Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will you sponsor me?
We receive an incredibly large volume of requests and can only extend sponsorships to a select few. Unfortunately, we are not granting any new sponsorships at this time. If new sponsorship opportunities become available in the future, we will make an announcement on our Facebook page. Individuals that we sponsor receive product only, we do not give cash. They receive only Running Roan Tack brand products (headstalls, breast collars, miscellaneous tack products). We do not give other products that we carry (Classic Equine, Cowgirl Tuff Co, etc) to individuals that we sponsor.

2. Can I come shop at your store?
We are mobile and online only, we do not have a brick and mortar store. However, we can accomodate you if you are in the Canby, Oregon area and you want to pick up an item rather than have it shipped. To do this, please contact us to make an appointment.

If you would like to shop and see what we have, it is best if you can come see us at an event or check out our website. We store a large amount of inventory in the tack trailer and it's much easier to see everything when it is unloaded and merchandised at a show.

We also operate a leather shop where we make our line of custom leather goods by hand from scratch. Please understand that our shop is not available for tours. We do not give leatherworking instruction or accept apprentices, paid or unpaid.

3. How fast will my order be shipped?
Orders are processed and shipped within 24-48 hours (excluding Saturdays and Sundays) after they are placed. If we are away vending at an event, we will try our best to get your order shipped as quickly as possible. Most domestic orders are shipped via USPS Priority Mail which delivers in 2-3 business days. Larger items (saddle pads, cowboy boots, hats) are shipped by UPS Ground. If we are out of stock on an item, we will contact you by phone or email to update you on the status of your order.

4. Do you ship internationally?
Yes we do! International orders are shipped via USPS air mail.

5. What is your return policy?
We will gladly return or exchange items purchased from Running Roan Tack that are returned to us in brand new, unused condition (clothing must be unwashed). Customers will be credited for the purchase price of the item. For exchanges, we will ship the replacement item to you at no charge. We ask that you contact us before returning an item.

6. Do you take special or custom orders?
Yes we can! Just let us know what you'd like and we'll quote you a price.

About Running Roan Tack
In 2002, Heather Zielinski enthusiastically combined her love of horses and interest in graphic/web design with her specialty retail and business experience to create a new venture. All the company needed was a name. The inspiration for the name of the business came from Heather's barrel horse, a fiesty red roan mare named "Myra". Tragically, Myra passed away suddenly on December 1, 2008. Heather and Myra had been a team since 1998 and she remains the namesake of the company.

In June of 2009, Running Roan Tack welcomed the addition of Power Pays, a bay roan AQHA gelding. Heather is enjoying a new journey with her new mount.

Running Roan Tack opened for business on September 9, 2002 and enjoyed a successful run on eBay gaining many loyal customers from around the globe. Originally developed as a concept store featuring Cowperson Tack, Running Roan Tack has grown to offer many brands of tack, as well as items to outfit riders too.

Today, Running Roan Tack focuses on developing a website providing a fun and secure online shopping experience in addition to operating a polished and professional mobile tack trailer. Keeping with her progressive attitude regarding life and horsemanship, Heather views the business as a continual work in progress. Running Roan Tack is proof that dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to a dream really is worth it.

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”
- Gail Devers
