January 2018 38 Featuring Karlys Irion of Dynamite Horseman Supply advertiser highlight Karlys and her husband Corky are the owners of Dynamite Horseman Supply located at 28232 N. 42nd Street. They also have two mobile stores that they take to the big ropings, junior rodeos and high school rodeos so they work almost every day. We caught up with them and were able to tie Karlys down to answer a couple of questions for us. Tell us about your family, please. Corky and I have a beautiful daughter, Carly Todd, who is married and has given us a fantastic son-in-law, and 3 precious grandchildren. We have a son, Scott Irion, who is a horseshoer. We had a son, Marty, who passed away in 2002. How many and what kind of pets/animals do you have? We have 3 rope horses that are Corky’s - mine became the barn ornament so I sold him several years back. Two of these rope horses our grandkids are using. What is your New Year’s resolution for 2018? I don’t make resolutions any more because I just break them! You and Corky have been happily married for over 35 years. What’s the secret to your successful relationship? Never forget what made you fall in love, respect for each other and patience… lots of patience! Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses? I don’t know anything about fighting ducks so I’ll take the horses!!! What’s the most unusual thing in your purse? Money. What toy best describes your personality? A rubber ducky - I just go along with the flow. Where would you live if you couldn’t live here in Arizona? Wyoming or Montana is where I would live, but only in the summer! Then I’d HAVE to find a way to be in Arizona in the winter!
