charm, integrity, toughness, and a good pair of boots.

These are a pair he wore in the 1948 classic Eyes of Texas.

Every kiddo wanted to ride, dress, and look like Roy Rogers.  Roy, his wife Dale, his golden palomino, Trigger, and his German Shepard, Bullet, were featured in more than 100 films between 1937 and 1951.

During my design process, I scoured for old boots with embroidered

double eagle motifs and here are some of my favorites..

Thanks to Patsy Montana and her classic “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” as they inspired our Boot Scoot’n Boogie Collection.
I love a good yodel!

Kentucky Derby Weekend is all about the
flamboyant hats and the fashionable onlookers!

.

Back in 2008, I was asked to design a jacket for the lady of WinStar Farms. She requested a special jacket to wear to the Kentucky Derby. Their horse was Colonel John and although he didn’t win, he was such an amazing horse. In that same year, he won the Santa Anita Derby and the Wickerr Stakes, and also ran 2nd in a hard-fought race at the Goodwood Stakes. Simply a beautiful thoroughbred.

The horses singing backup, gets me every time!!

The picture can include your whole family, you and your mother,
someone who cared for you like a mother, basically
anyone who symbolizes “mother” to you.

Post the picture to our Facebook Wall and tell us a bit about who’s
in the photo or a story about them. This counts as ONE entry in our
2012 Mother’s Day Contest! Post THE SAME picture to our
DOUG Facebook Page and you’ve got yourself submitted for
both page’s prizes! We are giving away a Double D Ranch tote bag
for the Double D page and a DOUG tee on the DOUG page!
