Bob Mickler's: Celebrating 62 Years in the Bluegrass

Click here to read about upcoming employment opportunities

Bob Mickler's Lifestyle & Performance Riding Apparel celebrates a rich heritage in the heart of Central Kentucky. In 1949, Bob Mickler's first opened under the name Livestock Health and Supplies Co. and served the farmers, veterianarians, and equestrians of the Bluegrass with a wide variety of medicines and accessories for livestock. Since then, the store has evolved to accomodate the equestrian lifestyle with riding apparel, fine British-inspired clothing, footwear, and accessories.

A couple of years ago, we celebrated our 60th Anniversary. In honor of that anniversary, we held a celebration event on October 9th and 10th, 2009. The event included free gifts, free gift cards, a fundraiser for the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, trunk shoes, and more. We want to thank everyone that participated in our 60th Anniversary Celebration. We appreciate everyone who participated in the Raffle with donations to the Kentucky Equine Humane Center.

2010 FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games Tradeshow Vendor

Bob Mickler's was proud to be a trade show vendor for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. We brought you the Bob Mickler's store experience and enjoyed being part of this landmark event. Since its inception in 1990, the World Equestrian Games were held in Europe, and 2010 marked the first year that the games were held outside of Europe. We were incredibly excited that Lexington, Kentucky was granted the privilege of hosting the games that year!

Take a look back at our beginning as a Lexington, Kentucky institution with an article from The Thoroughbred Record (which later became The Thoroughbred Times).
