About

Cares & Whoas is dedicated to curating a lifestyle collection that celebrates the spirit of the West, and bringing together fashion and home decor that embodies the rugged beauty and authenticity of western style. With years of experience in western culture, our team is passionate about finding high-quality pieces that honor the artistry and heritage of the western lifestyle, infused with a touch of equestrian influence. From the authenticity of western fashion to the subtle influence of equestrian style, our selections celebrate the legacy of the West. 

We proudly serve our community from two unique locations: one in the heart of Downtown Redmond, Oregon, and the other at the Murieta Equestrian Center in Rancho Murieta, California. Both locations bring our lifestyle collection to communities that share our love for this unique way of life. Each store provides an immersive experience, where customers can discover home accents and fashions that bring a sense of warmth and western heritage that resonates with their values and appreciation for the culture.

Our offerings are more than just products—they’re a lifestyle. By blending western and equestrian influences, we create a collection that resonates with those who appreciate the timeless allure and heritage of the West. At the heart of it all is our appreciation for the horse—a symbol of freedom, resilience, and unity. Horses bring people together, inspiring our work and connecting us to the land and traditions that shape our lives. Their spirit is woven into each piece we curate, reflecting the bond that horses create among people from across cultures and generations.

We embody the full lifestyle in and outside of the business. Our team draws inspiration from the landscapes, events and traditions that inform and inspire our work. It’s this connection to the western way of life that allows us to bring an authentic, meaningful piece of the West into every product we offer.
