Thank you so much - the bracelet has arrived (I can't thank you enough for getting it to me before Christmas!). It is beautiful and I am sure Jim will love it. I will most certainly be asking you to make another bracelet (my horses, next time, for me!) just as soon as I have saved a few pennies. Thanks again and I hope that you have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year. Kind regards, J.

I have just received the keyring that you made and it is really lovely, thank you. I ordered it for my husband for Christmas.  Eddie is his horse of a lifetime and now retired he is still a very big part of our family. I know Ian will be delighted.  Thank you again and happy Christmas.  LP.

Thanks so much for the lovely bracelet, I now can still touch Harvey. He was my best friend and I wish I could have repaid him for every mile he carried me (mostly at a gallop!) for the last twelve eyars.  It's almost a month since I lost him so the bracelet is a great comfort and I wear it every day.  I think now he's free he will be galloping around horse heaven.  JW.

20.11.2011
Thank you for the absolutely fantastic work that you have done with Arnie's tail.  I think my daughter will be absolutely thrilled - as am I.  It will be such a lovely reminder (not that I need one) of the most gorgeous and loyal horse I ever was fortunate enough to have owned.  NH.

Neggy was a super pony and gave her best all the time. She was due to be put to sleep when my husband bought her for a surprise for my birthday when she was 13. Although she was fit and healthy she could not complete her job of 3 chuckas, being a polo pony for the Light Dragoons Regiment serving in Germany at the time. She moved to several places with us in Germany and then we moved back to England nearly 6 years ago.  All the time she settled in fine and was fun to be with and I loved her with all my heart. She was the fastest horse I have ever ridden and the fastest horse on any yard I have ever been on.  She had a quirky way of rolling, sitting on her bum and shuffling round, really funny to watch.  Everyone I know says I will never get another pony quite like her. She was put to sleep in August 2011 aged 31 years.  She has given me the most beautiful times and I will miss her every day.
PS.  My husband said it was the best £300 he has ever spent .... she will be playing polo with her friends in the green fields above now.

Just to say I am absolutely delighted with the bracelet. It will be an emotional moment, no doubt, when I give it to my daughter for her birthday next week!  Many thanks, H.C.

20.9.11
As a mark of respect for a hard loss, with sympathy and friendship, we wanted a bracelet for a dear friend, made up from the tail hair gathered from 15 horses, with a deadline so it could be delivered, in person, to Spain. The care and customer service we received was brilliant from start to finish, including creative choices given about how to proceed with the look of the bracelet once the tail hair was received.  The end result was beyond all expectation – a thing of exquisite beauty that spoke to the sentiment we wanted to convey and with all that, delivered to our deadline with updates of progress along the way. We could not be happier with the stunning result and thank you, Kath, for your artistry, compassion and superb customer care. With thanks from the H2M forum of friends. Kind regards, Liane

29.7.11
The bracelet is stunning and far exceeded my expectations. It is a lovely tribute to my beloved Holly who shared my life for over 17 years. You are a very talented lady. Thank you.  I will send the hair back to you for some earrings! SK


25.7.11
Hi Kath, bracelet arrived today, it's absolutely beautiful and thank you so much for  making it so quickly for me. It is to be an 18th birthday present and I know Victoria will be delighted with it.  Thank you again, J.E.

18.7.11
Thank you very much for making my bracelet. It was the most amazing 18th birthday present! It is unique and will stay with me forever - I will probably end up with a collection from lots of different horses! My pony Wilma means everything to me so it's great to have a lasting memory of her.  Thank you very much for making it.  Sophie.

I have received my bracelet and I just wanted to Email to say thank you.  It is absolutely beautiful and a lovely reminder to me of my beloved mare.  I can't believe the workmanship that has gone into making this.  I absolutely love it.  Thank you again.  Very kind regards, Demelza Rowland.

Losing Emmie was one of life's toughest moments, she was so much more than just a horse, she was a calming and trusting spirit in an uncertain world. Nothing can or ever will replace her but having a piece of her to wear close to my heart in the form of the beautiful necklace you have made, means that I can carry a piece of her with me, and I can touch it and imagine her smell and her warmth. Something I can treasure alongside the memories. Thank you.  Gill Dixon

The bracelet arrived today as planned and is absolutely lovely. You would probably hardly guess what it’s made of as it just looks like a unique and beautiful bracelet yet is made of, and means, something so special. Thank you so much.  Best wishes,  Val

Today my bracelet arrived at work.  I was overwhelmed when I saw it - it is so beautiful and will be so treasured as Bert himself was. It is only four weeks  since he was put to sleep and I cannot even mention his name yet without breaking down in tears.  I am going to send you in the near future hair from my mare Violet and also some more hair from Bert to have worked together into a bracelet.  Thank you so much again for the wonderful workmanship and service.  S.R.

