"GIVE A HORSE WHAT HE NEEDS AND HE'LL GIVE YOU HIS HEART."
While I was off dealing with life's little challenges, PAINTED HORSE CREATIONS! has been busy designing some of the most beautiful Mane Clips I have seen! These new Mane Clips are made with some of the most beautiful gems, stones and beads available. The gems, stones and beads have been chosen to add Color Therapy benefits as well as capturing and radiating the sunlight through your horse's flowing mane.

"You have enemies? Good! It means you've stood up for something in your life. Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. Better to die on your feet than live on your knees." ~ Author Unknown

PAINTED HORSE CREATIONS! has been very busy this spring! I want to give you a little glimpse at some of the amazing new items they have designed exclusively for the Rhythm Beads store.....

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~ author unknown
Over the weekend, I had an opportunity, along with my daughter Jenn and my granddaughter Sam, to play an active role in making a difference in the lives of 6 very lucky animals. Three generations working together as a team to make this world a better place. The opportunity I am talking about was our participation in a "Pet Transport".

Happy Holidays!!! This November finds me announcing the birth of a brand new website for RhythmBeads.com! I hope you will take a few minutes to check out the new site and I really hope that you like what you see! This is one of those projects that started out as the result of some "technical difficulties" and has ended up being a blessing in disguise of sorts. It has been such a wonderful trip down memory lane to begin sorting through all of the terrific pictures that have been sent in by customers and friends. Several of the pictures have been placed throughout the pages of the Rhythm Beads site, and several have been placed in the Photo Albums for all to enjoy!

FALL IS IN THE AIR ~ And the Holidays are coming!
The stores are full of Halloween costumes for both children and adults getting ready for the many celebrations and activities coming up. Why not consider getting something for your horse while you're in the spirit of costume shopping? Just think how much fun it would be to put together a "costume" for your horse that might include matching tack, a very special set of Rhythm Beads, possibly a Feathered or Beaded Mane Clip ... or two ... or three, and a coordinated Feathered or Beaded Tail Clip to give your accessories an oh so perfect look!

AUTUMN INSPIRATIONS and RESCUE BEADS!!!
I can hardly believe that it is September and Back To School time again already! I always miss having the kids around when the school sessions start up. This time of year brings a season of new beginnings. For many ~ both children and adults ~ it is a new year of learning as their education is continuing. For others, it is the beginning of a new endeavor that they have been putting off until the end of "summer vacation". No matter what circumstances you are experiencing with the beginning of our beautiful Autumn season, I would like to share with you two very inspirational writings that I have recently come across. I have found both of these to be extremely helpful in so many areas of life ~ And I hope you will find similar benefits in these "Autumn Inspirations".

AUGUST IS T-SHIRT WEATHER!!!
August is T-Shirt weather!!! And, guess what we have just added to the Rhythm Beads site ... TEES!!! This has been such a fun project to work with. I could have come up with a hundred designs for these TEES ~ But tried to limit it to my favorites to get started. These T-Shirts are bound to be a hit no matter where you go!

LIFE Is More Amazing Than Fiction!
"When I can't ride anymore, I shall still keep horses as long as I can hobble along with a bucket and a wheelbarrow. When I can't hobble, I shall roll my wheelchair out to the fence of the field where my horses graze, and watch them. -Monica Dickens" I have been receiving so many amazing stories from customers and friends that I thought this might be a perfect opportunity to share a few of them with you so that you might enjoy them too!

A STAR IS BORN!!!
No, I'm not announcing the birth of a new foal ... not even announcing the birth of a new grand child! With the introduction through last month's Newsletter of the Healing Crystals & Gems additions that will be coming to the Healing Rhythms branch of the family, we have decided that this new branch of the family needs a name ~ and so "PAINTED HORSE CREATIONS" is born!!!

APRIL 2 ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISCHIEF!!!
~~"There is something about the outside of a horse that is very good for the inside of a man."~~ On April 2, 2001 Mischief decided to make his grand entrance into the world - 3 weeks before he was supposed to! The very next day he and his mom joined our famiy. It didn't take very long for this wobbly little black & white paint colt to gain complete control of my husband's heart.

Will You Be My Valentine? Will You Be My Friend?
As a lover of all animals, I am drawn to those organizations whose purpose is to help the animals that find themselves without a family to call their own. Recently there was an idea shared that I thought was so exciting I asked for permission to share the idea through this Newsletter, and maybe even build on it a little. This idea originated through one of the groups whose focus is to help provide "Another Chance 4 Horses" (anotherchance4horses.com), and the idea is for a program they are calling Horse Helpers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! A New Beginning!
Here we are at the beginning of a brand New Year! The beauty of this life is that no matter what we feel like we didn't accomplish, no matter what we wish we would have done a little better, or no matter what we wish we wouldn't have done ... We can make a resolution to start out the New Year with a brand new slate!

ANIMAL COMMUNICATIONS! Is it Real? You Decide!
The ability to communicate with animals is something that I see as a true gift. There are a great many people who feel that this is one of those areas where there's a good story to be told, but there probably is no truth to what's being said. I would like to share my three experiences with an animal communicator, and let you decide for yourself whether you think animal communication is real or not.

WEANING TIME! Helping Baby Grow Up!
There are many different views on the best approach to use when weaning a foal. I have decided that I will not simply give you a run-through of all options and follow them with why I do or don't like each. Instead I will simply share our experience with you of helping Mischief through the weaning process.
