Arizona in the Saddle July 2014 | Page 6

Dear Arizona, S ummer is here! During the summer months, most equine based businesses lose half of their income, primarily due to the departure of temporary winter residents that return home to cooler states for the summer. Arizonans need to support these and other local businesses during the summer, in order to ensure their success. Many things would not be possible without them. Wonderful deals are available throughout this publication, making it easy for you to spend your shopping dollars with our advertisers. You can find anything you may need for your pet or livestock at you local feed store. Not to mention the wonderful service you will receive every time you shop! These businesses appreciate every dollar that is spent in their store and they realize the future of their beloved business depends on you. Do your part in keeping the equine industry striving all year long and help keep the Western culture alive!!
