Quiet Strength
Always there for me
Quiet Strength represents the powerful relationship that a girl can develop with her horse. A horse is strength and freedom – a strong and calming presence. Our horse Diamond was an important part of our family for so many years. The time spent with him, for each of us, took us beyond ourselves and let us enjoy just being happy in the present.
Plaques can be hung on the wall or on a shelf using the Plaque Stand.

We are opening a SpiritHorse licensed facility, which will be helping special needs children reach their full potential through interaction with horses. SpiritHorse JC Ranch is licensed, and three of us are trained and now preparing for opening one of these centers to meet the needs of special needs kids, those abused and at risk, as well as helping the wounded warriors in south central Missouri.
http://SpiritHorsetherapy.com is the website of our parent company in Corinth, Texas. Charles Fletcher has developed methods with 27 steps, something new in the industry that is making even more of a difference. And it is bringing hope to many disabled children and adults. One in 110 are diagnosed with autism now. It is 1 in 83 in Missouri. His methods using horses have brought 23 severely autistic children half-way to a “non-autistic” rating in only six months. Amazing! This will be published in one of the Journal of Alternative Therapies in the May or June 2011 edition! At SpiritHorse this past year, the 70th child spoke their first word, the 49th child took their first steps to their pony, and the 35th child sat up for the first time at the last session in Corinth. It is amazing work which he is training others to do and duplicating at centers like ours, which is the 38th SpiritHorse center worldwide!
I appreciate the beauty of my Willow Tree collection that depicts our life and look forward to seeing and having more in the future! I didn't know about the one with the horse as our stores don't have the full collection! I can hardly wait to get it!! I also love giving them as gifts. I always get a wonderful response! Susan, Thank you for sharing your gift so I can give wonderful gifts! ;)

I love horses and Willow Tree products. One of my boarder's horses died last spring and was cremated. I purchased the Quiet Moments Treasure Box for her horse's ashes. It didn't hold all of the ashes but it definitely held enough that she can keep her horse's ashes close to her beside.
I also purchase the Quiet Moments Plaques for gifts for my boarders on their special occasions. Wonderful.
Thank you for creating such beautiful pieces of art.

I always wanted a horse, ever since I was little. A friend of the family had a beautiful white Arabian gelding. I had a special connection with him, and for many years I wished I could buy him. I was lucky enough to buy him four years ago. Whenever I had a bad day he was always there for me to cry on--he was amazing. He fell very ill suddenly last year and I had to put him down. It was the worst day of my life. I miss him so much, and this plaque just reminds me of those times he was there for me.

I'm absolutely in love with Horses, and would love to see a full Figurine of a girl and her horse. I would love and cherish that so much.
This Plaque perfectly portrays the love between human and animals in general.

When I was a teen my mother became very ill; after several years of struggle she passed when I was 19. It was a horrible time for all of us. But my horse was there for me. She seemed to know I needed her. You could have not made a more wonderful depiction of how I still feel about that relationship all these decades later. Indeed, my horse was my angel. Thank you so much.