27.5.11
Thank you so much for the three bracelets you made for me.  You have no idea how much they mean to us.  You have done an amazing job.  I deliberated long and hard over which style to choose and am so happy with the outcome.  Thank you again.  Maddy may no longer be on this earth but the bracelet is with me always and helps to keep my very special horse close.  Fiona.

I loved my bracelet from my best pal 'Emire'. He was a week off 34 when he passed away in his stable on 1.5.10.  I had owned Emire for 31 years so it was a huge wrench to lose him but I take comfort from knowing I always have a little bit of him still with me with my bracelet.  Thank you.  Marion.



2.4.11
Our bracelets arrived today and are absolutely wonderful.  They are beautifully made and have very high quality fittings and clasps on them.  My whole shopping experience with High Peak Horsehair Jewellery has been excellent and I highly recommend the service to anyone considering a unique piece of jewellery.  Our beautiful pony Doddie was nearly 31 years when we lost him last month and we now have an extra memory of him to treasure forever.  My daughter and I are thrilled - thank you Kath and thank you Doddie for touching our lives.  JH.

 Many thanks for the bracelet, received safely. Pat loved it. I would be delighted for you to use my comments, both for Pat's bracelet and the Country Loop pendant and Country Twist bracelet that you made for me in 2007.  They are the most lovely keepsakes of my dear William, I get great pleasure from wearing them both. Kind regards, Norma Green.

Cezare   04/03/1991-31/1/2011
He wasn't just a beautiful horse, but a fantastic friend to all who knew him. You have been the light of my life for many years and life will never be the same again without you by my side. I was extremely blessed to have met you my friend, you will be forever missed.

Thank you for the wonderful bracelet. I now have a little piece of him with me, always.   Roberta Cattroll-Klymchuk

I would like to thank you for the beautiful pendant you have made from the hair of my two horses.  The pendant arrived today and it is stunning, it really lifted my spirits to know that I can have my two horses close to me again.  I have put the pendant on a silver chain and put it on immediately.  Thank you for doing such a wonderful job.  Jayshea Wilbrahim.

Many thanks for the safe delivery of the bracelet.  I am very pleased with it and am about to post photos of it to those that contributed.  I am sure Lucy will be very pleased with it when she gets it.  I think what you do is a lovely way to remember our four legged equine buddies and your jewellery is very beautiful.  I was a little spoilt for choice on what to choose but am very pleased with the result.  Rachel Ponder.

I ordered the bracelet for my friend who had recently lost her pony. She was absolutely delighted with it and, of course, very emotional. Thank you so much for prompt service and the high quality of work.  Jill Kerr.

15.7.10

My bracelet has arrived.  Thank you very much, it is lovely.  I have two bracelets that you have made for me so I am also a returning customer. If I was to get a third horse I would be back again!! Kind regards, Gillian.

25.6.10
Thank you so much for mum's necklace.  It's beautiful and I know she'll love it. You were so kind having it ready for her birthday and everything from the presentation box to the certificate is really professional.  I am so pleased I found you on the net and I will keep your cards in case any of my horsey friends ever want something making. I would be happy to recommend you verbally if someone wanted any more convincing. When your horse dies it's the worst thing ever and knowing that you can trust someone to not only make a super job of turning the precious piece of hair you took in those last sad moments, into something you can keep forever, but you returned the rest of the hair safely so we can take care of that in case we decide to have something else made.  Kind regards, Lisa Van Den Heuvel.


25.6.10
Thank you so much for the beautiful jewellery you made for me from my dear old pony Blanche.  I miss her so much but the necklace and earrings are a wonderful memory and wearing them makes me feel closer to her and are something I can treasure for always.  Kind regards, Donna.



15.6.10
Love it, love it, love it, love it!!!!  I know my Rosie won't last for ever but I will have my bracelet of her for always (you even had one of her black hairs running through it).  I have been showing it to everyone. Thanks again, Nic Bunting

5.6.10
My bracelet arrived safely this morning and I am so pleased with it.  I have passed your details on to two of my friends so I hope they get in touch.  Again, thank you, Belinda Palin.

3.6.10
The bracelet arrived this morning and it's beautiful, I'm really pleased with it.  The size is perfect, it looks lovely with that little piece of chain in it.  Again, thank you very much.  Best wishes, Susan H.


28.5.10
Thank you for the prompt making and delivery of the bracelet. It looks fantastic and I am sure when I give it to my friend she will be extremely happy! I will recommend you to everyone !!  Thanks again,  Sorrell

10.5.10

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the bracelet.  It is  perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!  All my horse owning friends are as impressed as I am and I'm  sure will be placing orders. I have attached a photo of Maverick.   Kindest regards, Lisa.
 

