Featured Raffle #1

'Horsehair' Hitched Bridle, c. 1900

Handmade by the talented Cary Nelson, look closely at the intricate braid and knot work. And yes! That is a tiny horse-head painted detail on the bridle! A wonderful donation to the show from a fabulous friend and artist. Add this gorgeous unique bridle to your tack box!

'Horsehair hitching was a craft passed from Native Americans to Mexicans, and also local prison inmates. A complete bridle often took an inmate an entire year to complete, and was generally raffled off to help provide for that prisoner's family.' (Please forgive ill placement on the horse by me, the amateur performance person).

Feature Raffle #2

Late For The Ball - OOAK Earthenware Jumping Jack

An Exquisite OOAK Earthenware piece from Donna Chaney and Animal Artistry - Introducing 'Late For The Ball', the handsome 'Jumping Jack' Sport horse decorated in a dashing dark dapple grey. And as noted from Donna, the only Earthenware Jumping Jack in this color.
