At 9 a.m. this morning the doors opened and hundreds of buyers from tack shops around the country flooded in for this year’s AETA International Trade Show in King of Prussia, Pa.
It took us 10 hours to drive here yesterday from Vermont. We got just a teeny little bit lost. (Michelle and Sven’s Corgis were a little disappointed that their humans botched the directions.)
We’re in booth 963, with Sven and Michelle Osgood from One KnotTM Hairnet. (If you’re at the show, please stop by and say hello!)

It’s my first time here. I feel like I got a backstage pass to the candy shop. Every horse-related brand you’ve ever loved is here—from Charles Own and Ariat to Breyer and Baker’s.
I’ll post updates throughout the day.
