Well, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I'm sure it is just temporary VBG.

First I would like to thank Dave for his trust and faith in handing over his 
"baby" to me.  I will certainly do everything I can to make him proud.  
Obviously, I will also do my best to continue his great reputation for customer 
service, excellence and value.

I would also like to ask for just a little bit of patience  in the beginning 
while I get things in place and running smoothly again.  I will have to check 
on things that Dave would have already known, but hopefully it won't take me 
long to get up to speed.

I plan to introduce several new products in the near future, the first of which 
is the new Camptown Wash N' Wear, which will be an all synthetic, stock size 
harness, for an introductory price of $549 until May 1, after which it will be 
$599.  We hope these will be ready to ship within 4 weeks.

The traditional Camptown Harness will now be known as the Camptown Custom 
Classic, and will continue to be a leather lined, made-for-your-horse harness 
with a few new changes that I know people will be excited about.  These will 
include,  a shaped 
sweetheart breastcollar with buckle in traces, 3 choices for neck strap design, 
3 choices for blinker design  and  3 choices for reins as standard. Although 
the price for the harness will go up slightly, from $720 to $749, it will be 
available at a special introductory price of $699 until May 1st.

I am also excited to be offering the brightly  colored harness that I have been 
driving
marathons with since last year.  The package will include the neck strap brow 
band, noseband and hip straps for  $100.  Reins are available for $60-90, 
depending on the material selected.  A few people have already ordered this 
package, so I expect to see lots of fashion statements out there  VBG.  The 
colors available in Beta are dark green, red, blue, purple, florescent orange, 
and bright pink. Bright yellow and lime green are
available in bio,  along with many other colors I am still getting information 
on, so if you don't see the color you can't live without listed above, give me 
a call  ! ! !  For those of you going to the AZ CDE, watch for Donna Lutter on 
the marathon with her new bright yellow harness.  I can't wait to see the 
red/white and blue one I have coming for an order last week.  FUN  !!!  

We will also be coming out hopefully within 4 to 6 weeks, with  the Camptown 
version of the super-shaped breastcollar, which I am calling the Camptown 
Freedom Collar.  I have looked at the products available, and made some changes 
that will  combine the best features of all of them, I think you will agree.

A couple small items will be the bright yellow "Please Pass Wide and Slow " 
sign for your carriage for $20,  and the "whisker" dressage markers I have 
mentioned on the list, for $15.


Over the years I have wished for a greater variety of choices in driving 
reins..... You know me, I want quality, choice and I want a reasonable price.  
I'm holdin' the reins now, so to speak, and it's going to happen.  !!!!!!!!!!  
Looking for super grip beta reins, reins with stops in beta or leather, rainbow 
reins, braided reins ???????


Give me a call.  Watch for cotton web reins with rubber threading available in 
the near future.  

ANYBODY out there that has something harness-related they haven't been able to 
locate, or couldn't find someone willing to custom make  -  give me a call.

The web site will be undergoing major renovation and hopefully within 6-8 weeks 
will have all the products and many more pictures.  In the mean time you can 
contact me at the same 800 number 800-717-0957.  

For those of you wanting to contact Dave, you can reach him on his home phone.

Thanks again for all the good wishes.
