Laura’s Story

A Side Gig becomes a Mainstay

"It makes me so proud when my designs are able to make people smile."

When I started as a riding instructor, clipping horses was just part of the job. At the time, my boss asked if I could clip some simple designs into the horses. That started my work as a groomer. Over time, my designs have grown much more intricate and decorative. They have become a mainstay in my business, in addition to the riding instruction. It makes me so proud when my designs are able to make people smile. Start simple with a tool and animal that you trust. From there, increase the difficulty.
