Building a Family Business

We have Tray Pelster on again today, New Mexico Horsewoman and Businesswoman with the Wild Cayuse Cinches business. Tell us what ranching life is like, what's the experience like there?   It's a wonderful experience. Every day I learn something new and I'm starting to build more things that aren't just cinches, cinches and breast collars and the different varieties and cinches and breast collars and women's apparel like purses, purse straps. And now I'm getting more back into leather. My father did it for a long time because he couldn't afford to. It's along the same concept my father could not afford to buy tack so he just started making it. So he makes all of his own head stalls and rains and breast collars and anything he needed he just made. And that inspired me to have the same concept of if I need it, why can't I just make it? It's available to me, it's cheaper and I can make a good quality product so why not? Just challenging yourself to do this. And since I've had my kids, this business has been a godsend. My children love helping me with my cinches. They love going to trade shows and meeting new people and learning the trades of other things and it's really a family based business. It's a true blessing to be in this community of people who care enough about other people to be supportive of that.
