Lucky Breeze Horseshoes are hand decorated with pride and care. They were inspired and named after my beloved Arabian horse, Breeze. Each Lucky Breeze Horseshoe is one of a kind; with no two exactly the same. Some may have similar themes but are never exactly the same.
The superstition about the horseshoes is one of good luck and good fortune. It is believed that the good luck powers of the horseshoe date back to the story of a blacksmith named Dunstan and a man he believed was the devil. It is said, that a man came to Dunstan and requested that he put horseshoes on his feet (hooves). Dunstan recognized this man as the devil and nailed a horseshoe to the devils hoof. Seeing that the devil was in great pain, it is said that he chained him while he was in agony and only released him after the devil promised never to enter a place that had a horseshoe hung over the door. Dunstan eventually became the Archbishop of Caterbury in 959 AD and is known as Saint Dunstan.
Make a wish for good luck when you hang a horseshoe on a wall. Just having a horseshoe hung is supposed to bring good luck. You have two choices of how to hang it: Hang it with the ends pointing up, so it captures and holds good luck for you; Hang it with the ends pointing down, so the magic in the horseshoe pours out good luck for you.
Spectacular Sunshine Stirrups
Over time I started brainstorming on what else I could create that still had a tie to horses. That's when I came up with Spectacular Sunshine Stirrups (Spectacular Sunshine being the name of my AQHA mare.)
Each stirrup is hand decorated into a little scene. They make beautiful centerpieces for a luncheon or dinner party. Or as an added piece to your home decor. As with the Lucky Breeze Horseshoes, every piece is a one of a kind and no two stirrups are the same. I take pride in creating something unique for you!
I've also created some of the stirrups to hang on your wall instead of sitting on a table. These ones are usually more seasonal or holiday themed.
