Hunter/Jumper Horse Jewelry

February 3, 2011 by Alison Greene

Some horses are just born to jump. Others take a while to warm up to the idea, but once they discover the joy of jumping, there's no stopping them: every fence, hedge, or nearby obstacle inspires them to leave Earth for a moment and fly. That being said, we don't necessarily recommend offering yourself up as the obstacle! You have to wonder who the guy in the center ticked off to draw that … [Read more...]

The Next Obesity Crisis: In the Barn?

January 20, 2011 by Alison Greene

I blame Sugar, the very first pony I ever knew, for my response to this article about obesity among Britain's horses.

Horse Jewelry Reflects Your Passion and Spirit!

August 11, 2010 by Alison Greene

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears. I was reminded of this proverb, first delivered to us from the sands of Arabia so very long ago, on a ride this weekend. There is no sensation quite equal to the thrill of riding: that effortless partnership covering miles, civilization left far behind at the trail head, the timeless rhythm of hooves, new wonders discovered with … [Read more...]

Sensational Silver Horse Jewelry

March 11, 2010 by Alison Greene

There's no doubt about it: silver horse jewelry is one of the hottest picks for the spring. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is just the latest 'new thing' -- silver has long been a favorite metal: it is mentioned in the earliest books of the Bible and turns up in archeological digs from civilizations long buried.  We've been using silver for forever and a day to craft beautiful, … [Read more...]
