Our Tack Model

Lexi, (Sexi Lexi) is a 2004 Branded 13.1hh Mustang Mare. This girl was a feed lot find that was hours away from being shipped to slaughter. Purchased in August 2017, she came into our lives after the loss of another horse that was part of our family for over 14 years! She had very big hoof prints to fill and did it beautifully, and helped fill a hole we feared would never heal. She came with a title and a note, and in it described the most terrifying, unruly horse that had almost sealed her fate if we had not taken a chance. Thank goodness we did, because that note that came with her must have been switched with another horse, she is nothing but kind and sweet and so willing to please.

Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing all that Hoofbeat Designs has to offer!
