy and Caryn were awesome! Rueben and Preacher were so good.

We thanks you so much for allowing the party and making Julian ssssssoooooo happy! I’m sure she’ll email you herself to tell you all about it.

Hello Julie,

I just wanted to let you know that my family had a great time at the show on Sunday and really appreciated all of the help and patience from your staff. I am especially grateful to Jen who helped my daughter fix her bit while I went into a class.

We look forward to the next show!

Hi,

I stopped by West 20 today for the first time and I have to say that I was impressed! Not only with the store, but with the Sara who helped me in the search for a new saddle. She was so knowledgable and helpful. Even though I didn't buy one today, when I do decide to do so, I will be back your way. What I really appreciated was her encouragement when I mentioned I would like to go back to school for vet tech. 50-something girls like me really can use that positive conversation.

Dear Julie,

I can't thank you enough for the donation of West 20 for my benefit. It make me feel so uncomfortable, and grateful all at the same time. I can only imagine the amount of time you spent preparing for an all day horseshow.

Your facility is gorgeous and the people you have on staff are absolutely wonderful. I am so grateful that we had a beautiful fall day and such a wonderful turn out. I hope hope it was a good day for your store as well. One good turn begets another.

Thank you for your generosity and your time. To me, it is priceless...

...So, all I can say is "THANK YOU."

Tina

Dear Ms. Cyra,

I stopped at your new facility the other day, and was favorably impressed. The young lady in charge gave me a nice tour. You have done a good job in planning, and then a good job in executing the plan.

Yours truly,
Bob Mischka

Dear Julie,

Just wanted to take the time and drop you a short note to say thank you for the wonderfully run Horse Show that you and your staff did! Some of our Arabian Class "A" shows could take a lesson or two from your group.

Sincerely,
Joe and Susan Schulist

Dear West 20,

I am an eighth grade student that is practicing writing business letters for English class. Everybody in my class had to choose a company or store to write to. I chose to write to you because I think that you guys have an awesome tack store. I love coming to your place because everyone there is polite and helpful, everything that I need for my horse is in one place, and you guys have really cool items.

I am also writing to you because of your horse shows. I have shown at your place for a couple of years and I really enjoy it. There was always tension and confusion at all of the other shows that I went. At your place I can relax, enjoy myself, and have fun!

...Thank you for being an awesome tack store and reading my letter!

Your Sincerely,
Kait Standal

Hi Guys, I got some great new pictures of Lexi and myself. Hope they come through ok. She is awesome, we had so much fun together yesterday. I still can't believe how nice she is to ride. I usually ride alone, and she loves it, just her and me. What a pleasure it is to go by her after a long day at work. I can't say enough about what a great addition she is to my life. Have a Wonderful Day Patti

We just wanted to send you a quick thank you for making the new addition to the family a perfect match. We could not be happier with Ruby; her temperament and skill level far exceed our expectations for such a young horse. This is our first horse and the knowledge that you showed us during the process was one of many deciding factors when it came to acquiring Ruby, you truly show your compassion for these animals and it shows in the product that you produce. I could not have found a better horse even if I was kicked by one. Ruby is a gem that has enormous potential to be great and known by many. Our goals for Ruby are to honor her bloodline and make sure that she is doing a job that she enjoys and loves. We have only had Ruby for a week now and we already know that when it comes to acquiring another horse we are going to look your way. Please pass along my thanks to the many people that took the time to make this horse the horse it is, I
appreciate all of them as well.

Thank you for everything, you have gained a customer for a lifetime.

Exceptionally pleased,
Chris & Colleen Carie

I just wanted to say Thank You so much for helping me find a saddle that fits Quixote. We've been to two shows now with our Crates and our time has improved tremendously! We literally shaved 1.5seconds off our time and went from the 4th division to winning the second division! We are now only .5 a second off of the leader and with room to improve! We're going to aim for the NBHA Wisconsin State finals next year.

Most importantly, Quixote is happy, he doesn't pin his ears when I ask for a lope anymore and he has no indication of soreness through his back... even at the end of a full 2 days of barrel racing! That's proof in itself that a good saddle makes all the difference.

Stephanie and Quixote

I just spoke with your Dad for the umpteenth time today about the most wonderful horse in the world, and I thought that it was about time that I sat down and wrote and told you, too!

You well know that when I purchased Daisy from you last April, my riding experiences had left me without a lot of confidence. But I couldn't have found a better partner to help me through that than Daisy...

You knew what I needed in a horse and by some crazy miracle, Daisy was still there for me and a year later, I don't think there are words to describe the incredible relationship we have. With the help of a great trainer, Polly Hall, we have come so far and I know we will do so many great things together.

