People have not oly lost their money, sometimes the last tail hair of the beloved horse as well.</span></p><p><b>Horsehair jewellery nannasalmi</b></p><p>Nanna Salmi has a long experience and history as a weaver and textile designer. As she got a horse, she had a new material in her hands: tail hair. She was very exited about it and decided to try weaving with hair.</p><p>She figured out how to make smooth and fine ribbons and started to develope and design a jewellery collection with a woven tail hair ribbon. It wasn´t that easy, but in cooperation with the goldsmith the problems and numerous challenges combining tail hair ribbon and precious metals were solved and the current nannasalmi collection was born. The first collection ever with a woven tailhair ribbon.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5AjrSO2mNljWNyiP1ria3qvAkMNUj3-1_NSEpvkkQqPgaZGQI0dj7SFlwuM-tiSARfbsn9gVgCKmBnrGBdCuMpzZjyXFhGAELykz0Rdjo_Ic_FhpQnJ_p3c96Xg81u3v0zVseKehjwe6Ro4NVfcWS5aA1nl2hzcu_D3qIRLjB5ukrMeNI7d9s6gwZSVE/s2016/asikkala%20059.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="designer Nanna Salmi" border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5AjrSO2mNljWNyiP1ria3qvAkMNUj3-1_NSEpvkkQqPgaZGQI0dj7SFlwuM-tiSARfbsn9gVgCKmBnrGBdCuMpzZjyXFhGAELykz0Rdjo_Ic_FhpQnJ_p3c96Xg81u3v0zVseKehjwe6Ro4NVfcWS5aA1nl2hzcu_D3qIRLjB5ukrMeNI7d9s6gwZSVE/w640-h480/asikkala%20059.JPG" title="The original collection of woven tail hair jewellery" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><b>House of Salmi</b></p><p>The business of House of Salmi is based on copying, cheating, lying and fraud. Tax obligations have not been taken care of, debts have not been paid, customers and other retailers have been cheated. Nanna's business secrets have been shared with other companies, the partners (goldsmith, other retailers) have been lied to. This all sounds quite unbelieveable, but unfortunately it´s all true.</p><p>The man behind the brand "House of Salmi" is Tomi Salmi (TS, b. 1971). He started to work with Nanna Salmi (NS) 2004 and his job discription was a salesman. He had an own company Equisetum Ky. Part of his job discription was also to updated the nannasalmi Facebook page and administering the home page nannasalmi.com.</p><p></p><p>TS travelled a lot and business was going very well for both Nanna Salmi and Tomi Salmi. He found new retailers in Denmark, France, Ireland and Japan. Also a famous Italian riding cloth tailor started selling nannasalmi collection.</p><div><div>TS received orders and money from customers. NS wove the ribbons, goldsmith did his job and Tomi sent, or was supposed to send ready items to customers and retailers. Soon NS had so much weaving work that she gave TS more responsibility. And why not; basically you think you can trust the family.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In 2012 strange things started to happen and to come out.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>COUNTERFEITING OF DOCUMENTS</b></div><div>TS changed the numbering of orders to chronological on 30.01.2012. TS wanted to change a goldsmith from Lahti to his home town (Turku, Nousiainen) to make things work ”more fluently”, and as a result NS did not see the ready made items anymore before they were sent to the customers, nor did she know about the true number of orders.</div><div><br /></div><div>According to Nanna Salmi´s own order book, not all orders came to her, but TS apparently delivered about a hundred pieces of jewellery past NS. The assumption is that he had used ribbons supplied by NS for jewellery that had never been delivered to customers, or TS had another weaver as a partner already at that time who had woven ribbons for the jewellery of "nannasalmi collection".</div><div><br /></div><div>The document forgeries came to light by chance, as some customers contacted NS directly and inquired after the jewellery they had ordered and paid for.</div><div><br /></div><div>TS also reported cheaper jewellery to be ordered in order to reduce NS's share.</div><div><br /></div><div>This wasn´t enough, he got greedier and greedier...</div><div><br /></div><div><b>nannasalmi Facebook page </b></div><div>In the beginning of working together NS and TS both had the right to publish images and text on the FB page. At some point TS removed ownership of the page from NS and began managing the content of the pages alone.