You'll find us wherever horses talk under moonbeams and trailers are joined with cabins. Where short creeks ripple on forever and so are called long. We are Del and Major and are also the tag team champions of the world. And we make a mean biscuits and gravy and welcome our friends to join the festivities so long as we get paid.