...to have a horse like Daisy has been more than a dream come true. She is everything you said she would be and 1000% more...and I can't tell you how blessed and lucky I feel every day I go to the barn and stand out in the pasture as she putters along to come see me! She is by far the smartest and sweetest mare that anyone has met - and they are always amazed when I tell them she's just turned 5 (her disposition has people thinking she's an 8 to 10 year old!)

Thank you? Well, it just doesn't begin to cover it, but if I could say it a million times over, that's how thankful I am, for you and for bringing Daisy into this world! She is one of the best parts of every day, and I am so grateful that she's a part of my life.

Hi Julie,

I wanted to say thank you for helping me pick a saddle last Sunday to use riding Poco. I've used it twice this week and I'm thrilled with it, both in its comfort and looks. It fits Poco perfect, and I love the new girth.
Hope to see you next time I stop in.

Thanks again so much,

Hi,
thanks so much for the nice show yesterday! We had a lot of fun. It was very well run and the facility is so nice! The staff is laid back, helpful & friendly. All of which contributed to our nice day.

Thanks,
Julie Roepke

Jayn Bowers and I would like to thank you for the year-end awards. Her and I have had a ton of fun at all the shows. Our four grandchildren and our grown children have gotten to show also. The shows are well run, priced for family fun, the grounds are great and the food GOOD. See you next year. THANKS 

Sue Baldukas

Hi Julie,

Just wanted to update you on Lexi. She is doing fantastic!! It was her 4th Birthday, this past Saturday. What a wonderful Mare.. She will do anything, and go anywhere. We have done alot of trail riding, and arena work. She seems to just love working. I have used her to shut a gate with her body, and goes quietly over bridges. We have not used oucr new horse trailer yet, but I am sure she will love it. I cannot thank you enough for matching us up, she is perfect for me.

Take Care
Patti Jacobi

Thanks to Julie's saddle fitting knowledge and assistance, we bought a saddle for my mutton-withered horse at 2007 Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio. We took it home and tried it out-it fit me and my horse perfectly!

Thank you!
Christy Mosier

I enjoyed the saddle fitting seminar that was held in Lansing, Michigan at the Horse Expo.

Debbra Brown

Hi,

I bought a turquoise Billy Cook barrel saddle from you from the Equifest Of Kansas in February and I'm pleased to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY love it.

Thank you!!!
Dianne Kutilek

Attended a seminar with Julie in East Lansing, MI. Loved the seminar. Julie was great. Very good information. It made the $25.00 parking ticket I got worth it.

Hope to she does more seminars here in the future.

Christine Anderson

I saw Julie at the Michigan Horse Council's 24th Annual International Stallion Exhibition and Trade Show on Friday, March 9,2007. I was very impressed with her knowledge of saddles and saddle fitting. I am thinking of coming to visit so that I may get just the right saddle for me and my horse.

Nancy Simmonds

Hi Julie

Met you at the Illinois Horse Fair, we sold bbq pork sandwiches in your building. I bought a pinchless bit for my mare. Tried it out Saturday at lessons and I think my mare did really well in it. Boy, did she stop good. She is lazy, so stopping isn`t much of an issue, but she was stopped before I was even set- with very litle pressure. She seemed real relaxed in it. I`m so glad I bought it, and I got one for my other mare too. Can`t wait to try it! I think Buffy helped me, I`m not great on names, but tell her thanks. Better git,

Ann Blasey

Julie - I love your place and I am always sending people your way.

Cathy Kittelson

Hi Julie,

Lexi has settled in nicely. She is quite the attraction at the barn. Everyone can't believe how quiet and accepting she is. I rode her around the property, as well as the indoor. She just takes everything in, and goes along perfectly. Today I rode in the indoor, while they were cleaning stalls. I was trotting her along, as he started up the fourwheeler, with the manure wagon attached, she just kept going as if it was not there. Some of the other boarders were on their horses, and were headed out to the trails, and I told them to just leave, to see how she would react. She didn't even care that they left us behind. WOW what a keeper. She loves to be brushed and pampered. 

I truly love her, and cant thank you enough for everything. I think I will need to do some shopping again very soon. LOL

I will keep you up to date on our adventures.

Patti (And Lexi )

Dear Julie,

Hi. My name is Denise Taylor, and my husband Micheal picked up a saddle West 20 had custom-made for my daughter Amanda. It is absolutely beautiful! Who ever made this saddle did a awesome job! My daughter (and my whole family) are extremely pleased with it, it was well worth the wait! Thanks for all the help you gave us picking out all the details of the saddle!

Sincerely, 
Denise Taylor
