Prichards Distillery
Rum Hand Crafted In Traditional Pot Stills
Take a step back in time, a time when rum was America 's largest export and the fire of the American Revolution. With over a hundred rum distilleries in New England alone, the history of America is steeped in rum. Today however, in this age of assembly line production and an exodus of job opportunities to overseas manufacturing, the words "hand crafted" and "American made" seem to have little relevance in today's market place. Even the production of classic American distilled spirits and the trend towards acquisitions, mergers and mass production coupled with the development of column stills, could not be understood by the master distillers of yester-year. Prichards' Rums are an accurate recreation of America's first distilled beverage. Our rums are made from sweet American molasses from the plantations of Louisiana and distilled in traditional copper pot stills using the techniques of the master distillers of an older time. Prichards' Fine Rums are most certainly, nothing like the rum of the tropics we have come to know today.Please visit us at www.prichardsdistillery.com

Turnbow Trailers
What is your money's worth? This was the big question we had to answer when we first began manufacturing trailers five decades ago.
We asked ourselves, Should we build a cheap line and try to undersell our competition? Or should we shoot for quality? We finally decided that since we would be dealing with quality people, we would offer them nothing but quality merchandise.
So we chose the best materials available, hired the best craftsmen we could find and spent a lot of time and money in research and experimentation to come up with a trailer that was second to none.
But it didn't end there. Despite the beating we sometimes take on supposedly "competitive" lines, we are constantly changing and improving our models to fit the needs of every horse owner. Your problems become our problems, because we want every TURNBOW owner to be a proud TURNBOW owner.
Turnbow Trailers has long been regarded as the innovator in new designs and ideas. Carl Turnbow has devoted his life to designing and manufacturing a safe, quality trailer.
Our sales office in Oilton, Oklahoma is in the heart of horse country and we must live with the people we serve. Not only that, the demand for TURNBOW TRAILERS continues to grow by leaps and bounds all across the nation. Now we know we made the right decision in the beginning and will, consequently, never sacrifice quality for quantity building TURNBOW TRAILERS in the future.
So buy with confidence and discover for yourself why those who know, really DO pull a TURNBOW! For more information visit www.turnbowtrailers.com
Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders & Exhibitors Assoc.
The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association (TWHBEA), headquartered in Lewisburg, Tennessee, is the oldest and most prestigious organization devoted to the promotion of the breed.
Founded in 1935, the breed registry was established to record the pedigrees of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Its goal is to maintain the purity of the breed, to promote greater awareness of the Tennessee Walking Horse and its qualities, to encourage expansion of the breed, and to help assure its general welfare. Originally bred as a utility horse, the Tennessee Walking Horse is an ideal mount for riders of all ages and levels of experience. The breed easily adapts to English or Western gear, and its calm, docile temperament combined with naturally smooth and easy gaits insure the popularity of the Tennessee Walking Horse as the "world's greatest show, trail, and pleasure horse."

Centaur® Fence
Centaur® Fence was developed because inventor, Ed Robbins, witnessed a tragic accident almost 30 years ago – a friend’s horse became entangled in a traditional wire fence, and was subsequently euthanized due to extensive injury. It was then that Robbins, an avid horseman, swore he would create fencing material that would be extraordinarily safe for horses. Today at Centaur®, all the rail and single strand products utilize HTP®, an exclusive cross-linked polymer technology, to create an incredibly strong and flexible horse fence.
Each rail or strand is installed in a continuous run, allowing any impact to be
absorbed by
the entire length of the fence. Horses are safely contained and property value
is increased. These are the qualities that make Centaur® an asset, not a liability.
