Just a quick email to let you know that the costume arrived last week and I was able to collect it last Friday from the Post Office.
It is just stunning! Particularly with the quality of how it is made - lots of wonderful sewing not glueing!! (other than the crystals of course). It is a really well made and beautiful costume and not stiff and heavy.
Thank you so much.

Stefanie,
OH MY GOSH the costume arrived, actually I went to the post office to pick it up, this morning. It is beautiful. The workmanship is impeccable not that I thought it wouldn't be, but it met and exceeded my expectations. I can't wait until I try it on Helios. Will keep you updated on his first show with it. Thanks for the instructions on care, and cleaning too.
Will be in touch,
Debbie
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you that the costume you made for my daughter for Christmas last year FINALLY made it's debut yesterday at the DONSHA all breed show in Ashland, OH on her grey gelding.
They placed FIRST!! out of 5 (under a 2006 US Nationals Judge!) and she said she received sooo many compliments on it! I don't think I have ever seen her have such a good time showing in all these years!
Thank you so much,
Lori W.
Finally found the time to let you know that the costume arrived. Your packing skills are unsurpassed! I couldn't believe you could get all that "stuff' in a box that size - until I unpacked it. I am very impressed with the quality and workmanship. Having made several costumes of my own - I can appreciate the time and skill it takes to make a costume. The sturdiness and attention to detail are wonderful. The crystals really do add that subtle but touch of flash that will make us stand out in the sea of sequins and metallic tinsel I see at our shows. I think this costume has a more "authentic" flair if one can even say that in today's costume classes. Come Spring, warm temperatures, and far less horse hair flying around, I promise to send a picture.
Thanks, Linda

"Fabulous costume! Very well made and constructed. Upon arrival, the actual costume exceeded my expectations. Buy with confidence knowing you are receiving a National Quality costume without the National price tag. "

"Wow, the costume is absolutely stunning! The quality is outstanding! It fits great on the horse. The robe is beautiful, fits the rider well and it drapes great over the horse."

"Dear Stefanie,
I'm sorry I haven't written sooner to let you know that I received the burgundy and cream costume. It is absolutely beautiful and looks even more beautiful on the horse and my daughter. The workmanship is outstanding! "
Thank you again,

"We received the costume yesterday. I must say that I was very impressed with it. The pictures don't do justice for the real thing. We are very happy with the quality and design of the costume. We will be showing our Stallion next month in Native Costume, we will forward pictures of the show to you. We cant thank you enough for the wonderful costume and service that you provided us. We will refer all of our clients to you that are looking for costumes."
Thanks again,
Debra and Dominic
"I received the costume today and it's absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to use it. I will send you a picture of it on my horse as soon as I can. I've also left feedback for you."
Thanks so much!
