Hay Girl, Hay!

I love products with family pets on their labels, especially dogs and horses. Take my money! Meet Chrome, a shy and relaxed family horse at Union Horse Distilling Co. I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Chrome in person, but as a horse enthusiast, I am quite sure that he would enjoy some alfalfa, molasses, and a sugar cube or two.

Cheers to a great day at the barn y’all!
