Web Site Upgrade!

We started a major upgrade to our store Friday night at 11:00 PM (MST). The upgrade was to take about 2 hours. We ran into some difficulties, and over 24 hours later the upgrade is still not complete. We are terribly sorry for this inconvenience. We are currently working to complete the upgrade and are hopeful that we'll be back on line very soon.

We Love Hasty Horses!

We wanted to share this with you. We think this is a great example of the personal service a smaller company is able to provide. This is an email Lorenda received from Lynn Haste from Hasty Horses. If you would like a full size picture of the upcoming designs, just let us know. We'd be happy to email a copy to you.

Hi Lorenda,

Happy New Year!
I hope your holidays were fun and prosperous!

For this year, we will probably add 3 new designs.
I’m going to attach one of my drafts for the sign I’m taking to the AETA show next weekend in Orlando. It is a rough draft, but these are the designs that are being developed. I’ve made some notes on this picture for your own knowledge. It shows the order in which these designs are going to be
completed. Over the last year, I’ve had several requests for bay and chestnut horses. So, the colors you see on the sign will
probably change. I’ve attached an example of one change on “The Tree”. Also, the pieces that include dogs are very popular and
customers have requested other types of dogs. So this may also be an adjustment made that is not featured.

You might not be aware as yet, but, Back in the Saddle is going to carry “Lucky and Clover” in the spring catalog. This should certainly
help get the word out as they also have a large distribution.

If you are going to go to Orlando, and have the time, come by and say “hi”.
Lynn

New Painted Ponies Arrival!

We did receive a partial shipment of the new 11th release Painted Ponies on Friday. We got 6 out of the 8. In the warehouse now are: Twilight Hunters, Dreamwalker, Crazy Horse, Wish Upon A Star, Indian Summer and Trail of Honor. We have not received word yet on when to expect the other two ponies, Serenity and Prairie Horizon. We'll begin cataloging and shipping as soon as the last two are in. Remember, our original projected date to receive the new ponies was early February, so far we appear to be ahead of schedule. We'll keep you posted as things develop.

Trail of Painted Ponies 11th Release

Last night UPS emailed us a Quantum view showing a huge delivery coming from Westland Giftware, to be delivered Friday. This could only be the new herd. We don't know a lot more than that at this time. It may be the complete order, or just part of it. If the order is complete, we'll begin cataloging issue numbers and prepare to ship them out. As always, we'll ship the lowest issue number to the first person who placed their pre-order with us and then go down the list. Let's hope we get low numbers.

Incoming Merchandise Update

We received word from Breyer yesterday that we had a large shipment that left their warehouse on January 9th. After tracking down the carrier, we have been informed that our delivery will be here tomorrow between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. We received word today that another smaller shipment left on January 15th via UPS. That shipment will arrive on Monday and should contain some of the Breyer new releases. It sure will be great to be back in stock on so many items we've been out of since Christmas, and of course we can't wait to see the new releases.

We also got a quantum view from UPS informing us that Westland had shipped a Trail of Painted Ponies order that should be delivered tonight. Westland is also telling us that another shipment left yesterday. Dare we hope that some of the items we've had on back order are about to be delivered?

Anyway, this is all very good news. We look forward to stocking the store tonight and tomorrow for your shopping this weekend.
