The Stagecoach West

Owners Jack and Mary Jo Peacock opened The Stagecoach West in the late 1970s. They started small, but have grown into an 18,000 square foot store with 24 employees. They sell horse health products, riding tack, clothes, boots, and other horse related products. They are the largest Carhartt dealer in Western New York and they even carry a custom saddle under their own label. Behind Stagecoach West is a riding arena that local equine groups use for events at no charge. There is usually a horse show there every weekend from April to October. They also host an annual trail ride every July. The Stagecoach West is located on Route 5 and 20 in Irving. Visit www.stagecoachwest.com to view a full listing of products and listing of events.
