Wow! It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since we opened The Wire Horse in our Lennon, Michigan location. The Wire Horse began as a small home-based business with Julie sewing show clothing, hoods and tail tubes and went by the name of "JP Horse Products". Jenny became a dealer for the newly founded Royal Wire Equine products and Julie added a few more people to help her with the sewing as the demand grew for her quality made products. Before long, the business outgrew Julie's basement, and it was time to find a building with more room for sewing and storage. When the property in Lennon became the new base of operations, Julie & Jenny decided to add some tack and other horse supplies into the mix.
And so here we are, 10 years in Lennon, with a staff of 10 full and part-time employees...and several more that pitch in during trade show season and sale time. We have added the original building to give us more space for the showroom, enlarged the sewing room and give much needed storage space. The Wire Horse carries a full line of clothing, equipment and supplies for riders of every discipline. We attend many large trade shows throughout the year, including our 2700 square foot booth at the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus Ohio. Check out the article in September's Saddle Up magazine for the whole Wire Horse story.
We are gearing up for our 10th Anniversary Sale this coming weekend ( Sept. 10, 11 & 12) and are looking forward to seeing friends both old and new. Make plans to visit us in person...or shop on-line. And thanks to you all for making it a great 10 years serving your equine needs. Here's to another terrific 10 years... and more!