</div><div><br /></div><div>Subsequently, it was emerged that TS, without the knowledge and consent of NS, had also set up regional FB pages which appeared to the founder and administrator and FB users in certain countries. These regional pages were at least for European German-speaking areas, South America and propably also the British Isles. The international "main page" was displayed in all countries.</div><div><br /></div><div>As TS had blocked visibility from Finnish users, NS was not even aware of the existence of regional sites, not to mention what kind of trading TS was doing there. He had discount sales and auctions of which NS was not notified. He also had ”Livery yard prices” which were much lower than current list prices approved by NS.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>All this was preparation for ”a great take over”.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>ACQUISITION PLANNING / PREPARATION FOR MAJOR FRAUD</b></div><div>In 2011, Jodilyn Morel (Canada) had expressed her desire to become a retailer for nannasalmi jewellery in North America (USA, Canada). NS wove ribbons for JM's model jewellery and co-operation was in its infancy.</div><div><br /></div><div>In October 2012, NS received an email from Jodi Morel. Attached was a draft contract prepared by TS from May 2012 for them a joint venture (TS and JM) to manufacture and market nannasalmi in the USA and Canada.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>In the draft agreement TS proposes to Morel a $ 50,000 purchase for the rights of nannasalmi jewellery models.</b> This transaction amount was to be paid to TS. The company would have owned TS 30% and JM 70%.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nanna Salmi did not know about the draft agreement before receiving an email from JM in October 2012.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jodi Morel's husband is a lawyer. He thought there was something strange about the contract pattern and he had urged JM to contact NS to check if NS is aware of such rights sales and agreements and what would be NS 's role in the case.</div><div><br /></div><div>NS wasn´t aware of this agreement. TS had no rights to sell nannasalmi collection rights to anyone or even to negotiate for such.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>This was a moment he started to consider himself as "a designer" and the owner of the brand nannasalmi. </b>We still don´t know what made him to think that great and stupendous about himself, but you may be able to draw your own conclusions.</div><div><br /></div><div>He wanted to change "expensive" Finnish goldsmith to a cheaper (Estonian) goldsmith. The quality of work didn´t fulfill NS´s standards. Without NS knowing or her permission TS also had changes made in designs in order to save in gold and white gold price.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>LOSSES OF RETAILERS</b></div><div><b>For some time TS told everyone that NS was retired, no longer involved in jewellery business, and that he, TS, controlles all areas of manufacturing and sales. He also forbade the goldsmith, retailers and customers to be in touch with NS.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The Italian retailer resigned due to unreliability of TS. The reasons were the same as for the other retailers and individual customers: deliveries were late for months, even years.</div><div><br /></div><div>A French Company, a former retailer, copied Nanna Salmi's innovation and idea, at least one jewellery model and ribbon designs designed by Nanna Salmi, and sold them as their own collection in French-speaking Europe. They have stopped now.</div><div><br /></div><div>In spring 2012 TS asked Denmark´s retailer to send the model jewellery collection to TS to be cleaned. In November 2012 some of the jewelleries were still in TS's possession and not returned to the retailer. It is doubtful that due to financial difficulties of his company, TS has not been able to supply jewelleries to customers, but he had resold the retailer's model jewellery to new customers. Cooperation ended, of course.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Irish retailer wanted to stop selling the collection as well. TS explained the delays that "NS had not supplied ribbons to be attached to the jewellery in time", "jewellery lost in the mail", "ribbons lost in the mail", etc. Endless lies and explanations.</div><div><br /></div><div>When all this started to come out NS told TS that their cooperation had come to the end. How did he react?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>TS changed the nannasalmi pages into House of Salmi pages and deleted nannasalmi.com home page.