Our Story

Do you have a horse shaped hole in your heart?

You’re afraid you’ll NEVER find the perfect way to keep Sonny, the most honest, gorgeous 5 year old palomino Quarter Horse of your dreams, with you every day…because he’s gone…

And whatever you design HAS to make you feel that Sonny’s still with you, supporting you, comforting you…because you still expect to hear his whinny when you walk in the barn at feeding time. You still expect him to stretch his long, pretty head with that silly crooked star over the stall door to nuzzle the pockets of your old worn out barn jacket sniffing for his favorite peppermints. The ones you can only get from Kincaid’s, your favorite burger place.

You miss him so much it hurts.

Every. Single. Day.

Hang in there, you are in the right place.

Hello! I am Angela and I am here to help.

I’m here to help ease the ache in your heart with the perfect piece of horse hair bracelet or jewelry or art for you and your horse (or horses!).
I’m here to help you create an extraordinary one-of-a-kind gift for yourself or someone you love.

I believe in choices.
Because one style does not fit all.
I believe in longevity.
Because something SO important should last a lifetime.

I promise to use only high quality sterling silver, fine silver and lead free pewter available.
I promise to create pieces that convey the essence and uniqueness of your horse (or horses!)
I promise to treat each and every horse with the utmost respect.

I promise you will be 100% in love with your horse hair jewelry and art.

Years ago, I worked for an equine surgical center and THE toughest part of my job as an office manager, was helping horse owners go through the process of letting go, and saying goodbye. It doesn’t matter if you know it’s coming or it was a tragic surprise…it’s excruciating to go through – for you for your friends, for all of us helping.

My clients would ask if I knew of any place that made horse hair jewelry, and at the time there were only a couple. The couple of places locally, that I knew would create something like that would create pieces that were more for keepsake purposes, not every day wear.

Well that wouldn’t do! I know that I would want something that I could have with me every single day. Grief sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Why couldn’t I have something to provide imediate comfort when I needed it?

So I began to research, and learn and practice and study.

I love all things Celtic in nature, especially Celtic knot work. It became the foundation of my horse hair jewelry designs because it symbolizes the infinite love and connection we feel for out horses. So it should come as no surprise that the very first bracelet I ever created was the Bella, a rectangular Celtic knot style. After all these years, it is still one of my best sellers.

The Best Advice I Can Give

Don’t wait until you have to say goodbye to have a special horse hair bracelet or jewelry created. Don’t wait until it’s too late and you are on the floor, sobbing in heart felt pain. Don’t wait until your barn bestie is beside themselves in a grief so deep they don’t even hear you comforting them. Create a wonderful and special moment of giving and love right now – so you can see and feel the joy a custom horse hair bracelet brings!

Because they will ALWAYS be our babies.

Testimonials

When I opened the box I cried tears of joy. The bracelet Angela created from my horse’s tail hair is extraordinary. It’s a beautifully crafted simple design yet profound and meaningful. I researched horse hair jewelry thoroughly. The reason I chose Angela over other websites was because she seemed so personable and caring. She understood the depth of her customers hearts and how much the jewelry meant to them. She showed me that same kindness every step of the way. All her email communications were prompt and clear and respectful. I would highly recommend her to all of my friends!

In a matter of two weeks, my oldest daughter lost her horse she was leasing from her friend and then my youngest lost her first English lesson horse. I wanted to get bracelets made in memory of these special beautiful animals. I looked around online to find the right place, I wanted to make sure it was reputable and that the product was backed. I went with Spirithorse Designs for two reasons. One, because there were many different bracelet options, and two, because of the guarantee. When ordering the bracelets (3 total) there were so many personalization options, which was great. I got two of the same kinds of bracelets that I was concerned that the size and hair might get mixed up, but no, no issues. My daughter wanted to wear her bracelet for her senior picture photography shoot in the fall. Angela put a rush on the bracelets so my daughter would have it in time before the leaves fell off the trees. Every time I reached out to Angela with questions she immediately got back in touch with me. It didn’t even take one day to get a response. Some companies take days or might not even respond. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Spirithorse Designs with Angela!!!! There was never any hesitation ordering from this company. My two daughters and their friend will have a special part of those horses to always remember them by. It was so bittersweet to open the box when I received it in the mail. What an extraordinary thing to have in memory of those special horses. They were absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Angela!!!

These Cinnie Horse Hair Earrings by Spirithorse Designs are SO glamorous! Not your regular old horse hair jewelry. Just look at those Swarovski beads with sterling silver finishing!

This was my very first order from you and I must admit that I am not sure what I was expecting but when I received my package I was blown away. The packaging was first class all the way from the box that my wife’s earrings were in to the USPS reinforced box that everything came in. I was impressed with the wrapping of the box the earrings were in with a bow and card. This was a very nice touch. Instead of finding a invoice crammed down inside a box somewhere there was another special tiny envelope with my invoice and a couple other little goodies. I would find it hard to believe that I am the first to compliment you on your presentation of your product; however, if I am then I salute you in doing little things that make a big difference. Your product exudes with class and attention to detail. This was certainly not just another pair of horse hair earrings that I received.
