Redneck Fancy Tack .....what's with the name?

Redneck Fancy Tack .....what's with the name?

You may have wondered where the name Redneck Fancy came from, so let me take you on a journey of what all is behind our name. This starts way back in the mid 90s (yes, I'm dating myself), when I was in love with the song Redneck Girl by the Bellamy Brothers. I actually still have that song on my playlist and each time I hear it, I smile remembering being that redneck girl who "likes to cruise in Daddy's pickup truck" - which happened to be a 1993 F350 crew cab two-toned red and black big a$$ Ford truck named Chuck (after none other than Chuck Norris of course). That truck hauled our copper bumper pull trailer all over Roseau County to team pennings, a Centennial Wagon train and innumerable trail rides. Pretty soon, my dad had no choice but to get me my own truck because I guess a farmer without his big truck to pull trailers and water tanks doesn't work so well. (Sorry Dad!)

Fast forward to 2020, as I started envisioning my tack business, Redneck Fancy kept resonating with me. I always say we are fancy people, not country club fancy, but redneck fancy. I like glitz and glam but am not afraid of getting dirty. If my boys were ever really dirty, it made my heart happy because it meant they had a good day. Either a day of hard work that is good for the character, or they had fun mudding with their four-wheelers splashing through the puddles. There is absolutely no ill-intent behind the name, especially if you know where I come from - an eclectic family of adopted kiddos, differing diversities and different abilities. We love everyone. Always have and always will.

So, if you have a little Redneck Fancy in you, know that you are my people and I hope to cross paths with you soon!