</b></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPOOU0b8SX5zdWOn7gk1xjZ1kynWkOhcC9W3GcLpi1jpLeLw-DDbDDFcyie8CrwKjgNBs4QyYP0U7DQeitgllFY-S4YhDpDV9Ij103Gyj0kEAww5MVN1P9z53R0iEZ_fOARhoVJeq_-W0pO5wSX6kvQAYnf5ukiaV8kCe2AGBZV0WRy9F6Jk-fBURY-N8/s996/house%20of%20salmi%20fraud.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Haus von Salmi Betrug" border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="996" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPOOU0b8SX5zdWOn7gk1xjZ1kynWkOhcC9W3GcLpi1jpLeLw-DDbDDFcyie8CrwKjgNBs4QyYP0U7DQeitgllFY-S4YhDpDV9Ij103Gyj0kEAww5MVN1P9z53R0iEZ_fOARhoVJeq_-W0pO5wSX6kvQAYnf5ukiaV8kCe2AGBZV0WRy9F6Jk-fBURY-N8/w640-h309/house%20of%20salmi%20fraud.JPG" title="House of Salmi stole the fans of nannasalmi" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>TS stole NS´s invention, business idea and customers and unauthorized copied NS´s designs and started his own business as House of Salmi. This is how he introduced himself:</div><div><br /></div><div>"The House of Salmi is the new brand by designer Tomi Salmi. He comes from an artistic family and follows in the footsteps of his family member, who years ago began designing jewellery with horsehair."</div><div><br /></div><div>All ”his designs” are slightly modified copies of the nannasalmi jewellery collection. He has no background or education of any kind as a designer or an artist. Before his carreer as ”a designer” he had worked as a bouncer and a welder at a shipyard in Turku, Finland.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the jewellery business anyone who has ever worked with him (till now) has stopped cooperating with him. The reasons have been always the same: unreliability and ambiguities in financial matters.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nowadays TS lives in Germany, Aachen, but the HoS company page says that the company is registered in UK.</div><div><br /></div><div>TS left Finland when debts started piling up. He had debt to the Finnish tax office almost 170 000 €, and for other parties ca. 36 000 €. This includes a loan from Finnvera, ca. 20 000 €. Finnvera is a Finnish state-owned financing company, the official export credit agency for Finland. Finnvera provides loans, credits and guarantees. Finnvera also finances start-up enterprises. The company is responsible to the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>These numbers are from official documents which anybody can order to be seen and we can prove the numbers.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>MEANWHILE ANOTHER BUSINESS</b></div><div>Those days TS also started a company with his brother. His brother worked, and still does in a company designing fair stands for big international companies like Lexus, IBM etc. He invented and developed a new kind of a fair structure which was easy, light, protean and economical. He knew the challenges of building fair stands and used his creativity and knowledge to solve those problems.</div><div><br /></div><div>TS wanted to help him with marketing and the production started in a cooperation with a company specialized in aluminium constructions. As soon as orders and money came in, TS withdrew all the money from the company bank account and left for Florida for three months with his family. The other brother has paid the subcontractors their money since then, tens of thousands of Euros.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>nannasalmi TODAY</b></div><div>NS never stopped working. Goldsmith work was taken back to Finland and the designs were returned back to the original ones. NS still works with the same goldsmith with whom she has worked since the beginning, now for over twenty years, Marjut Viitanen.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Since TS was no more a part of her business, there has been no problems with delivery times or quality of the jewellery.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Besides the retailers in the other countries her ”saleswoman” now is her daughter, Minna. She has created the web page horsehair jewellery nannasalmi.com, she updates social media (Facebook in English, Finnish and German, Instagram) and takes care of customer service and invoicing.</div><div><br /></div><div>But each item made for a customer, you, is from Nanna Salmi herself. She receives the precious hair strands, weaves the ribbon and finally sends the ready made item to you.</div><div><br /></div><div>nannasalmi horsehair jewellery has over 3000 happy customers all over the world. Nanna Salmi´s work as a designer and innovator is recognized among other jewellery designers and goldsmiths.

