ROCKING HORSE COUNTRY STORE — Local services in Rutland Town

Walked in was ignored by woman at counter, thats ok though maybe she was busy... my 12 and 14 year old were with me, we got very excited about several things in the store and started to make a pile of items to purchase at the counter (didn't see a basket if there were any) still ignored but seemingly was being followed around by the woman 😑... any who doesn't stop us from shopping and we loved everything we saw , all super cute stuff , our pile continues to grow on the counter ... we are ready to check out and the only thing the woman ended up saying was the total.... we were the only ones there and spent a good amount of time and money there , not even a " have a nice day ".... hopefully the clerk(owner?) Was just having a bad day, i would love to come back as we visit VT often and would much rather support small business (especially one with lots of Moose themed items) but also dont wish to...

This is a great place place for tourists to go & I love how they carry artisanal products such as cheeses especially being a cheese hound. You'll find the usally tourist stuff such as tee-shirts, shot glasses & key chains. However what distinguishes itself from other shops is the amount of unique high level craft's such as blankets last time I was in there were crocheted ones for babies & absolutely gorgeous ones for your house. I am not 100% sure but I believe the owner takes other artists items on consignment. Theres beautiful stealing silver jewlery & jewelry you've never seen. I purchased candles made of real birch bark, beautiful for seasonal decorating. It doesn't look as big as it is on the outside. Inside it's two floors of true Vermont art. Don't ship the second floor, you'll be missing alot. Oh they also have all different types of fudge....

My Husband are visiting from Colorado. We found this site on the internet and were very excited about visiting this establishment. While it is quaint and has some nice things a man, presumably, one of the owners, kept following us around, muttering things under his breath which we could not hear, as if we were trying to shop lift! He followed us all over the store! Then when we checked out the woman behind the counter was anything but friendly. I recommend you find another shop in which to spend your money. We will NEVER return to this...
