Miles City Saddlery: The Silver Lining


Since I've had to spend the day stranded in Miles City, Montana (see my previous post), I decided to make the best of it, grab a cab, and pay a call on the world-famous Miles City Saddlery.

What a great place! It reminded me of the great Western stores of my youth (Phyl, you will know what I'm talking about)--with walls of gorgeous boots and hats, a full line of Western wear and gifts, saddles and trappings like you wouldn't believe, AND a saddlery museum.

Horse-gal heaven.

Here's Diana, a store employee, wrapping up some of my purchases. And, true Western woman that she is, she even gave me a ride back to my temporary motel digs.

Oh Julie, can not tell you how much I miss that store. There is nothing like a REAL western store to lose your mind in. I am getting jealous - first you shop at Cave Creek and now Miles City. Always wanted to go to the Bucking Horse sale there. Hope your Credit Card held up! LOL

Man what a great looking store! I'd lose my mind in there! Closest thing we have to heaven in California is Broken Horn in LA and that is 400 miles away!
