I
started CQ Equine Gifts after making a few necklaces for my
own horses and then a few more to donate to a local horse rescue
for a fundraiser. Then I added personalized saddle accent clips
and mane clips for my "horse friends" and their owners.
I started getting inquires from others and then this hobby became
something more.
My
favorite thing to do is make your necklace unique for you and
your horse. We have several ideas in each section already put
together this is by no means your only option! It's just to
illustrate some of the colors and accent beads and how they
look together.
When you order from us, each necklace can have a different color
combination, pendant and accent beads to make yours
one of a kind.
Some
of the most fun I have is going to local barrel shows where
I make the personalized clips on the spot. The young kids running
barrels are great fun to watch and seeing the necklaces, clips,
etc. on their horses while they are competing, is really satisfying
to me.
Since
starting into horses over 7 years ago, my husband and I are
totally "owned" by our horses and we love to trail
ride. We have branched out into traveling more in the last few
years and ride in IN, TN, IL and KY. This year we have a trip
planned to VA. We have made great friends, some of whom we meet
with every year to ride.
