Alright sweet tarts... I'm running another sale. This one in the Etsy shop. Use coupon code FAN20 at checkout for 20% off of EVERYTHING currently listed in the shop.
I am trying to drum up some extra cash for a very special reason... well, a very special reason to me.
A year ago in February I lost my beloved Hoot - my barrel racing horse. I owned his dam, was there the morning he was born, raised him, trained him, ran barrels on him for years. He was a part of my everyday life for 15 years and when I lost him I was absolutely devastated. To the point that I've pretty much had no interest in riding or really having anything to do with our horses for the last year, which is really saying something for me. Oh, everyone is well taken care of - I just have had no interest in riding or doing anything that way, it just made me sad. I go up every morning to do chores and I still somehow expect Hoot to be there like he always was to greet me with a nicker at his gate... and every morning, when I look over at his corral, I have a little stab of heart break all over again.
Approximately three years ago, I sold a mare that I was very attached to to my best friend because I knew she'd have a wonderful home and she was the perfect match for the family. This is the only other horse I've ever been as attached to as I was Hoot. Well, a few weeks ago, my friend offered her for sale back to me because she'd purchased another horse and couldn't keep everyone.... so I KNEW I had to find a way to make it happen.
So, here I am... trying my darndest to drum up some extra sales all in the name of bringing Blu back home.
And here is Blu. :-)
