Lucchese boots started in San Antonio, Texas in 1880 by Sam Lucchese Sr. and his two sons, Cosimo and Sam Jr. The family's dedication to boot making and their customers kept the business alive. During the early 1960s, the founder's grandson decided to rethink the art of boot making. The world has never known a finer, more knowledgeable craftsman than Sam Lucchese Jr. He studied and developed a firm understanding of the conformation of the human foot. This allowed him to build a one of a kind boot that fit like no other. Today Lucchese is still known for its extraordinary comfort, quality, and fit which gives them the reputation as one of the greatest boots ever made. Lucchese boots are one of the few boot companies left whose boots are handmade right here in the United States.
Time, dedication, and craftsmanship go into every boot Lucchese makes. The unique boot last, the best hides, and handmade construction of each component set Lucchese boots apart from their competition. Each hide is chosen and inspected by human hands. Only the best hides go into making a boot. Customers can choose from a variety of toes, heels, soles, and fits for a boot that will meet their comfort and individual needs. Each boot is inspected multiple times by only the best craftsmen. Every pair of boots that leaves the Lucchese Boot factory meets exception one expects of a Lucchese boot.

Minimizing Your Carbon “Hoof” Prints
Earth Day is a great day to enjoy the environment. In my opinion, the best way to enjoy the environment in the horse world is by trail riding. Trail riding allows for you to experience the Earth and see Mother Nature at her finest. Believe it or not, while you are enjoying the Earth and trail riding, you can also help our planet.
While you are out trail riding, make sure to stay on a trail designated for Horses. Horses prefer to take the easy way on rides, whether it is the trail or not. Allowing your horse to steer away from the path may damage plants and leave manure and waste behind. If these areas are not tended to, and cleaned regularly, it may lead to larger problems such as streams being littered resulting in unsafe drinking water for horses.
The speed and style of riding determines the type of trail you should be on. If you are on a trail that has high peaks and low valleys, you may want to slow down so your horse is not scrambling and getting stuck in mud. Horses’ hooves act as suction cups and when embedded in mud, may break down particles and causing the erosion effect.
In conclusion, be mindful. Assess the best conditions for you and your horse. How can you ride without making a negative impact on the trail and its surroundings? Research ways on how you can volunteer in your community. Pitch in and clean up trails for extended use and enjoyment.

Spa Time or Barn Time?
Stress Awareness Month
How Your Horse Can Affect Your Stress Levels
Can horses decrease stress in your life?
Yes. Horses can dramatically change your stress levels in a positive way. Horses have been used in clinics for disgruntled teenagers, veterans with PTSD and people living with disabilities. In all cases horses decrease stress.
How do horses decrease stress levels?
Horses are animals of prey. They react negatively to negative emotions. You have to learn how to work with a horse, not have a power struggle with a horse. Learning how to work with a horse, gives you a sense of accomplishment that mirrors everyday life. You can use the skills learned at the barn and use these skills with people you interact with everyday. The relationship between rider and horse is about trust, and teamwork. These are skills that greatly alter stress in the workplace. When teamwork between horse and rider is accomplished, the outcome is amazing.
Horses have a calming effect on people and respond positively to positive emotions. When you are at the barn, think of your “barn time” as spa time; the more you are there, the calmer you become. And always remember to give back. Take a little extra time while brushing your horse and talking to your horse. The outcome will be positive for both rider and horse.
