Horses are a big deal down here in Florida. Both the upper cross south and north of us even pay polo don't ya know, ta ta. Some jewelry designers are picking up on the combination of horse appreciation and jewelry appreciation, for example, Adria de Haume's latest jewelry line:

Adria de Haume (http://www.haume.com) has created an exquisite line of equestrian inspired designs. Proceeds from sales will benefit Equine Angels Rescue Sanctuary (E.A.R.S.), the non-profit organization that helps keep exploited horses from slaughter and place them in foster care and eventually permanent adoption (http://www.foalrescue.com).

The new jewelry collection includes such detailed items as a galloping stallion pendant, silver or gold bracelets highlighting de Haume's signature eternal knot between standing horses, sculpted equine pins and earrings all inspired by horses and equestrians. De Haume has created this line to help raise funds to help rescue horses, primarily weanling and yearling foals, from the PMU or Premarin (a hormone replacement drug made from Pregnant Mare Urine) industry, of which the foals are a bi-product.

I am a big animal lover, even though I can't afford my own horse, so this is great that de Haume is other there designing for a cause. I wish, though, I could have seen some of this jewelry on the best site for this company. I saw some great jewelry pieces, lots of gold and gemstones, but no horses that I could find.