The importance of the horse in forest work was emphasized when the forest industry with sawmills and paper mills needed large amounts of wood raw material from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Back in the early 1960s, the timber cut from the forests was almost entirely hauled away by horses. Although tractors started to become more common on farms, agricultural tractors were initially too inefficient for forest work. In the procurement period 1960-1961, there were still around 55,000 horses in forest work in Finland, but in 1970 only 17,300.<br /><br />Source: <a href="https://www.kajaani.fi/kulttuuri-ja-liikunta/kainuun-museo/perusnayttely/hevonen-metsatoissa/" target="_blank"><b>Kajaani.fi, Kajaanin museo</b></a><br /><br /></span>Following photos by Tessa Lepistö and Tanja Lundsten</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLeoAeKr6gbJG_yGD1lL3mgNqOdvzHxfGMZTpMdEzJobaV-TYjeQuTVkTRorx_ILoJ5U-eHf9EO17-d6PgSx5QDaqCIwcIXdrvqrIh_DQvMn0sWonrg9O0bLlK-NTex5vAIQEF5dRdIjV6sXkt36vG47_bhQKV2QQEp58gyDtiigsgngVhPovUmqNq/s1227/tuohivirsu%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Suomenhevonen metsätöissä, Tuohivirsu" border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="691" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLeoAeKr6gbJG_yGD1lL3mgNqOdvzHxfGMZTpMdEzJobaV-TYjeQuTVkTRorx_ILoJ5U-eHf9EO17-d6PgSx5QDaqCIwcIXdrvqrIh_DQvMn0sWonrg9O0bLlK-NTex5vAIQEF5dRdIjV6sXkt36vG47_bhQKV2QQEp58gyDtiigsgngVhPovUmqNq/w360-h640/tuohivirsu%201.jpg" title="Forest work with a horse, finnhorse working" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Today they are hardly used at all, but now their use has started to be appreciated again and many manage their own forest with a horse and offer services to others as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Finnhorse Tuohivirsu enjoys forest work.

In Finland the ground freezes to a depth of 20–60 cm on average during the winter months, in the north the depth of frost can be up to 120 cm. The icy ground protects the roots of the trees, and the passage of a horse in the forest does not damage the soil. A horse can also travel through a denser forest than a machine, so when working with a horse there is no need for clearcutting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bEVwRVIxD9R2noZ9oYlm4PDb2DivBC6tVmYCtOF1oOnYvpMXAk0U6F6f1S4YruXeqniqQNNXuag8Ti5wiBjW7ypTJhlwd-bDSiH7yLcq95eVxFhTGh6MIAxFAYFNTrQ4E2RUL0lbecFTmFG23Dch8FTHdPVIsnoCVzsFvzTPlbww6ABVrGtIa9eG/s2000/tuohivirsu%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="suomenhevonen metsätöissä" border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bEVwRVIxD9R2noZ9oYlm4PDb2DivBC6tVmYCtOF1oOnYvpMXAk0U6F6f1S4YruXeqniqQNNXuag8Ti5wiBjW7ypTJhlwd-bDSiH7yLcq95eVxFhTGh6MIAxFAYFNTrQ4E2RUL0lbecFTmFG23Dch8FTHdPVIsnoCVzsFvzTPlbww6ABVrGtIa9eG/w480-h640/tuohivirsu%203.jpg" title="Forest work with a horse, finnhorse working" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Hay for Tuohivirsu...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvP_nitXnBZ57WWpRdvrS3U03VUBKLTSjFSmGWh_2Yj78od3CmkN_GCMxsiOT-Dx3ZLoLdGT--BZJn3Oj071_rhzLpaN0i6WaUj3gGupuPSijH6ChCIBDGhikPWO6uyVhySLiwo_KsiYDthXX5VaxIzB8kghpf4JM0xbiCB2KkAFUUbJy9KQSquqFS/s2048/tuohivirsu%207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nokipannukahvit" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvP_nitXnBZ57WWpRdvrS3U03VUBKLTSjFSmGWh_2Yj78od3CmkN_GCMxsiOT-Dx3ZLoLdGT--BZJn3Oj071_rhzLpaN0i6WaUj3gGupuPSijH6ChCIBDGhikPWO6uyVhySLiwo_KsiYDthXX5VaxIzB8kghpf4JM0xbiCB2KkAFUUbJy9KQSquqFS/w640-h480/tuohivirsu%207.jpg" title="Sootpot coffee in a Finnish forest" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">...and coffee for the rest of the team.

