Three Quality Standards of Gold Equestrian Jewelry
- To be quality jewelry , the horse jewelry should be made of at least 14kt gold.
- The buffing and polishing of the Horse Necklaces will determine the luster of the horse jewelry. The finest of care should be used to bring out the beautiful shine of the gold.
- The Design and carving of the Horse Pendant is of paramount importance. This determines the whole character of the piece of equestrian jewelry.

Horse Jewelry – Gifts for the Horse Lover!
Posted by Dr. Deb on January 25, 2009 under Horse - Main, Horse - Stories, Welsh Pony |
Everyone remembers the first pony to capture their heart. For me, my first “love” was a Welsh pony named Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean lived at Pony Farm in Temple NH, where I was fortunate to begin taking riding lessons when I was 6-years-old.
I loved Jelly Bean. His study, stocky, little Welsh pony body, was the perfect size for me, a timid and quite 6-year-old. I loved to put my arms around his neck and bury my nose into his white coat. Grooming him was very soothing for me and apparently for him as well, as he would often start to nod off in the process.
Riding Jelly Bean was and adventure and challenge and he helped me to build confidence and assertiveness. Like any good Welsh pony he was determined. A wonderful trait, except when his focus was the closest tuft of grass that he could find. My little arms were no match for his strength. Holding firmly onto the reins, I was pulled down onto his neck, head first, when he decided to plant his nose into some juicy grass. Thank goodness for my saddle, or I would have had many tumbles right down Jelly Bean’s neck and onto the ground. The final solution was that on trail rides either the instructor would pony me, or tie baling twine from my saddle to Jelly Bean’s bit, to prevent the frequent nose dives.
My first horse show with Jelly Bean for some could have been seen as a disappointment, but it was a good experience for me. The classes included Sit-A-Buck and a basic equitation class. I didn’t even place, but I did receive a ribbon. It was purple, likely for good participation, but I didn’t care. I was proud of my ribbon and proud of Jelly Bean. He looked so festive with that purple ribbon pinned to his bridle.
Jelly Bean, the Welsh pony who taught me how to ride, will live in my heart forever. I am grateful for the love, patience, and yes, even focused stubbornness that he showed me. I grew in the process by spending time with him and I’ve come a long was from being a timid 6-year-old.

Posted by tomtroughton on January 16, 2009 under Horse - Main, Horse Breeds, Morgan Horse, Tom Troughton |
The “Morgan Horse” is an American Breed of horse. Justin Morgan acquired a colt in 1789 and named him Figure. Figure was the founding sire of all the Morgan Horses. There is a book about “Figure” called Justin Morgan Had a Horse. There is post in the Findings Blog about the book. http://writer2b.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/justin-morgan-had-a-horse/
Some Morgan Horses have ”Bay Characteristics” of the brown body and black mane and tail. Although the colors do vary. One beautiful variation is black with brown mane and tail. They are gentle and easy-going and great with kids.
Morgan Horses are often used in show arenas. With their upright powerful build they are great for trail riding, jumping, and were originally used for plowing fields and by their ealry owners. If one word describes the Morgan Horse it would have to be “versatility”. The horse is a great all around animal.
There is a wonderful association called The American Morgan Horse Association or the AMHA. It features registry information and even a magazine dedicated to the Morgan Horse. The association also has news and dates of upcoming events.

Posted by tomtroughton on January 12, 2009 under American Paint Horse, Horse - Main, Horse Breeds, Tom Troughton |
The American Paint Horse was used by Native Americans and was thought to be introduced by the Spainairds. They migrated into the other heards of horses in the plains area of the United States. As well as the Native Americans, they were also used extensively by cowboys. They are very friendly, but also high spirited. They are fantastic for hearding cattle. The reason for the name “American Paint Horse” are their prominent colors. They can either be a light color with darker markings or the other way around, dark color with lighter markings.
American Paint Horse
Pintos are often included in the American Paint Horse group of breeding, although some breeder associations will divide the two into different subgroups. The word “Pinto” means “Paint” in the Spanish language. The American Paint Horse is definitely a well rounded versatile horse. Great for riding, work, or showing.
