Horse Pins
$50.00
I don’t typically wear pins, so I have no idea where exactly these two came from. I do know why they continued to live in my jewelry box: they reminded me of my uncle and aunt’s horses, River Chief and Starfire.
Starfire was the first horse I learned to ride, when we visited my aunt and uncle after the river next to their house flooded. Starfire was shorter than Chief, so she was the better choice for a single-digits-child to learn to ride bareback on. Walking was fairly easy; I took a tumble one of the first times we tried trotting. I learned to ride Chief with a western saddle several years later (and several inches taller). The saddle was absolutely necessary for learning to canter and gallop safely!
