Oh What A Night!

Wow!! Corb Lund played the Sunset Tavern in Ballard, Washington, on Sunday night, November 15th and the joint was rocking. He is a great entertainer. The energy was amazing from his band, the Hurtin' Albertans, himself and the audience.

Imagine a cold, wet, miserable night with Seattle big-drop rain and wind. That means it was not just the mist that keeps us wrinkle free and just slightly damp; but the pouring down rain that we natives refer to as "wet rain."

Other bands had been playing and Corb was scheduled at 10:30 pm. With a new CD out I wanted to see him perform and hear some of his new songs as well as old favorites. He came out and did not disappoint his fans - playing for 2 hours and treating us to an "Every Night is Friday Night" attitude.

The crowd was extremely diverse; every size, shape, color and walk of life was represented. There were cowboy hats, fedoras, wool caps, a King Ropes cap, cowboy boots, packers, tennis shoes and flip flops. It was really eye opening for me to see his fans and who they brought. In listening to them talk to Corb after the show, some had followed him down from his previous nights show in Vancouver, B.C. Others were headed to Portland for the next night's show. One thing was certain: this young man has started a loyal and adoring fan base.

Go see him and experience it for yourself. From ages 21 to 70, everyone was singing along, laughing and whooping it up, clapping, dancing and just having FUN. Now as I listen to his CD's it brings a smile to know I have seen Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans turn a miserable cold night into a warm memory. Vickie Mullen

NEW RELEASE!! Tierra Encantado


The 6th video in the Vaquero Series is now available!

Four hundred years ago, the Spaniards introduced the horse to the American West. El Caballo, as the Spanish called the horse, had a profound effect on this new world. The horse provided transportation for the padres, gave Native Americans mobility. And for the vaqueros, he provided the underpinnings for the ranching culture and the foundation for the American Cowboy.

The descendants of those early settlers still live in New Mexico and many of them still speak the dialect of the Conquistadors. Descendants of those early caballos are still here, too. The foundation the Spaniards laid for ranching is still practiced on the big spreads - the Bell Ranch, Pecos Ranch, and San Cristobal Ranch. It's all part of this great Southwest melting pot where Spanish, Indian, and Anglo come together, each preserving their own traditions, but forging a colorful culture unique to Tierra Encantado - the land of enchantment. Underscored by New Mexico's finest cowboy singers and musicians. Approximately 98 min.

Get your copy today to add to your collection at the Hitching Post Supply website ! And don't for get to check out the other titles in the Vaquero Series.

Welcome Fall!


I know some of you may be sad to say goodbye to summer, but for me fall is my favorite time of the year. Here in the Great Basin fall means cooler weather, shorter days (which mean hubby comes home off the range sooner :) ), weaning and a few brandings. The kids have settled into school and I get to start that time honored tradition of canning.
The cooler weather this season brings has us all throwing on an extra layer or two. That’s why we’re excited to bring you a whole new line of Paisley and Limited Edition Silk scarves-just in time to bundle up; and may I say, start thinking about Christmas presents.
These 100% silk scarves are sure to keep that crisp autumn air off your neck and turn a few heads at the branding trap. (Or maybe you just need a new one to add to your collection). In any case, head on over to the Hitching Post Supply website to check out all the beautiful new patterns and colors that we’ve added just for you!
