After having a great meeting yesterday, I am really excited about our MOPPORTUNITIES. Can I put it in the dictionary as a new word? Nothing like combining Moxie and opportunity as one fantastic brand new word.
So things are really starting to take off now for Moxie Equestrian Southwest! However, we are in need of salespeople in Arizona, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas to sell our Moxie Equestrian products.
We are looking for two types of salespeople - are you interested or do you know someone who may be interested based on the following basic descriptions?
#1 - Face-to-face sales at shows, barns, events, tradeshows, etc. The salesperson who would be best matched for this opportunity is familiar with equestrian people and shows within their city or surrounding area. This opportunity allows individuals to sell as a Moxie Mobile rep to people at shows, local barns, events, and trade shows within their general vicinity. Most shows occur during the weekends, with the occassional day or evening sales opportunity.
#2 - Storefront Sales Rep - this is a more intense opportunity for individual sales reps to sell to local businesses within their city or surrounding area. These reps do not necessarily need to be familiar with tack and feed stores in their areas, although it may be helpful. Other stores may be interested in carrying our clothing, dog blankets or organization totes. This sales rep opportunity would be a match for someone with experience selling to stores, for example, resorts, tack and feed stores, and sporting goods stores. Most of this person's time will be dedicated to visiting stores and following up with the stores during the week.
Do you know of anyone who has great customer service, follow through, and is motivated to sell a fantastic product? Contact me at sarah@moxieequestrian.com, if you are interested in either opportunity. Don't miss out on being a part of a new and exciting group selling High Performance Fabrics with Absolute Functionality!

Help us get Moxie Equestrian groovin' in the Southwest Region!

Blowin' in to the Breezy 'Burg
Many of you probably know that the Williams' family is full of pranksters. So, to keep up the family tradition, we led Boyd's parents astray and had them thinking we were in Salt Lake City, UT - but we really drove all the way to Ellensburg, WA and arrived on their doorstep at about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday. Surprise!!!! (Liz says she had a feeling we were pulling a fast one on them).
We got the RV set up at the neighbor's house - thanks to the Kelleher family for putting up with a 40' roadblock in their driveway. Their daughter has been hanging out with Caden and they have been having a great time.
On Saturday, we also did some laundry and got the bikes fixed up. Caden had two flat tires from our wonderful excursion from the RV park in Grand Junction, CO that needed to be fixed.
Sunday, we went to church and really enjoyed seeing family and friends. Good job to Pastor Kev on an excellent sermon!
We went for a bike ride around campus on Sunday night and Caden was disappointed when it was done. She was having a great time. We made it back just in time to have dinner with family friends, Lee and Doreen - lots of laughs and there may have been a spilled drink. Was it mine? I would really like to blame it on someone else, but there were too many witnesses.
Monday brought more RV issues. We spent about 1/2 the day at Canopy Country RV waiting for news about our brand new A/C unit that is no longer working. Guess what??!?!?!?!? It has to be replaced, it is compeletely busted. This will be the third replacement. Is there an RV lemon law? Although without all of the challenges, we wouldn't know what to do.
Monday afternoon Caden went swimming and we had mini tostadas - Yummy... and Winegar's Ice Cream - YUMMY!!!
Breezy Tuesday has included work, phone calls, a haircut for me and Caden, and lunch at Red Horse Cafe. We are getting ready for a simple dinner and then ... more Winegar's Ice Cream!!!!
We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings - hopefully warmer weather! :-)

No Air Conditioning!
Okay, so in typical Williams' form, we have stumbled across another obstacle. The toy-hauler part of our RV is suddenly missing air conditioning. Why is this such a big deal? Because the front air conditioning isn't working very well either and we are trying to cool the whole trailer in 100+ degree temperatures. The other issue is that the back section is the "dog room." It is really warm in there. Poor Milton and Lambert! Maybe if we trade them in for a lizard things will be okay.
Boyd spent some time yesterday trying to repair the air conditioning. I called the dealership and they referred us to a place here in Moab. Unfortunately, they don't do air conditioning repairs. We are going to try to survive today in the heat. We plan on heading towards Salt Lake City tomorrow.
Yesterday, when the temperatures hit their highs, we took the dogs and Caden and drove through Arches National Park. It was really pretty. Caden and I took a couple short hikes, while Boyd stayed with the dogs. He has been on all the trails here before. Caden got her first Jr. Ranger badge - she had to do an oath and everything. She also got a book that will help her keep track of the National Parks we visit. So far, we have visited the Colorado National Monument and Arches National Park. Not bad for being on the road for just one week.
We have lots of work to do today, so we will be able to experience the sauna-like conditions all day!

