Hello World - long time, no Blog

I think that was a month and a half of our lives that decided to just RUSH by!

We started to put together the Etsy Shop, and then suddenly we were in the midst of the World Equestrian Games, right here in Lexington KY!  This event is kindof like the Olympics of horses - it only happens every few years and has NEVER been held in the United States.  And we got to costume parts of the opening ceremonies to be shown around the world- sounds awesome right?

Until you realized that it meant we'd be making these -
Granted a simplified version of these (made for a fabulous production of Equus in May), but the shop produced almost 200 of these to adorn the backs of these -

Yes - Small children.  Small children who would be wearing white.  At an outdoor ceremony.  In the dirt.
You can see how much fun this was for us.


More to come when I get pictures of the opening ceremonies so you can see these horses in action!
