About the Rings Cavaletti and Cavaletti Star

Cavaletti, also spelled cavalletti,  cavaletto (Italian: "little horse") are small jumps, 

originally made of wood, used for basic horse training. Most consist of rails that 

are about 4 inches (10 cm) wide, and 10 feet (3.0 m) long. The rails are inserted 

into fixed standards, usually made in an "X" shape, that commonly are designed 

to be placed at one of three preset heights ranging from a few inches off the 

ground to a maximum of about 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm).

"Do you have something for show jumpers?"

When thinking of what special we could offer the show jumpers, Nanna went through all the jumps thinking, how to stylize a motive inspired by them and turn it into a great looking, but not so obvious embellishment for a ring that suit both, men and women.

At last, but not least, she thought about cavaletti. Everybody has started with them, and everybody, no matter if a hobby rider or a world champion, keeps working with them from time to time.

With the stones the ring is called Cavaletti Star.

Woven ribbon 'flash'

This beautiful ring is available in solid silver (with Swarovskie cb`s), in solid gold 

or white gold (with diamonds).

In the pictures you can clearly see how high edges protect ribbon from hits and 

mechanical stress, metal plate shelters ribbon on palm side.

Inside surface is convex, that makes the ring more comfortable to wear.

First Riding Lesson

It´s always a bit exciting. Christmas, I mean!
You never know what Santa will bring you... Sometimes he brings you

a riding lesson!

Nanna´s granddaughter, Neela, got lucky by the Christmas time: 

she received a voucher of two riding lessons. 

                                  Clean white snow

In Finland most riding schools and stables are located in the countryside.

It´s good: no cars, peaceful, forests and fields to ride. A bit negative part is,

that you always need a car (or/and a chauffeur in some cases) to get there.

"Hello, there and welcome!"

Happy horses

Like  a real horseman she started her lesson from the scratch;

grooming and saddling are very important skills and help to

understand more about the horses and riding. It´s not just a holiday!

"OMG! She´s big! Or actually - quite small and sweet..."

"I just hope she is going to stand still!"

"Good girl... I have to stand on my toes! A lot to brush..."

"So many straps and buckles... How will anyone ever learn this?

I don´t need any help, I´m strong enough!"

"The last ones... Here we go..."

It was a pretty cold February afternoon, but the back of the horse

was warm and there were plenty of other things to think about than

cold and frost.

"I want to do this again!"

She was smiling all the way home...

At the moment Neela is staying Spain and continues her new hobby there.

When the summer comes, she will ride in Finland again. 

Bracelet Neela is named after this sweet girl.
