Bob Mickler's: Celebrating 60 Years in the Bluegrass
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.
Now, sixty years later, we celebrate our 60th Anniversary. In honor of this anniversary, we held a celebration event on October 9th and 10th. 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 and we want to congratulate the Grand Prize Winners: Jo Leone, Marian Zeitlin, Judy Miller, and Rhonda O'Rourke.
