What is EquiBling™?

The name EquiBling™ was created by me and represents my handmade equine necklaces. My Equibling™ pieces themselves (the equine necklaces, mane beads and my hand-beaded one of a kind horseshoes).

Your Horse; A Work of Art
I create handmade pencil portraits of your horse(s) from your favorite photographs. The photographs must be clear (meaning in focus) and at least 4 x 6" or larger. I also will accept .jpg images through email. Each piece is hand-drawn with great attention to detail & realism. I can make them abstract, as well. I specialize in drawings of the head/eye--capturing the "true window to the soul" (of your horse). This service is available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis & the prices vary, depending on the media used & the complexity of the drawing.
I also have a wide range of original equine artwork (non-custom) available for purchase. Please email me for a current list as it changes too quickly to keep this website updated.
Prices start at $100 (USD) for an unframed, 8 x 10" in pencil.

EquiBling ™
Hand-Beaded Horse Shoes
New (or your used) Hand-beaded Horse Shoes. Each one is beaded by hand, using copper wire and only the finest beads. Prices start at just $35 for premade designs and go up to $75 for more detailed or custom colored works. Multiple purchase discounts available.


EquiBling™ Necklaces & Mane Beads
Besides looking beautiful on your horse; EquiBling™ beads (also known as cadence, speed, harmony or rhythm beads); have many useful functions:

Help your horse relax & be less spooky on the trail--the beads create a "white noise" and help your horse focus more on the task at hand, than being spooky
•Encourage your horse to run faster on speed events, such as barrel racing
•Help lesson riders to "hear" the rhythm (footfall) of their horse
•Warn wild animals (& hunters) that you’re coming so they may get out of your way (& not shoot you)
•Help you & your horse attain & maintain a steady speed at whatever gait you choose
•Help riders learn the rhythm of their horse, great for Tempe-changes or strides between jumps
•Help gaited horses & their riders to "hear" the gaits
•Help young horses & riders develop confidence, together

•Many people also use these beads as spiritual pieces, (like the Native Americans have done for centuries). Certain colors mean different things. Some offer protection, strength, power, confidence, health & more.


Who Uses EquiBling™?
The use of these beaded necklaces for horses, in combination with bells is quickly gaining recognition & wholehearted support from jumpers, gaited horse riders, endurance riders, Dressage riders, trail, barrel racers & horse trainers of all breeds & disciplines.

No Cheap, Plastic Beads Here!
I use only genuine Swarovski Crystal Beads in all of my Custom EquiBling™ pieces. These are all handmade, one at a time with great attention to detail and design. All of the pendants are also made of Swarovski Crystals. This ensures proper color-matching and contrast, as well as consistency within the piece.
