Hey guys!
So, as most of you know, I work for Mary.
For those of you who don't know, Mary Claeys has her USDF gold medal and trains/rides horses in all sorts of levels of Dressage. She also breeds PRE  Andalusians and Dutch Warmbloods.
Here is her Andalusian stallion, Fiero:

Well, back in..May or so, Melosa, one of Mary's broodmares, was in foal to
Fiero. She passed away six hours after giving birth to a bay colt,
having foaled three fillies in the previous years. This colt was named
Matador, a.k.a. Matty, and was bottle fed for three days until the nurse
mare came in. Around that time was when I was asked to start doing more
work with the foals in my spare time, to get them socialized and
whatnot. The more time I spent with Matty, the more I fell in love with
him, but as you know, horses are expensive, especially well-bred
Andalusians. So I was content to just spend time with them, and never
really got any hopes up about taking any of the four babies home.

Lately, I hadn't been able to spend just a ton of time with them, due
to a busy schedule with classes and family issues and just little things
overall, not to mention I still have my horse Fred that I'm currently
training with and competing on. Recently, I revisited Matty and the
others, and was offered a deal by Mary. Generally, most of her babies
run around fifteen/twenty-grand. If I was able to scramble the money
together, she would be willing to shave the price down on Matty to
something manageable for me. Still expensive, of course, but much
cheaper than the original price. And honestly, having nearly watched
this guy grow up, and be with him from the near beginning, I can't say
no.

SO! This is where this little story has a point to it all. I
will be opening up a PayPal account within the next few days, if not
tomorrow, and I want to know what you guys would like to see. I'll be
doing commissions, custom character sales, selling products, sorts of
things in those regards. Let me know if there's any specific kind of
commission type you want to see, some certain products, or even some
sort of design to stick on the product! Daisy would look good on a
coffee mug, wouldn't you agree? ;)
Even if you can't buy anything, suggest things you would be interested in! That is a big help overall. Giving feedback is one of the best ways to help out!
