Another weekly gift post and these may be my all time favorites. They are the cutest little Zodiac Ponies you’ve ever seen, each one with it’s own charm.
The ponies are made of sterling silver and each one is designed to convey the unique personality of all 12 signs of the zodiac.
Here the complete yearly cycle. I’ve provided the dates associated with each sign, a link to where each sign can be purchased on Amazon and a closer view where available.

Recently I ran across a whole new area of the equestrian industry that I hadn’t previously been introduced to. Suitability makes and sells equestrian patterns for adults, children and horses.
They offer a variety of patterns for both English & Western show clothing and include everything from show jackets to chaps to breeches. And that’s just the patterns for people, they have a number of patterns for horse clothing too.
Make your own fly masks, horse blankets…even halloween costumes.

Whether you want to find your inner unicorn, learn about their lore or read about unicorn adventures, I’ve got you covered.

Although I’ve managed to track down a number of great green horse products and feed, I wanted to provide resources for products we use and consume when we aren’t on our horses too.
As animal lovers and owners we have a responsibility to animals everywhere to use products that have the least amount of impact on the environment and the critters that depend on it.
I’m not saying it’s an easy commitment but it is one that everyone needs to make before it’s too late. I’m here to help and I’ve tracked down a number of great companies who make everything from cleaning products, to socks to makeup.
