Embroidery =)
Couple of months of practice with the embroidery machine and I am ready to offer it as a regular service. Most items can be embroidered fairly easily as long as they are not thicker than 1/8". Patches also available to sew or iron on your own items.

A quick giggle for your Monday =)
Things I've Learnt About Horses as a non horse boyfriend.
Livery yards are not full of ultra fit young ladies in white jodphurs & show jackets despite what adverts/film/TV would have you beleive.
I can now tell the difference between a cheap pitchfork & a decent one.
2 tonnes is the daily amount a horse s**ts.
A bucket that costs 99p at B&Q will cost £9.99 at a horsey shop.
6 months ago if a horse bared it's teeth, flattened its ears & went for me. I filled my pants with s**t. Now it just gets a slap & shouted at.
If a horse stands on your foot no amount of pushing will shift it.
The horse is perfectly designed by nature to covert £ sterling into s**t. Literally.
If a horse can do something stupid it will do it.
Horses like to knock over wheel barrows piled high with s**t.
January at 5am is an awful time of day to be at a stable so I let Her do this.
A saddle. An item crafted out of the finest leather & costing upwards of £1k that never fits your horse.
You can ACTUALLY wear out a pair of Wellington boots in 6 months.
A decent pair Wellington boots that last 6 months cost around £100.
The vet. A nice man that turns up regularly & empties your bank account.
Grooming. It takes hours & is the green light for your horse to then go and roll in mud, s**t & probably fox poo.
Horse dentist. A barbaric man with steel toe cap boots, a bucket of big rasp files who turns up & empties your bank account.
Farrier. A really nice bloke who turns up & empties your bank account every 6 weeks in exchange for putting bits of metal on your horses feet which fall off with 10 minutes of him leaving.
Horse Walker. A giant electrified hamster wheel for horses.
Crop. A whip thing covered in mud & hair & not at like the ones in Anne Summers.
Wheelbarrows. I can now tell the difference between a good one & a bad one. A good one has a low centre of gravity. A bad one falls over as soon as a horse so much as farts near it.
Water bucket. A container holding fresh water into which a horse must s**t at the first opportunity.
Horse Teeth. Giant chisel like things that the bastards like to grab you with the instant you're not looking.
Hunting. A big excuse for lots of horsey people to race around the countryside, looking posh with loads of dogs & never ever seeing a fox. Mainly because I shot it 2 weeks ago. And a nice excuse for yobs in balaclavas to have an outing and desperate not admit to it being a class war, despite the people with the horses having more of an empty bank account than they do.
Being run over by a horse feels exactly the same as being run over by a car. I've done both & can confirm this to be true.
6 months ago, watching my beautiful girlfriend, riding a demented, bronc'ing, rearing fiery horse filled me with dread. Now I just accept it's what happens.
4 hours is the time it takes to use a foot pump to inflate a 7.5 tonne horse lorry tire to 85lb PSI with a foot pump.
Stock fencing. An object that any horse treats as a challenge. It's to be jumped, kicked, leant against until it snaps at any opportunity.
Electric fencing. Decorative tinsel for ponies!
Horse worms. Jesus!!!! They're HUGE! A ball of grass snakes just fell out of your horses bum. Apparently this is because the previous owner used a 'herbal remedy' & not a proper medication.
Don't wrap the lead rope around your hand. Because a dangerous empty bag of Quavers, which are well known for attacking horses, will blow past in the wind causing the horse to bolt in panic & will pull your fingers out of their sockets. This hurts enough to make you vomit.
Horse rugs. Why do we always need another one? What does this one do that the other 76 don't do?
😂

We've come a long way! 6 Years ago I started this business. My 1st year I did all the repairs by hand as I didn't own any sewing machine at all. Washing was done flat out on my driveway with a scrub brush and a hose on my knees. Over the years I've built this buisness from the 350 I painstakingly did my first summer with no equipment and a massive learning curve, to the giant business it is today. This last spring we moved to a new home with a massive 2000 sq ft separate garage for THBS to run out of. ( No more blankets taking over my home 😆)
Today another often wished for upgrade arrived, a true commercial quality heavy duty sewing machine ❤

Do you have dirty blankets coming off your horse this spring? Don't stash them somewhere for the summer, waiting till you to have enough time to figure out what to do with them. Life in the horse world is busy so let me make dealing with blankets easy for you. I am starting pick up runs now, you can have those blankets whisked away from your farm or home and when they are returned they will be clean and packed ready to store for the summer. You do not even have to wait around for me. I can pick up from any location. Just label your bags and leave them somewhere safe at your home or farm and I will pick them up.
Payment is due upon return so no worries about how to pay for it right now. Let me pick them up and get to work on them this spring so you do not even have to think about horse blankets again till the fall!
Also picking up Fly sheets for repairs and cleaning so they can be ready before the flies come out to try and feast on our furry friends!
I already have pick up runs scheduled:
Pittsboro March 8th
Clayton/Wendell Marche 13th
Fuquay Varina March 28th
Fuquay Varina May 30th
Message me to book your pick up as spots are starting to fill up already!

How are those fly sheets looking after last summer?
Are they stored somewhere filthy and smelly, possibly torn or needing a new strap or Velcro?
I have your solution!
I am accepting fly sheets (and anything else you want to send my way) for cleaning and repair services.
Your fly gear will be picked up, cleaned, repaired, and returned to you before the bugs even realize its spring yet. You will be ready to get them on your horse at the first sign of those pesky winged pests. I am able to pick up and deliver them to save you the trouble of trying to find time in your busy schedule to drive them somewhere and pick them up later.
Not sure if its worth the time or cost to save last years fly sheet? Most Fly sheet cleaning and repair services come in at under $25, less than half the cost of purchasing a brand new one on sale. I also can clean/repair fly boots & masks.
Message me for more info on getting your fly sheets picked up for early season service!
Repairs and cleaning to Blankets of all weights and types are also available all year long.
Thank you
