About
Zephyr Equine Gifts |

How It
All Began
It all started
when Sharon made a Rhythm Bead Necklace as a birthday present for
a friend. She made a few more as gifts for other friends, and when
she joined a trail riding club not long after, everyone admired Zephyr's
necklace. Folks started asking if they could buy one for their horse.
Of course, she
said "sure!"

And Then...
She decided to
start marketing her product both online and locally, to provide an
extra source of income to support Zephyr in the manner to which he
had become accustomed. She placed Classified Ads on several internet
sites, and also posted a note about it on HorseCity.com's Bulletin
Boards. (She would like to thank all her Board Buddies; their emotional
support, product orders, and referrals helped get her new business
off the ground!)
A couple local
tack shops asked if they could sell pre-made necklaces on consignment,
and also requested dog collars. Friends helped think of other ideas
to expand the product line; it is still expanding!

Meet
Zephyr
The photo at
right is of Sharon's 10-year-old Arabian / Rocky Mountain Horse gelding,
Zephyr's Elegant Gift. Zephyr means "Gentle
Breeze Out of the West" and she truly feels that he is a gift
that was borne to her on the wind - and not by chance.
When she was
thinking of what to name my new business, she realized that her horse's
name was perfect!
Incidentally,
although Zephyr was sold to her as a non-gaited horse, he has developed
a lovely foxtrot under saddle. No gimmicks or gadgets, just lots of
walking to develop those 4-beat muscles.
