Horse Jewelry

Gift IdeasSometimes horse jewelry can be a bit over-the-top, however there are always exceptions to the rule. I did some searching to come up with some of the coolest horse jewelry I could find.

Of course there is always the zodiac ponies if you are looking for something whimsical & fun.

Perhaps I went overboard, cute stuff just kept jumping out at me, so I kept adding it to the list (can you tell what a necklace junkie I am?)

As always every piece has a link to where it can be purchased on Amazon and a closer look at the product where available.

ZJ The Zorse

Click to see VideoZorses are such strange creatures – half horse, half zebra, which one do they identify with? They are an animal we don’t often expect to see in domesticated situations.

ZJ is too cute not to share, this is one zorse that seems to identify more with its horse roots.

There is something very tranquil about a pasture, regardless of the animal enjoying it. Most farm and ranch people will agree that few places can be more calming than a pretty pasture at sunrise or sunset.

Here is a selection of pastures beautifully captured by different photographers. Some of them feeding a hungry animal, some of them waiting for one.

Meet The Equidae Family – Zebras

Most people recognize a zebra when they see one. Black & white stripes pretty much covers it right? There is a lot more variety than you might think.

Last week we met the more colorful Equus & Asinus members of the family, but today it’s all about the black & white. Because of their unique striping patterns the taxonomy of zebra species has been difficult at best & there is a lot of conflicting information out there.

Not only are their stripe patterns regional, but like fingerprints, no two zebras have the same stripes.

Sadly many of the zebra species are facing troubled times in their native territories. Due to hunting (for those beautiful coats) and habitat destruction.

The Horses of Frederic Remington

Fredric Remington’s art defined the iconic wild west and his vision is still ingrained in how we view that period in history today.

His painting and sculpture portrays the drama and conflict of settling the west & his characters are the definitive members of the western battles, Native Americans, cowboys and soldiers.

Interestingly enough, Frederic was born in New York and spend much of his life on the East Coast. Although he enjoyed the West and visited there to find inspiration for his work, he remained an East Coast man at heart.
