Hello dear friends! We have resumed much of our production process. Now
delivery is slower (+ several days). Because the russian invasion disrupted the
postal service. Thank you all for the support, help and sympathy you give to us
and all the indomitable Ukrainian people! It motivates us a lot and gives us
strength. We really appreciate it.

The horse's symbolism is extremely complicated. The horse symbolizes
intelligence, wisdom, valor, light, dynamic power, motoriness, speed of
thought, the flow of time. This is a typical symbol of fertility, courage and
powerful power. Also, this image is an ancient symbol of the cyclical
development of the world of phenomena. In the Germanic-Scandinavian mythology
the horse is dedicated to Odin, who traveled by the eighth-legged mare named
Sleipnir.
