I noticed we had a lot of new followers over this past week - WELCOME!! 🥳🤩
I thought this would be a great opportunity for a bit of an introduction. I'm Lyn, and this 👇 is Trip, the black horse behind Black Horse!
When I opted to finally take the leap and make things official to share my flowers and other goodies, I needed a name. I wanted something that represented me, as well as my values, and I didn't want it to sound like any other flower farm out there.
I jotted down a number of words: flowers, florals, blooms, leather, lace, roots, rooted, clover, clover root, then it hit me... Black Horse. That was it, no more thinking, and I knew the exact image I wanted to use as inspiration for my logo and branding (ah hem 👇)
You see, this black horse (excuse me while I grab a tissue), has been in my life for 22 years, longer than I've been married, longer than I've had my trusty ol' dog, longer than I've been out of high school. She's the epitome of grit, but also of grace. Our relationship is unique, but amazing, and I feel we've accomplished all we have together because we're mirror images of each other. Have we driven each other bananas? ABSOLUTELY 😳 But have we understood each other to the core? You betcha.
Integrity, determination, understanding, competitiveness, and maybe just a liiiiitle patience? Well, looking back, maybe a lot of patience. We didn't come on quick, we took the long road learning together and made countless mistakes, but when we did earn that first win, we never looked back. She since taught my family similar lessons, and even raised a few babies of her own to help others achieve their dreams too. She now is the queen of our pastures, and will be until she decides otherwise.
See that's what Black Horse is, built with integrity, determination, patience, and a whole lot of heart. Sure we're still learning, but once we get it, 🔥. We'll pour grit and passion into everything we do, and will try to have grace for ourselves along the way.
Thank you for being here and supporting this adventure. Small business don't exist without people like you, and I'm grateful you're along for the ride. 🐎💐🖤