 


13.4.10
I received the bracelet. I am over the moon with it.  It is such a lovely  memento of my old fella.  I wear it all the while.  My work colleagues were amazed that jewellery can be made in such a way. Thank you so much.  I will highly recommend you to my other horsey friends. I have attached a piccy of us.  He was around 28 years old on this one. With kind regards, Mandy.


 

30.3.10
The bracelet was fantastic, it was the perfect gift for my wife, who has stated it will remain on her wrist forever. Your service is outstanding and the bracelet did amaze me as I could not fathom how you could make such a beautiful looking piece of jewellery from horse hair. But you did. Thank you so much and I will be recommending you to anyone who will listen. Many thanks again. Kind regards. Wayne Cottle.

21.3.10
Everything has arrived safely and 'E' and I are delighted.  The quality is superb.  'L'  doesn't know she will be getting one too for her birthday at the end of May.  It is a lovely reminder of a fantastic family horse who gave so many people so much pleasure.  Many thanks.  M.T.

19.3.10
Just to let you know that I have received my choker and the bracelet, for my daughter's birthday. They are both lovely, I am wearing my choker as I type this and will probably not take it off for a long time. It makes me feel close to Blue and I want to show it to everybody. They won't believe what lovely things can be made from horsehair and I'm going to Brackenhurst Equestrian College tomorrow, so I'll have lots of people to show it off to.  We had Blue for 11 years and she was the sweetest horse I have ever had ( I have 3 others). She had very aggressive melanomas for 9 years but was a terrific endurance pony, up until May last year. My friend Julie Chapman rode her then. Our jewellery is a great keepsake for her memory. You should feel proud that your talent for making it provides such lasting, sentimental pleasure for people like us.  Kind regards, Annette Goodman.

10.3.10
The bracelets are just perfect, thank you so much.  Puzzle has been in our family for over 20 years and is much loved.  At the age of 33 he is still doing great and still thinks he is 3 rather than 33.  The bracelets will be cherished forever. I have no doubt that my fellow horse owner friends will be ordering shortly. Many thanks,  E.C.

2.3.10
Thank you so much for making the beautiful horse hair jewellery. I am absolutely thrilled with them – what a wonderful birthday present.  Thank you again and especially thank you for making it in time for my birthday.  The hair belongs to Monty who I have on loan. However, it was a wonderful surprise to learn that my husband had bought Monty for me for my birthday - so to also receive such beautiful jewellery made from his tail made them even more special. A physical treasure I will be able to keep forever. Thank you.  Janet Lofthouse.

23.2.10
Just to let you know my bracelets arrived safely today.  The quality of the workmanship is superb; the bracelets are beautiful and really striking with the black and white hair intertwined.  They will be a fantastic reminder to myself and my mother of our two wonderful horses Guinness and Storm.  I will recommend your horse hair jewellery to my friends and hope to add to my collection as I have some hair remaining. Best regards and many thanks, Fiona Burnard.

15.2.10
Just to let you know my bracelet arrived this morning and it's lovely.  Thank you very much.  Sarah Marshall.

26.1.10
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for my beautiful bracelet that arrived today and the certificate that has come with it just makes it complete.  I felt very emotional opening the package but feel happy knowing that I have something very beautiful made from Harri's own hair and something that I can treasure along with my memories.  Louise.

20.1.10
Just to let you know the necklace arrived safely today - I am utterly thrilled with it.  It's the perfect memento of Alf.  Thank you so, so much.  Lucy Morley.

14.1.10
The bracelet arrived safely and it's lovely. My horse Baz is 31 years young now and it will be a lovely memento when he finally leaves me.  Pat

Hi Kath.  The bracelet arrived this morning, it's beautiful. I gave it to my friend Alison & she loved it. It made her cry but in a good way as she now has something of "Tilly" that she can keep forever, I will definitely recommend your jewellery to all my friends as it is a lovely keepsake of our special horses. Thank you so much for all your help.   Mrs T.H.

4.1.10

Hi, just like to say thank you for the lovely necklace you made me in memory of Archie (Whalton Panache). I really love it and wear it all the time. It's nearly a year since Archie was put down through cancer but I feel he's with me all the time now (much better than a pot of ash). I've enclosed a pic of Archie for you to see. He was a 13.2 riding pony that my 2 daughters used to compete. We bought him when he was 16 and he died when he was 29.  Thanks, Chris.



22.12.09

Hi Kath, I just wanted to say thank you very much for my lovely pieces of jewellery. They are very beautiful and I am thrilled with them. Thank you once again for doing such a wonderful job with them – I will treasure them forever and will most certainly recommend you to my friends.    Kindest regards,   Mrs K.D.
