Midwest Open & Invitational Tie Down & Breakaway

01/13/2026

Man...we can relate to this with old habits!

Just as in life and relationships, some lumps of clay are just not okay. You can relayer them a thousand times, and wedge them forever and add moisture and they still aren’t right. So you place them on your wheel and center the best you can, maybe resorting to a sort of lathe method to make them round. Then you work past the thicknesses and open the air bubbles and hope for the best. Sometimes it works beautifully and sometimes it just collapses. When it fails you, it’s perfectly okay to admit defeat and pitch that lump of clay in the trash and use a different lump. Sometimes that is the best solution. And you wonder what took you so long to do it.

From blizzards with negative temps to 100 degrees and humid, these products hold up for YEARS!!

FAMILY-OWNED. RANCH-TESTED. NO B.S.

When we say "designed by horsemen, for horsemen," we’re not spinning some feel-good marketing line. We mean every word.

Every K&D Equestrian product is built tough and tested tougher—right here on our family-owned F-Bar Ranch in Gainesville, Texas. If it can’t survive real ranch work, it doesn’t leave the ranch. Period.

We’re not about gimmicks. We’re about gear that gets the job done:

Buckets? Built to take a beating and keep holding water.

Grooming tools? Rugged, reliable, and ready for daily use.

Feeders and forks? Strong enough to handle your stock—and your standards.

We don’t do dainty. We do durable.
Because when your gear has to work as hard as you do, "ranch-tested" isn’t optional—it’s required.

So if you’re tired of big-box junk that cracks under pressure, step up to gear that’s family-owned, ranch-tested, and Texas tough.
