I recently lost my precious horse of 20 years. I was devastated when I lost Hammer and
Ivy gave me an opportunity to honor my horse's memory by building beautiful pieces of
jewelry to remember him. I purchase a necklace as well as a bracelet. It is the most
comfortable pieces of jewelry I have ever owned. In addition to comfort, it is a stunning
tribute to my handsome boy and I feel as if I always have him with me. Each piece of
jewelry is well constructed and fits even better with continual wear. Ivy was so patient
while working with me through the tough time of Hammer's passing. Not only is she a
skilled artist, she is a kind and caring person as well.
Thank you Ivy for all you have done for me!

On June 2, 2008 I had to put my best friend, King, to sleep due to twisting from colic. King was 23 yrs
old and I was there when he was born and I was there when he passed. It truly was the hardest thing I’
ve ever had to do and I am still in a very numb state. Ivy helped me to honor my big boy by making
some wonderful pieces of jewelry and other items from King’s mane and tail. It was very difficult for
me to meet with Ivy, but she really took her time with me and was so patient. She truly respects you
and your horse. I had some ideas in mind for a couple things that she had never attempted before.
She was excited to try out my ideas and much to my delight, they all turned out absolutely incredible. I’
ve showed all my friends what Ivy has created for me and like me, we cannot believe the exceptional
and professional work she’s done on these intricate works of art. I feel fortunate that I at least have a
part of King with me and close. I will forever be indebted to Ivy for all she has done to help me
through this horrible grieving process and I plan to also have a Christmas gift made for one of my
girlfriends of her horse’s tail and have some more jewelry made with my other horse’s tail. Once you
see Ivy’s work, you just want to work with her to create more and more. Thank You Ivy for all that you
do for us horse owners to help us pay tribute to our beloved horses.

While meandering a street fair in Crested Butte, CO this past August, I had the fortunate experience of
meeting Ivy. I was immediately taken with Ivy & her talents of creating such beautiful & unique horse hair
jewelry. Having never seen anything like this before, I could not wait to get home to GA in order to trim
some of my Bossy girl's tail to send her straight away. If only I had known then how special Ivy would
soon become. This past October my girl became very sick & spent 4 incredible weeks fighting with all
her might to survive, we believed we were on the mend. Much to my great sadness it turned out to be
too much for Bossy & we had to put her to sleep November 12, 08. With her went a very important piece
of my heart. As one of life's coincidences would have it, my necklace was ready and Ivy called the very
day I had to put Bossy to sleep. Ivy was warm, compassionate & shared some good thoughts with me &
it lifted my spirits to know my finished piece was on its' way. My necklace arrived 2 days later & I love it!
It keeps a piece of Bossy close to me, in honor of her. The workmanship is absolutely beautiful, &
people notice, I have been asked about it so many times in just a week. I happily share Ivy's information
with my horse loving comrades.

When our grand old horse, Ivan, died I wanted to have something
special to remember him by. A friend suggested that I have some
jewelry made from his tail. I did some research on line and really
liked what I saw on Ivy's web site. When I contacted Ivy I found her to
be friendly and helpful. Within a couple weeks of sending Ivan's hair
to Ivy we had our lovely pieces. The jewelry is well crafted and truly
beautiful. The best part is, as Ivy explained, the pieces are sturdy
and durable and meant to be used and worn. Ivy was a delight to
work with.

Hi Ivy,
I just wanted to say “Thank You so much” for the lovely picture pendant you crafted for
me of my Dear boy King. We’re coming up on the one year anniversary of King’s
passing… very hard again… but having this beautiful picture of him draped around my
neck on his horsetail necklace brings me much comfort. I still miss him terribly, you know
that, and your consideration was once again deeply appreciated. And I still wear his
horsetail bracelet you made for me a year ago… never take it off… he’s always with me.
Thank you again for everything.
Warmly,
Sue Oberly
