The Story Behind the Business --
The bay c**t pictured is obviously the business' namesake. This c**t represents my future, my opportunity to level up. In 3 or 4 years, this guy and I will be running down the alleys at the biggest barrel futurities. He is my ticket to jump in and try playing with the big dogs.
But it's a long and treacherous road between here and there. I am well aware of all the hard work, hours in the saddle, miles traveled, vet/farrier visits, and countless resources required to get a horse ready to be competitive at that high level. I am prepared to throw everything I have at this venture.
Living at about 9000 feet elevation means winters are very long and we are forced to spend much of our time indoors. I have found bead working to be a very rewarding use of inside time. I am always excited to create new pieces and constantly feel like I have more ideas on my 'to make' list than I have the time to actually create!
Ultimately, I want focus on custom tack pieces like beaded headstalls, over unders, and breast collars, in addition to fun cowgirl pieces like saddle charms and hatbands. I also want to learn how to inlay my beadwork in leather in order to make belts and inlaid tack. I will be so excited to start seeing my work out in the wild at barrel races!
All the profits from my beadwork will go towards helping me and the bay c**t get down that long road to the futurity alleyways. Every purchase helps get me a little closer to accomplishing my big goals!