Moab, UT
We are in Moab, UT enjoying the beautiful scenery while Boyd and I work and Caden does her school work. We will most likely head towards Ellensburg from here. We will be here in Moab until Friday, as Boyd and I both have some deadlines and phone calls to complete.
We got into Moab last night after a quick drive from Grand Junction, CO. We stopped in Fruita for about 45 minutes at a Dinosaur museum and then got here mid afternoon, hooked up the RV and worked for a bit. Then, we went to dinner at the Moab Brewery - yummy!!! We got some groceries and some gelato! What could make a better day??
We are all settling into living in a small space and are getting use to shuffling things around and trying to make room where there is none.
We will work on getting some pictures posted on this blog soon - between camera issues and computer issues, they haven't quite made it to the blog yet!

Getting in the routine
Sorry for the delay in postings. We have been very busy the past couple of months since my last post - Pony Club camp, a two week trip to Texas, a trial trip in the RV, multiple yard sales in 110+ degree weather, no air conditioning in the RV or our house, selling the house, moving full-time into the RV, and getting ready to go by doing one million last minute things. Multiple big issues with the RV, damage to the truck, selling horses, finding homes for dogs, and a last minute unexpected surgery also added immensely to the drama.
I want to spend some time giving additional details and sharing pictures, but I will need to do so later.
This week, we are in Grand Junction, CO, helping our friends' son, Jake, move into his dorm at Mesa State College. The weather is beautiful and we have extended our stay a couple of days. Of course, it isn't just because of the weather that we have extended our stay. In the typical Williams' form, we have some issues with the RV and we need to get them fixed before moving on.
Caden has started her own company - Decked Out Denim. Her email address is deckedoutdenim@gmail.com. She also has a blog. If you are interested in following it, please email me at sarah@moxieequestrian.com. She is decorating jeans and other denim items and selling them. She has had numerous compliments on her sample pair that she wears.
Until the wheels start turning again!

Lots to do
It has been a busy few days as we continue to finalize details before our big journey begins. We are trying to get ready for horse camp, as well as get our house listed for sale, sell the horses, find homes for dogs, fish, and maybe Boyd. Just kidding, I need Boyd's help to haul the trailer and to cook!
We have been running around with doctor and dentist appointments, vet appointments, giving shots to the horses, getting supplies for camp and the RV, and generally going a mile a minute.
We had a few issues come up with the RV, so it is in the shop a few days early. It was supposed to go back on Friday, but the A/C stopped working. When it is over 100 degrees outside, you really need A/C in order to function in the RV. So, it is in the shop - hopefully getting fixed!
We have a tentative road trial trip planned for Father's Day weekend. We are going up to a campground at Mormon Lake. They can fit the RV in and it has full hook-ups, so we can see if everything is working. It is also supposed to be much cooler up there, then in the valley. We will see how it all works out!
Morgan, our precious male brindle boxer, had brain surgery (he got tutored) yesterday. His little boy parts remained up inside, so it was a pretty rough experience for him. He is still feeling under the weather, but we expect him to perk up soon!
We still have a lot to do, but the list is getting slightly shorter!

Congratulations Jake!
Last night was our friend Jake's high school graduation. We are so proud of him. He was Student Body President, so he gave the final speech. He did a great job! The entire ceremony was over in about an hour and a half, which seemed impressive because of the number of graduates. The ceremony was held outdoors and the weather was fantastic.
As we watched the ceremony, it was interesting seeing a current high school graduation and comparing it to my graduation many long years ago. This high school graduation had comments posted everywhere about not allowing noise makers during the ceremony. They had adults posted at the end of each row, as well as at the back and sides of the ceremony. They probably had over 50 adults posted around the kids. The school did not allow things to be written on the caps. It was almost like a military ceremony instead of a celebration. It wasn't "fun" at all. It didn't have an aspect of achievement, but instead felt like the kids were all on time-out. It was very strange.
There were kids who managed to buck the system by somehow smuggling in beach balls. Two got thrown up and promptly recaught during the ceremony. There were also families who broke the rules and used noise makers, car horns, and fireworks. I bet next year there is something in the program that mentions no noise makers, car horns or fireworks.
After the graduation, we were able to give Jake our congrats and then spend about an hour getting out of the parking lot to go home. The traffic was crazy!!! Overall, I think it was a great evening - mostly because we are proud of Jake and what he has been able to achieve. I hope Jake continues to demonstrate leadership and goes out into the world and shines.