From these it has been a long way to the modern horseshoe. Nowadays horseshoes are available in a wide variety of materials, but also styles, developed for different types of horse and for the work they do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Horseshoes have traditionally been common lucky charms. You can often see them hanging over the entrance of a home. Horseshoes are thought to bring good luck and protection over the centuries. But why people around the world believe in the luck of the humble horseshoe?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XjfAyaCKGCk/YRemzVP41cI/AAAAAAAAKIc/sQ0ro2oSLrkDIhwkT380poGdbrPzbMgHACLcBGAsYHQ/s960/hh3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XjfAyaCKGCk/YRemzVP41cI/AAAAAAAAKIc/sQ0ro2oSLrkDIhwkT380poGdbrPzbMgHACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/hh3.jpg" title="Good luck charm, horseshoe" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"In the Irish story of the blacksmith and the devil, one day a blacksmith was working hard in his shop forging horseshoes. Suddenly, the devil appeared and demanded his own shoes. The blacksmith, recognizing the devil, took a burning hot shoe and nailed it deep into the devil's hooves. After walking away, the devil was in such excruciating pain, he ripped the horseshoes off and swore he would never go near one again. Thus, the tradition of hanging a horseshoe over the entrance of a house to ward off evil spirits was born."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"Another story has more to do with the metal in the horseshoes. Early Western Europeans believed that iron had magical powers. Iron could drive away evil, and folklore of the time told of many malevolent fairies and mystical creatures. Since horseshoes were made of iron, they kept the badly behaving fairies away. Other legends said that witches were so afraid of iron horseshoes, they traveled on broomsticks instead of on horseback."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Source: people.howstuffworks.com</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Horseshoes, like many other goods in our daily use, include both: practicality and beauty. Sometimes we just forget about the beauty of them. In a jewellery, the functional beauty can be very delicate, and can you imagine a better good luck charm for yourself than a ring, bracelet, necklace, tiebar or a plastron needle with your own horse´s tail hair?

Your horse has recognized your steps and knows what is to come.</p><p>A heavy stable door squeaks when you open it. You sense the familiar scents of the stable: hay, manure, leather - and horses. You think that nothing smells as good as a horse. </p><p>You go to greet your horse, give him a little morning hay. But still he must remain in the stall. You head to the tack room first. Your friend is waiting with a basket of a thermos flask full of hot coffee and stuffed breakfast rolls. You drink coffee together, you enjoy the silence of the stable. On the walls saddles and bridles shine cleaned, bits washed and shiny, and you realize that coffee doesn´t taste so good anywhere else. </p><p>Once you have finished your little breakfast, you take the saddles on your arms, bridles to the other hand, and go back to the horses. They are waiting for you vigilantly, ears chortling, eager but calm. </p><p>You brush the horse's sides and back quickly and brush the face a little just for being close. The saddle feels light to get up on the horse’s back. Bridle slips like itself on the head. When the bits snap into place, you hear that familiar sound as metal chinks on the teeth. The horse chews a few times and the bits settle in comfortably. You are ready. </p><p>The hooves clop on the stable floor as you two lead the horses out. Now you get in the saddle and a wonderful, peaceful trek through the dewy meadows and spring-awakening forest begins.</p><p>"Moments like this," you think, "I want to cherise in my treasure box of memories."</p><p>Worth your memories,</p><p><a href="http://www.horsehairjewellerynannasalmi.com">www.horsehairjewellerynannasalmi.com</a></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3jHpaS3kd5c/YJYMHcN5e5I/AAAAAAAAKA8/dk3OH1c8bfghSxFSv8lF_5bKL0q8B6RgACLcBGAsYHQ/s886/Sieppaa.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="672" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3jHpaS3kd5c/YJYMHcN5e5I/AAAAAAAAKA8/dk3OH1c8bfghSxFSv8lF_5bKL0q8B6RgACLcBGAsYHQ/w486-h640/Sieppaa.JPG" title="Riding in the forest" width="486" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>mmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11192551196722067821noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206336925975809325.post-46197732601019264032021-03-04T18:41:00.004+02:002021-03-04T19:27:05.321+02:00Any day can be the last one<p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Every horse owner knows that any day can be the last one.</p><p style="text-align: center;">It goes for horses as well as for us humans.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">When going to the stables, you look forward hearing the familiar, friendly neigh.