| The point of this resource is to help other equine businesses thrive. Times are tough, and it is not very often that people reach out to help one another network and do business. Saucy Friends is just that; a place for links to people who offer unique product. Email saucypiaffe@saucypiaffe.com if you would like your business posted. Please do not pursue adding your link if you are not able to back up your listing with excellent customer service and sound product; here at Saucy, quality and customer service is extremely important and we value this in the people we promote. The proper care of horses and client respect is a pre-requisite for being listed on this site. We also ask that if you see your listing here, you include a reciprocal link. Please note that if the service listed below is of a classified nature (forum for buying/selling horses), we urge you to always proceed with caution. Find an expert to help you out. Hopefully you can find someone trustworthy here! Many Thanks, The Saucy Piaffe Team |

The Equine and Animal
Art of Debbie Goldring |
As an artist I strive to portray every animal I draw with the life and emotion they possess, by showing their unique character. It is important to me to capture each subject’s individual expression. I want the viewer to connect. I begin every piece with excitement, to see the painting evolve from a simple sketch on paper, to something that is alive with personality. Debbie is responsible for the beautiful banner at the top of this page. Website |
