Well, not much to write about for the fall. Just a few reminders…maybe even a checklist to make sure you have everything in order going into winter ‘09-’10.
The spring and fall are the worst times of year for sick horses. Weather changes, nutritional changes, and quite often activity level changes can all contribute.
Keeping your horses immunity up with a vitamin B supplement is never a bad idea. Especially since they will likely be spending a lot more time in the barn in closer quarters with the rest of the horses making it easier for sickness to spread. Vitamin B supplements are typically expensive, and since you aren’t feeding much, last a fairly long time.
Make sure your horse has a nice cover on it…and by cover I mean a bit of a fat layer. We don’t typically recommend horses be overweight, but a little extra fat will help provide them with a little extra layer to keep them warm, and provide them with extra calories for maintenance needed when it gets cold out.
Exercise Exercise Exercise. If your horse is used to being ridden 4 times a week or is typically out on pasture all day and is now cooped up in the barn, standing in a stall for 20 hours a day isn’t much fun. Try to incorporate as much exercise into their schedule as possible…whether it’s lounging in the arena, going for a trail ride on the sunny days, or just letting them out for an extra long romp in the field.
Nutritionally, it’s always a good idea to get your hay tested to ensure it’s nutritional quality, and allowing youself to balance for and deficiencies.
Keeping your horse in top health not only decreases vet bills, but gives you a good jump start to your training or show season in the spring. Just a few easy steps can make all the difference.
Wishing you and yours a happy healthy fall!

OK, so I”m at my real job today. Bit of a slow morning so I”m taking a quick break to post my newest peice. I just finished it lastnight, and it’s gorgeous.
Again, Turquoise being my stone of choice, it has three different styles. Green, white and Blue turquoise give this peice lots of body. It has freshwater pearls, and my new favourite….rhinestone rondelles. They have green stones in them, so they flash, and they match, giving it a subtle bling score.

Again, since I make these myself, and have no intention in mass producing them, this is a one of a kind peice that you will never see on anyone else.
If originality is what you are looking for, check out this collection!

So, after selling my first peice, the “one of a kind cowgirl alisa” in less than a week, I thought it might be nice to showcase one a day (or at least a couple a week) so everyone has a chance to find and fall in love with their “one of a kind cowgirl” original peice.
Again, since these are all made by me, and I never intend to replicate a piece, you can accessorize knowing that NOBODY will show up with the same one.

My necklace line is turquoise based - every necklace has turquoise stones, varying in colour - as it has grown to be my favourite stone. The multi strand designs give them some body (not the limpness of a single strand peice), and the various gemstones make them a true pleasure to look at!
Don’t need the over the top Cowgirl Necklace, but still want to stand out?
This is your peice
Made with two different styles of Turquoise, fresh water pearls, amazonite, black agate, and rhondite, this is a beautiful peice

So, I’ve been dabbling in the jewelry making for quite some time now. Mostly just as a hobby, something quiet that I can do in my spare time. I often make pieces for events that I’m attending and need to match accessories, or for close friends that enjoy it too.
As my collection is growing - apparently I have too much spare time LOL - I wish! I have decided to make my own line of “One-Of-A-Kind” pieces. Since these are all made by me, and I never intend to replicate a piece, you can accessorize knowing that NOBODY will show up with the same one.
My necklace line is turquoise based - every necklace has turquoise stones, varying in colour - as it has grown to be my favourite stone. The multi strand designs give them some body (not the limpness of a single strand peice), and the various gemstones make them a true pleasure to look at!
I have never worn one of my own peices and not had comments on it from at least 3 people at the event. They really are quite gorgeous - I know, I”m biased. Many come with removable concho pendants, so you can casualize them for your Cowgirl out on the town outfit.
These pieces are available at www.thecowpokestore.com or in my ebay store “Cowpokestore”
Anyway, hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to email me with your colour preferance or mix and match however you like.
Till next time!