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGVLkQ9iMq8/YEEIO3Hu4LI/AAAAAAAAJ-c/1Iou-a5te_IhosY92ddTCwpPiVVzfWyrQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/blo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="1280" height="464" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGVLkQ9iMq8/YEEIO3Hu4LI/AAAAAAAAJ-c/1Iou-a5te_IhosY92ddTCwpPiVVzfWyrQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h464/blo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div><br /></div><div>You know how it feels when a dear friend puts its muzzle against your cheek -</div><div>and can´t wait for it.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E--JMV6CVbE/YEEIzSvJPTI/AAAAAAAAJ-k/otDRbq3R4eUlopof-q5M2NCS5CqEX7n1QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/blo%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E--JMV6CVbE/YEEIzSvJPTI/AAAAAAAAJ-k/otDRbq3R4eUlopof-q5M2NCS5CqEX7n1QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/blo%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><div><br /></div><div>But one day, suddenly, everything can be different.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">For a year we all have read the terrible news about the virus that has no borders or limits.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It´s everywhere.

Every month they pay the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) a certain amount of money for their cattle to be allowed graze the terrain.</li><li>When the cows feed on the grass, they prevent it from becoming fuel for wildfires.</li><li>Comparatively low feeding cost of cattle and doing business with the government keeps beef costs down for consumers.</li><li>Cattles share the ranges with wild horses.</li><li>Mustangs and burros are protected since 1971 by the federal Bureau of Land Management and there are population limits on cattle herds based on how many horses the land can sustain.</li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Cattle ranchers don´t like that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For decades, BLM has rounded up wild horses and burros, aiming to do it every three to five years. In 2018 the bureau removed over 11 000 wild horses and burros nationwide. But the taxpayer-funded corrals and pastures, where horses wait to be sold or adopted, are nearing capacity.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Slaughtering horses for food is illegal in the U.S., but a market exists in Europe, Japan and Russia. This is why brokers called “kill buyers” send trailers full of horses, both wild and domestic, into Mexico and Canada, where slaughter is legal. In 2018 81,573 horses made the trip.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">BLM tries to control herd populations through operations known as "gathers". For weeks or months at a time, agents and contractors lure horses to water traps, and chase them with helicopters into temporary pens—six-foot metal fences covered in burlap. The horses are trailered to one of 20 permanent facilities the agency owns around the country. There, the stallions are gelded, and along with the mares, are branded with a freezemark.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Adopters used to pay a $125 fee, but in March 2019 the BLM began paying them $1,000 as an incentive. Adopters get half up front, and receive the rest after BLM checks in, at the end of one year, and finds them to be doing a responsible job. After a year and a day, the adopters can buy the horse, and become his legal owner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Activists focused on the plight of wild horses beginning in the 1950s, largely due to the crusading efforts of Velma Johnston, better known as "Wild Horse Annie". Johnston convinced Americans that mustangs, which had been set loose on range land as they were replaced by cars and tractors, were national treasures, and that roundups were ruthless and excessive. Congress agreed, and in 1971 passed the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, which declared the animals to be “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Summary from the original article by Sam Bloch / The Counter:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://thecounter.org/americas-growing-horse-slaughter-trade/" target="_blank">"How America’s wild horses end up in slaughterhouses abroad"</a> (link to the original article)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-etqQAZ5IxfQ/YCqk6rMKEYI/AAAAAAAAJ-A/AK6q3Mb_kogvp-pyBHXXD3AaPfwkCWC3QCLcBGAsYHQ/s745/mustang%2Bluna%2Band%2Bcarlos.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="496" data-original-width="745" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-etqQAZ5IxfQ/YCqk6rMKEYI/AAAAAAAAJ-A/AK6q3Mb_kogvp-pyBHXXD3AaPfwkCWC3QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/mustang%2Bluna%2Band%2Bcarlos.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Luna´s little friend, late Carlos, was a rescue pony.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A bracelet Faune was made for Ursula.

