Christmas Season 2020

This year has been exceptional, we all know that, and it has effected everybody´s everyday life in one way or another.

Covid 19 has no other effect on our work, but the postal matters seem to run a bit slower than normally.

To ensure that your Christmas presents reach you in time, we advice you to act soon.

Hair can be sent by post as a package. It would be rather nice for us to receive the tracking code so we can follow the delivery and be sure it hasn´t got lost although it would take a bit longer than normally.

To be sure that the ready, valuable and most unique jewellery reaches you, we use courier service.

It is the most safe and reliable way to ship a delivery, especially during the Christmas season when there are a lot of packages travelling around the world. Courier service costs only 50 € (Europe), it´s rather cheap "insurance" for a safe delivery.

If you have any questions or wish to place an order, the easiest way is to send us an email:

Each jewellery has a story, a story of you and your horse.

Christmas Treats for Horses (and Dogs)

Christmas time is the time of joy, friendship, warmth, peace and abundance - all the things that pets enjoy as well, all year around! The horses or dogs might not have a glue what is going on, but for us, humans, Christmas time means more. 

Jenny Nystöm

Taking extra care of domestic animals, wild animals, even elves, has been included in the Finnish Christmas tradition. In general they have been treated by indulging them with better food and delicacy.

Banana treats

7.5 dl of whole wheat flour
4.5 dl of muesli
5 malted bananas
2 dl of water
4 tablespoons of muskots
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp honey

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cut the dough into a 5 mm plate and cut the dough into the shape of your desired biscuits. Bake at 170 ° C for 30-35 min.

                                              "Delicious and easy"

Rudolf Koivu

Oat treats

2.5 dl oat flakes
75 g margarine or butter
a small crumb of buljong cube
4 dl of hot, boiled water
2 dl low lactose milk powder
2 dl potato flour
1 beaten egg
7.5 dl graham flour

Make the broth and mix the oat flakes and margarine into the liquid. Allow the mixture to cool and mix in a mixture of milk powder and beaten egg. Mix the potato flakes with dense water and add them to the dough. Finally add little graham flour with good stirring and make the dough stiff. Cut the dough into a plate and cut into pieces with hamburger molds.
Bake at 175 ° C for about 50 min. Biscuits cure when cooled.

DIY Equestrian Christmas Decoration

Tail hair is beautiful material. 

This year Nanna made some Christmas decorations with horse hair.

It´s easy to make your own, try!

All you need is some tailhair, glass beads, glue and

ribbon of your choice.

The diameter of the circle is 5 cm. For this size you would need

hair strands ca. 20 cm long. There are 35 hair strands.

Tip: 

Pull hair off rather than cut. You can also collect hair strands when grooming

the tail. You will be surprised how small bundle 35 hair strands is!

Thread the beads to hair strands and use a little drop of glue

to keep them in place.

                             "They sparkle beautifully in the

                                                         candle light!"

Tie hair strands together with the chosen ribbon.

Use the colors of your Christmas on the beads and ribbons.

Have a lovely Christmas time!

Merry Christmas

Christmas time is the darkest time of the year and here

in Finland it´s especially dark. Between the sun rising and setting

it´s only five hours - even in the southern Finland. In Lapland

the sun doesn´t rise at all for a few months.

If the day is cloudy, you don´t get that much light during that time either.

Like all over the world, we have the tradition

of lighting our surroundings up. Candles and light chains indoors and 

outside are lit already in November.

This birch branch brings light and works as a Christmas tree as well.
