ABOUT THE COMPANY Farriers Greeting Cards was started by Gina Keesling in 1986 (in a very small way) to provide helpful promotional materials for her farrier husband Rob.
ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER It's written by Gina Keesling, and emailed to subscribers a few times a month, depending on how often I have something to share. Watch for special sales, interesting stories, uplifting quotes and maybe some personal stuff. Let me know if you like it, and if you don't. We aim to please.

Thinking of Marrying a Horsewoman? READ THIS FIRST * Easy to Locate: She's either off on the horse or out in the barn. * Upholds the double standard: Smooches with the most bewhiskered beast, but recoils when a man needs a shave. * Owns one vacuum cleaner - and operates it exclusively in the barn. * A social butterfly: Provided another horsey woman gives the party. Falls asleep in her soup at all other functions. * Economy minded: Won't waste money on permanents, facials, or manicures. * A culinary perfectionist: Checks every section of hay for mold but doesn't blink when she petrifies dinner in the microwave. * Occasionally amorous: But never leaves lipstick on your collar, at worst, slight trace of chapstick. * Easy to outfit: No need for embarrassing visits to uncomfortable little boutiques. She can find all she wears at the local tack or farm store. * Features a selective sense of smell: Bitterly complains about the sticky-sweet cigar smoke of others while remaining totally oblivious to the almost visible aroma of her barn boots drying next to the heater. * Unmistakable in a bathing suit: She's the one whose tan starts at the nose, ends at the neck, and picks up again at the wrists * A dedicated club woman: as long as the words "horse" or "riding" appear in its name. (Guilty) * Has your leisure at heart: Eliminates grass cutting by turning every square inch of lawn into pasture which, in turn, converts itself into mud. * A master at multiplication: She starts with one horse, adds a companion, and if it's a mare, she breeds it. * Keeps an eagle eye on the budget: Easily justifies spending six hundred dollars on tack, but croaks when you blow ten on bowling. * An engaging conversationalist: Can rattle on endlessly about training or breeding. * Socially aware: Knows that formal occasions call for clean boots. * A moving force in the family: House by house, she'll get you to move closer to horse country (and farther away from your job.) * Easy to please: A new wheelbarrow, custom boots, or even a folding hoof pick will win her heart forever. * Sentimental fool: Displays a minimum of six 8x10 color photos of the horse in the house and carries a crumpled snapshot of you (taken before you were married) somewhere in the bottom of her purse. * Shows her affection in unusual ways: If she pats you on the neck and says, "You're a good boy," believe it or not, she loves you. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
