I came out front to help her and noticed it was Bob Baffert, I called her over to me and asked her ''are you kidding me? you don't know who he is?" I than called Bob over to me and told him I would set him up with an account, that way he could send a check and be billed for purchases, as well as receieve a Trainers discount and have his assistants come and purchase supplies for him. He was so grateful and relieved ,we ended up chatting about his horses, and he asked if I could recommend a bit for a new pony horse he bought. I put a real nice set together to match the nice pony horse and he left real happy. I was really grateful when he returned a few weeks later, paid his account in full and gave the store autographed photos of Silver Charm and Real Quiet. I found him to be a really neat guy, great sense of humor and very down to earth.
