Go check out Don Gonzales Saddlery on Hwy 21. They make awesome saddles and tack. If you like hunting then Gander Mountain is pretty neat, It's on hwy 6 bypass by Academy.
I think Don Gonzales is at the finals this weekend in Oklahoma. Not sure if the shop is open today... Probably worth the trip over just to see, some pretty nice gear in there.
I'd also stop by Catalena Hatters in Bryan.
