It all started in the 1950’s when Bud and Mary Faulkner began teaching square and round dancing lessons. One day, Bud came home from his full time job, only to find a group of women at the house shopping away! It was the next day that Bud found the location at 7914 Wornall Road to open Kansas City’s first square dance apparel store.
Thus, Faulkner’s Western Store was launched and for the next thirty-five years they sold quality clothing, saddlery and tack, and other horse related supplies. The store was more than just a business however, it was a place where their children and grandchildren would learn about the joy of providing quality service to those in their community. It was through these experiences that they developed an appreciation for quality customer service and found true joy in being a part of the family store.
However, in 1986, despite a deep love for the store, the decision was made to go in a new direction. At this point in time, Judy retired, while Bob and Dick evolved Faulkner’s Saddlery to incorporate the manufacturing of quality show and training equipment which they shipped all of the world. Today Dick’s daughter Lisa Gosselin continues to operate this business and her father’s legacy in the Arabian Show Horse world.
In 1988, Howard Benjamin happened by the Saddlery. Howard was an old friend of the Faulkner family and asked Bob if he would be interested in running the Benjamin Ranch. When Bob took a tour of the ranch he saw that Howard had gutted one half of the horse barn and was renting it to different organizations and people to “do their own thing.” Bob saw the opportunity to use this amazing historical landmark as a unique place to host parties and provide entertainment. With the additional help of Marilyn, Bob’s wife, and Christine and Matt, his children, the ranch continued to grow and produce quality events with a western themed experience. In the last twenty-five years that the Faulkner’s have operated the Benjamin Ranch they have produced over 8,000 events!
