My Rescue Horse: Freedom
Most of my friends and family would say I was trying to do the right thing but made a wrong decision when my heart decided “we” should save an abused and neglected horse seized by Houston Humane Society in mid 2016. I named him Freedom because that’s what he deserves after years of neglect. Time will tell if my friends and family are right.

I wanted anything turquoise, beaded or with feathers. This hasn’t changed..I still love all of those things!

Its shining sky blue is one of the most popular trend colours in the world of jewelry and...
