Welcome to Re-Ride Consignment Tack Shop LLC.. We have been providing a place for horse folks to "recycle" their good used tack and equipment since 2002. We have met and hope to continue to enjoy meeting hundreds of horse lovers in the Carolina foothills.
Bailey - 1988-2010 - JUST a good horse
Paula M Mierop, President
In 2002, after years of learning the consignment store business working for the Frog and Swan, Inc, in Tryon, NC (Only the best antique consignment store ever!) Paula founded Re-Ride. She saw the need for a store that would cater to the economical horseperson. Re-Ride has become a staple tackshop for the horse "addict" in the area.
Paula's own horse "addiction" began at birth. Her father, Vic Bitter, was great at filling the pastures with good horses, mostly Appaloosas as well as some great grade quarterhorses. Why he bought Nippy home (the pony who lived up to his name) is a mystery but he was fun!
Over the years, Paula has ridden quite a few miles and styles, learning the different tack needed along the way. She has ridden and shown Western, Hunt Seat, Saddle Seat and has competed in Pleasure Driving Shows and CDE's. Her riding now consists of enjoying the many trails of the foothills.
A Good Dog!