That´s why so much thought, time and effort is put on each jewellery in nannasalmi collection.<div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sNhDv43hNdU/YAhZrpdqJ4I/AAAAAAAAJ7c/NO4LgATCxWoh_6AIuL_Y35kQWlOSQ-ZLwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/horsehair%2Bjewellery%2Bwith%2Bwoven%2Bribbon%2Bby%2Bnannasalmi.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="1200" height="370" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sNhDv43hNdU/YAhZrpdqJ4I/AAAAAAAAJ7c/NO4LgATCxWoh_6AIuL_Y35kQWlOSQ-ZLwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h370/horsehair%2Bjewellery%2Bwith%2Bwoven%2Bribbon%2Bby%2Bnannasalmi.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><p><b>Ribbons </b></p>Ribbons in nannasalmi jewelleries are woven miniatyre textiles. The weaving technique is ancient, but was never used in jewelleries with horsehair before Nanna Salmi made her first item over twenty years ago.<br /><br />Most of the horsehair jewelleries on market have a braided or plaited ribbon. Those techniques are easy and quick, not very difficult to learn. <br /><br />Woven ribbons have special qualities:<div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>They are more durable, no hair strands sticking out</li><li>They are fine and smooth</li><li>It´s possible to weave a pattern to a ribbon that makes it more personal</li></ul><div><div>In a weave hair strands reflect light beautifully and look very special and different compairing to braided or plaited hair.</div><div><br /><div><span><br /></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wkm3SdBfkCs/YALLcGQWhMI/AAAAAAAAJ6k/P-lBT0ldXIk_1eeBFqP6kxUVS5KYkT2DgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/hand%2Bwoven%2Btailhair%2Bribbon%2Bhandgewebte%2Bpferdehaarband%2Bk%25C3%25A4sinkudottu%2Bjouhinauha%2Bnannasalmi.JPG"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="1200" height="264" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wkm3SdBfkCs/YALLcGQWhMI/AAAAAAAAJ6k/P-lBT0ldXIk_1eeBFqP6kxUVS5KYkT2DgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h264/hand%2Bwoven%2Btailhair%2Bribbon%2Bhandgewebte%2Bpferdehaarband%2Bk%25C3%25A4sinkudottu%2Bjouhinauha%2Bnannasalmi.JPG" title="tailhair ribbons designed and woven by nannasalmi" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>This technique, even patterns and their names, are copied by some jewellery makers. As the technique is quite challenging you usually find items with pretty short ribbons like rings and bracelets.<br /><br />Each horse has different kind of hair and even hair strands from the same tail varie of their thickness and quality. That´s why a long or broad, even ribbon is very difficult to weave.<br /><br />Long ribbons are requiered when making bracelets, and even longer ones when making necklaces. Them you find in nannasalmi collection. Broad ribbons, 9 mm, are used also in some bracelets of the collection.</div><div><br /></div><p style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FkJd-l6xBgM/YALMgApefRI/AAAAAAAAJ6w/sPgKExGbVHkdm-5di7-WJ-BRlt6US_SvACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/horsehair%2Bnecklace%2Bwith%2Bhorse%2Bshoe%2Bwhite%2Bgold%2Bdiamonds%2Bhalskette%2Baus%2Bpferdehaar%2Bmit%2Bdiamanten%2Bnannasalmi.jpg"><img alt="pferdehaar halskette mit hufeisen und diamanten" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FkJd-l6xBgM/YALMgApefRI/AAAAAAAAJ6w/sPgKExGbVHkdm-5di7-WJ-BRlt6US_SvACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/horsehair%2Bnecklace%2Bwith%2Bhorse%2Bshoe%2Bwhite%2Bgold%2Bdiamonds%2Bhalskette%2Baus%2Bpferdehaar%2Bmit%2Bdiamanten%2Bnannasalmi.jpg" title="horsehair necklace with horseshoe, white gold and diamonds" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.horsehairjewellerynannasalmi.com/product-page/coriano" target="_blank">Necklace Coriano</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div><b><br /></b></div>Metal parts</b><br /><br />Each part of each jewellery is hand cast and hand finished by a professional caster and goldsmith.

