Maryland Equine Transition Service (METS) $50 |
I like bling! I have never found a brow band that has enough bling and the right colors. So, I decided to make one. It was so much fun, I made another one. Then I made another, and another. I gave some to friends, who mostly liked them. I am now making very blingy, subdued (colors but no bling), and whimsical brow bands. I am offering them to the FADS community as another way to donate to the same charities as my FADS shows - the cost covers materials ($ goes to me) and a donation ($ goes to one of four charities that you designate).
Some of the brow bands are ready-made; others can be custom ordered with your show color(s) and/or your favorite color(s).
Since most of the the brow bands have snaps, it is easy to exchange brow bands on the bridle - all the more reason to get multiple brow bands!
Do you have a Pas de Deux or Quadrille with color themes? Get brow bands to match your theme.
I hope you like the brow bands and enjoy donating to the designated charities.
Please note, this is a hobby, not a business; although I recoup some of my costs, I do not make a profit.
