MEET Ken & Shary Hill K Bar H Saddle & Tack, LLC.

Ken started his passion for leather work in high school. Out of high school, Ken joined the marine core in 1968 and served active duty for 3 years. Out of service and job searching, Ken went to work for BOP (Buick/ Oldsmobile/Pontiac) in the Fairfax District, Kansas City, Kansas. After working there for around 10 years, Ken left BOP in 1982 and started trucking over the road. In 1983, he married his beloved wife, Shary. The two enjoyed five years driving over the road

together and Ken continued to do leather work part time. When Ken’s son came to live with them, the family bought horses and enjoyed trail riding together. Needing repairs done on their saddles and tack, they soon realized there was no one in the area that knew how to do repair work. This stimulated Ken and Shary to open their own shop, K Bar H Saddle & Tack, LLC. They chose the City of Kearney, Missouri for their store location. Offering their customers saddle & tack repair, custom made saddles & various

tack, boots, clothing and more for several years. As years when on, a customer requested Total Equine and they added it to their store. Ten years later it’s still a staple for them. In 2013, Ken and Shary closed the doors at Kearney and moved their business back to their home place where they continue to sell Total Equine, repair saddles and tack, create custom holsters, scabbards, knife sheaths, reins, bridles and more.