But if you take a better look you will see the difference.</p>Comparing to many other rings with horsehair ribbons, whether woven or braided, the nannasalmi rings are heavier and more massive. For example the golden ring Carus in size 18 weighs ca. 16 g. That is 16 g of pure gold.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><p style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QCvn9AMlAK8/YALI-3TK14I/AAAAAAAAJ6I/jtxNTqspcy0lFS9tvYrapRbSoraeSbMCACLcBGAsYHQ/s960/horsehair%2Bjewellery%2BPferdehaarshmuck%2Bhorsehair%2Bring%2Bby%2Bnannasalmi%2Bbijoux%2Ben%2Bcrin%2Bde%2Bcheval.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="960" height="399" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QCvn9AMlAK8/YALI-3TK14I/AAAAAAAAJ6I/jtxNTqspcy0lFS9tvYrapRbSoraeSbMCACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h399/horsehair%2Bjewellery%2BPferdehaarshmuck%2Bhorsehair%2Bring%2Bby%2Bnannasalmi%2Bbijoux%2Ben%2Bcrin%2Bde%2Bcheval.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.horsehairjewellerynannasalmi.com/product-page/carus" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Ring Carus</a></div><br /><br /></div><div>There is a reason for that:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>High edges protect the ribbon against abrasion and hits</li><li>The rings are slightly convex inside which makes them very comfortable to wear</li></ul><b><div><b><br /></b></div>Stones </b><br /><br />There are golden items with cubic zirconias or other gemstones on the market.

<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: arial;">Stephanie wanted to give something special for her good friend, Lucy, for her 16th birthday. This is what she wrote us:</span></div>
<div class="western">

<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: arial;">I have loved your bracelets since I bought one made from my own horse over ten years ago! </span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: arial;">Since receiving the bracelet we have found out Jester sadly had to be put to sleep as he was taken with grass sickness :(.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">Love, Stephanie"</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-variant: normal;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span lang="fi"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: normal;">Many
of us cut some hair of our horses main or tail to have a hair bundle
as a keepsake of our beloved equine company. Long tail hair can be
turned into a fine jewellery by nannasalmi, but did you know, that
your horse´s hair (or ashes) can be turned into a gemstone, a
cremation gemstone, too?</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm; text-align: left;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; font-variant: normal;"></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">What
is a cremation gemstone?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">Cremation
gemstones can be made of only a few grams of hair or a few hundred
grams of ashes. The result is a "memory diamond”.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span lang="fi"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
body or hair of any living creature contains ca. 18% carbon, whilst
diamonds are pure carbon. To turn hair or ashes into a gemstone takes
some technology, whereas natural diamonds are minerals that form
underground over billions of years. </span></span></span></span></span></span>
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-variant: normal;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: black;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span lang="fi"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: normal;">In
the first stage of the process the biogenic material is chemically
prepared. The elements are obtained from the biogenic material in
question, be it ash or hair. Because these elements vary from horse

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Tail hair is beautiful material. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">This year Nanna made some Christmas decorations with horse hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">It´s easy to make your own, try!</span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">All you need is some tailhair, glass beads, glue and</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">ribbon of your choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">The diameter of the circle is 5 cm. For this size you would need</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">hair strands ca. 20 cm long. There are 35 hair strands.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Tip: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Pull hair off rather than cut. You can also collect hair strands when grooming</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">the tail. You will be surprised how small bundle 35 hair strands is!</span></div>
