Dancing Pony Boutique celebrates 20 years in New Braunfels

A downtown New Braunfels boutique is celebrating a big milestone in October with an anniversary celebration.

Some details: The Dancing Pony Boutique has seen a lot of change since opening at 249 W. San Antonio St. back in 2005. Owners Regina Daggett and Jan Manley said they both worked at the shop for several years prior to taking ownership of the business in 2014.

Since then, there’s been a lot of growth in the area, particularly downtown, Daggett said.

“It’s just grown so much, and there’s been a lot of boutiques opening around us,” she said. “But we have an awesome community and awesome customers.”
What’s special about it? Daggett said the boutique is unique because they offer a “huge” selection of shoes, apparel and jewelry, along with a plethora of home goods. The boutique also has a hidden area in the back of the store called the Pony Pub where football is on every Sunday.

There aren’t many places in San Antonio that offer sit-down Filipino dining and an Asian grocery market all-in-one.


At M.Y. Chockdee Oriental Market & Restaurant, located in Universal City at 119 E. Lindbergh Blvd., Owner and Chef Merle Ramirez said they have both—along with catering options and more.


Ramirez said she wanted to bring her love of cooking to the United States, so she moved from the Philippines to Texas in 1985. During that process, she met her husband, Yong—who trained her to become a professional cook.
