Despite the cold
weather and lack of

Lindsay happily
displays
merchandise in her
tack shop at
Appaloosa Xing. In
addition to tack
equipment, the
shop also carries
giftware, artwork,
clothing and
western boots.
Mt. Cannel tack stop a natural
extension into business venture
By Catherine O'Brien
TA Staff
Regardless of experience, opening a new business can
be risky as one ventures out into unknown waters.
That's why Carol Lindsay decided to start
her new tack shop slowly,
building on it a little at a time
as an extension of her already
established horse business.
With her husband David, the
Parkhill area residents opened the tack shop
in November 1992 as an extension of Appa-
loosa Xing.
Pronounced Appaloosa Crossing, the ranch
specializes in breeding, boarding, training and selling Appaloosa horses.
Lindsay wanted the tack shop to specialize in unique horse paraphernal-
:ia such as art, jewellery and giftware in addition to tack equipment.
:Having more than fifteen years experience as a jeweller and art gallery
owner, Lindsay said she wasn't nervous about starting the shop during a
recession. "I don't have to worry about the high cost of rent now that l
own the property," she said.
In the past, Lindsay has owned shops in Kitchener and most recently
Grand Bend. She sold the latter in 1989 so she could devote more time to
her love of horse breeding and horse training. Although she did stay on at
the Grand Bend store as a parttime manager, the store closed in the spring
of 1992 because of a decline in tourism.
It was at this time Lindsay began thinking about opening a specialty
shop. Customers, she said, were calling her at home asking her how they
could get the artwork and gift items she had once sold.
Lindsay saw a demand and knew she could get the supplies so her tack
shop slowly developed.
The specialty items are her competitive edge, she said. "The shop isn't
just for horse people; there are items that will appeal to the general pub-
lic."
Now Lindsay has ventured a little further into unknown waters, expand-
ing the shop to include western clothing, hats and western boots.
The boots, she expects, will be quite popular because it is difficult to get
a high quality western boot in Canada at an affordable price. The boots,
imported from North Carolina, will be available in a broad selection of
sizes, colours and styles.
But for now, Lindsay is gearing up for what will be her busy time as
horse shows begin and the customer flow increases into her tiny, but soon
to be expanded shop.
"R know kris :difficult .to display the artwork and clothing effectively,
i'tnstlsediahaving a.lot of space to work with," she said.

Provincial
cuts to hit
Usborne road
works budget
EXETER - Usbome Tovt n
council are looking for a somewhat
reduced road works budget this
year after discovering that provin-
cial road subsidies are being
trimmed by 1.6 percent.
Last year, the road department
spent $499,500 in their budget, in-
cluding the purchase of a new road
grader. Council however, at their
last meeting, recognized that with
cuts in provincial revenues, the tax-
ation portion of the budget should
be held to $215,900, the same
amount spent in 1992.
When added to provincial reve-
nues, that should produce a total
woad budget of about $430,000,
which should leave enough reve-
nues to upgrade some Usborne
roads since the major expenses of
The road works shed and new grad-
er are past.
A proposed budget is being pre-
sented to township council as of
press time.
