Horse Jewelry: Looking Good After a Bad Day

September 10, 2012 by Alison Greene

I don’t know about you, but my heart just broke for Tiffany Foster this weekend.  The Canadian rider had her Olympic dreams dashed earlier this year when some controversially stringent health exams disqualified her horse Victor from further competition. Then this weekend, at the BMO Nation’s Cup at Spruce Meadows, she and Victor went down hard, crashing through the second gate of a complicated double jump. Neither Tiffany nor Victor were hurt, but when it came time to make a second go of the course, Victor was having nothing to do with that jump. He refused twice, and it was all done for Tiffany. She left the ring on foot, leading Victor, and you could just see the effort it took to maintain her composure until she was out of the public spotlight.

Sometimes, showing horses is wonderful and eventing is a dream come true.  Some days aren’t so great. That’s why there’s retail therapy.  I don’t know what Tiffany is doing to feel better, but if it was me? I’d be doing some serious shopping.

A really rotten day deserves a serious pick me up. Check out these 14K Gold Horsehead Rings. They come in white or yellow gold, with sapphire eyes and .16ctw of diamonds arranged around a center ring.  The styling is fabulous: finely detailed with a dynamic energy that attracts the eye and gets lots of compliments.

Slightly more affordable, but still great to lift the mood after a tough day in the show ring, office, or just in general, this sterling silver horseshoes and horsehead pin is a charmer. It’s a substantial pin, 1 1/2″ long by 1″ wide, and finely detailed. It’s a great piece of antique horse jewelry.

If the world’s treating you badly, treat yourself well! Tomorrow’s another day – and you might as well look fabulous today!

About Alison Greene

Show Stable Artisans, The Equestrian Jeweler, was started in 1994 by 2 friends who had a passion for horses and jewelry- and who wanted to share the passion with others. They sought out the best artisans who created the finest pieces of equestrian jewelry -beautiful and keepsake pieces that reflected the equestrian lifestyle.

We chose the name for our blog for 2 reasons. The first reason is because we hope to “spotlight” the relevant trends, horse jewelry and information that will be of interest to you. The second reason we chose the name is to honor the most wonderful horse I have ever had- In the Spotlight, the chestnut horse pictured throughout this blog. She was an unbelievable show horse, a loving companion and my horse of a lifetime!
