My sister and I had the pleasure of learning to ride on Mozel Tov. Mozel was kind
and safe, but knew how to challenge us when needed; he taught us and many riders
before, to be real riders. You could find Mozel being ridden, in our back lawn, out on
the trail, or winning in the show ring. Mozel was so trustworthy, that when my sister
was just two, she could brush him, sit on him bare-back, and hold him by herself.
Being able to create jewelry out of his beautiful hair seems like the perfect way to
honor Mozel and keep him with us; he lived a long and happy life. Ivy has been very
easy to work with, and has had several good ideas as to what we might like. I am
very pleased with how the bracelet turned out and cannot wait to give it to our Mother
for Christmas; this will truly be a special and memorable gift.

My horse, Mango, was my best friend. He was little guy, but his heart and personality more than
tripled his body size. There was nothing in the world that my horse wouldn't do for me, and when we
sadly had to put him down, I wanted to be able
to honor him. I decided I wanted to do this by having a necklace
made from his tail.
I found several websites offering these types of services, but
when I saw Ivy's website and read her personal write-up, I knew I
wanted her to make my necklace. Just like her website suggests,
you can tell that Ivy is a wonderful person and loves horses. She
does this because this is her passion, not just some business. Her
love for horses really comes out in her work. The necklace she
made me was absolutely gorgeous, and I can't help but smile every
time I put it on. I love it.
Ivy was great to work with--sweet, willing, and very timely. I felt like I sent my order to her, and in a
very short amount of time, I had my necklace. If you have a passion for horses, want to honor an
amazing horse, like I did, or just want a creative, quality piece of handmade jewelry accompanied by
great service, I would certainly recommend Ivy to
anyone.

Our Arabian mare, Aziza Star, was more than just
a part of our family - she was our world. In
addition to being a Champion Western Pleasure,
Sidesaddle and Native Costume show horse, she
was designated the 2007 official Arabian Horse
Association Ambassador, for her lifetime of work
in the show ring, representing the Arabian breed,
and working with handicapped, abused and
disabled people. Her trademark white socks led
us to parks, churches, camps and even the
premier of Disney's "The Young Black Stallion."
To lose her was to lose a world that she escorted
us though, a world that would not have existed
without her.

Hi Ivy-
The necklace is exquisite!!! It is so refined and elegant. I LOVE IT!!
I have wanted a horse all my life. My Dad passed away in 2002 and I couldn't seem to
let go. A friend was starting a "ladies group" to ride/take lessons every Friday. She
asked me if I was interested, I was trying to think of a fib to say no and my husband said,
(she'll be there). I was afraid, had not done much riding in my life and had a scare a
couple of years earlier. I ended up going and this is where I met Blackfoot. I loved him
after my first ride. During two wonderful Summers, we rode every Friday.

In the Spring of 2004, the friend decided she
was selling Blackfoot. I knew there was no
way I could buy him. Never say Never!! The
rest is history-51 years old and finally got my
horse!! I truly believe my Dad sent him.
For years I have been looking different places
to have a necklace made out of his tail.
Nothing looked right. Until I saw your work.

I wasn't planning on ordering the concho horsehair
pendant, but I thought what the heck, might as well
get the whole package. So glad I did. It is a very unique necklace. Can't believe you hand
engrave your conchos, that makes it even more unique and personal.
I can enjoy my necklace and my horse at the same time.
Thanks for your beautiful work-Nancy

We are so pleased with your jewelry; it really bridges the gap. Now we have something
from Z that we can wear and enjoy everday. It is so much better than just having a
piece of her hair tucked in a drawer somewhere. We simply cannot thank you enough.
The three piece necklace is not only beautiful, but is also comfortable to wear, always
lays in the right spot and never rotates. The wide weave necklace is stunning; it's
flawless and more beautiful than I imagined.
Your jewelry is an incredible tribute and a lasting, tangible legacy for our most beloved
horse. We will cherish the jewelry forever.

I had a beautiful necklace made a year ago by Ivy for a very special horse
I lost, and I loved it so much that I wanted to have one made for a close
friend so that she, too, could have something so meaningful to remember
her horse by. The second necklace lived up to every expectation I had
from the first--it was gorgeous, and Ivy was so great to work with. My
friend cried when I gave it to her, and she has been raving about it and
wearing it ever since. Thank you, Ivy, for making us such beautiful
keepsakes!
Thanks again for everything!,
Emily

This past spring I lost my "once in a life time" barrel mare, Boundary, to colic. My husband knew
how much she meant to me so before he berried her, he cut some tail hair for me. I had no idea
what to do with the hair when a friend told me about Ivy. My mare put her whole heart into her
job so I knew after speaking with Ivy she was the right person to work with the only think I had left
of my great mare. Ivy made me two beautiful bracelets. One for myself and one for a young girl
that loved my mare almost as much as I did. Her workmanship was superb and she is obviously
a perfectionist, but more important to me was her compassion and ability to understand and
honor Boundary's memory. Ivy took her time to discuss all my options to insure my bracelets
would be exactly what I wanted. There was nothing my mare loved more than to load into the
trailer and go make a run and when she didn't get to she would grind her teeth in frustration.
Now, thanks to Ivy, my friend and I should be able to hit enough barrel races with our bracelets
to keep even Boundary happy.
Thank you Ivy,
Donna
