A Little Horsing Around

We took a little break from buying and selling vinyl to do a little horsing around. A few of us from B Side Records and Concerts had a fun day at Han-Ney Equestrian Center. Now, I want you to understand something, I am not a horse person. I have always been afraid of horses. This is something I'm pretty sure stems from me being bucked off of a horse when I was in fourth grade.

I haven't been able to get close to horses since then. Some of my friends and co-workers wanted to see me conquer this fear, so they took me to Han-Ney Equestrian Center. Let's just say I was less than enthusiastic about the whole situation. I'd rather be sorting the new vinyl we just purchased.

My outlook on the day quickly changed when we arrived and started with a tour of the facility. They do amazing things for sick and injured horses. The rehab and advanced technology they have for the horses in their care is truly amazing! I felt like the Grinch, my heart grew that day. By the time we got around to meeting the horses and saddling up, I was ready to do it! I had no fears. The horses and trainers there are all so wonderful, understanding, and calm. My anxiety completely disappeared. I think that it is safe to say that my new spirit animal just may be a horse!

In return for their hospitality and patience with me, we invited their staff to some check out B Side Records. Thankfully, they graciously accepted! We had so much fun showing everyone from Han-Ney around our store and guiding them on their newest vinyl choices.

I think we may have even converted some younger ones to vinyl! So, we can say with absolute certainty, mission accomplished! I got over my fear of horses and we educated others on the love of vinyl.
