Jewelry Benefits Foundation
Jewelry designer Jane Heart has introduced a collection of silver and gold jewelry
depicting 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat, one of the most beloved Thoroughbred
racehorses in American history. "I am honored to have the license to design jewelry
for Secretariat," Heart said. "He followed his heart with his tremendous passion
for running and has been an inspiration to me to continue to follow my own heart.
May these designs of Secretariat also inspire you to pursue your dreams and reach
the highest level of your ability." Each hand-crafted piece is engraved with "Secretariat"
on the back and includes a blue and white checkered commemorative card with the
inscription "Keep The Big Red Flame Burning," a reference to the champion's nickname,
Big Red. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the jewelry benefits the Secretariat
Foundation, a nonprofit organization begun by the horse's owner, Penny Chenery.
The foundation supports Thoroughbred horse charities, including retirement and rehabilitation
facilities and veterinary research for laminitis, the disease from which Secretariat
succumbed in 1989. The jewelry is available online at www.janeheart.com,

Jane Heart announces the introduction of her original, licensed jewelry designs
of the incomparable 1973 Triple Crown Winner Secretariat. America's champion, fondly
known as Big Red, became a hero and a symbol for hope. His legacy as the greatest
racehorse of all time has endured to this day. From the cover of Time magazine to
his very own United States postal stamp, Secretariat's image has been an inspiration
to those that have followed his career and continue to love him even now.
"I am honored to have the license to design jewelry for Secretariat. He, indeed,
followed his heart with his tremendous passion for running and has been an inspiration
to me to continue to follow my own heart. Being an extra in the movie was indeed
a thrill, and later seeing it to experience the drive and confidence of Mrs. Chenery
achieving her dreams was a memorable event for me. The voice of Chic Anderson from
CBS television said it all...."he is running like a tremendous machine!" May these
designs of Secretariat also inspire you to pursue your dreams and reach the highest
level of your ability."
All Jane Heart Secretariat designs are made and hand finished in Arizona. The styles
include a large and small pendant, charm, charm bracelet, brooch, cuff links, small
lapel pin, and earrings. They are available in sterling silver and gold. Each piece

The Key To A Joyful Life....
Follow Your Heart Following my heart has been a recurrent theme through out my life...sometimes
following and sometimes not, but trying to stay on the path of what brings me joy
in where I want to be and what I want to do. The heart symbol is such a profound
one and the heart itself does literally guide us on our journey if we tap into its
potential. The key symbol is also wonderful as a key can unlock doors...even doors
to the heart...and brings us new opportunities in all areas of our lives. So what
is more perfect than a heart key to tie the two together! And those of us who love
horses have the horse head in addition. Horse represents power to use our talents
and skills, freedom, travel, and strength to name just a few of this wonderful animal's
symbols. Putting the three together, whether on the large key or the circle pendant,
make for a pendant with incredible meaning. Select your favorite for yourself or
a gift for someone special. Other horse heads not shown may also be available.

BARBARO JEWELRY
Jane Heart announces the introduction of her original, licensed jewelry designs
of the charismatic race horse Barbaro. Through his valiant fight to recover from
a broken leg and then laminitis, he touched our hearts with his courage and incredible
spirit. In cooperation with Gretchen Jackson, Jane has adapted a favorite picture
of Barbaro, looking out of his stall the morning of the Preakness, to an inspirational
heart design. "Our powerful heart center is our guide in this world to help us on
our path. It aligns us and helps us stay true to ourselves if we listen and follow
its messages. As we know, Barbaro had an incredible amount of heart and was destined
for greatness with his speed and love of racing. This design, whether we wear it
or just look at it, will be an inspirational reminder of the great heart of Barbaro
and give us hope and courage."
"Mrs. Jackson said Barbaro had a "way of looking, of knowing." Maybe he knew he
had a special mission that would have an impact on the future of the wellness of
all horses. From the establishment of many research funds, to legislation for the
protection of horses, Barbaro has produced a groundswell that is his legacy. His
name will endure forever, and record how he inspired many to make strides forward
that will help his fellow horses and those who
love and care for them. Barbaro has pointed the way for us to do the same - to follow
his lead and be of service and
enrich this world through worthy causes that need champions. He has shown us that
each of us has
a unique and special purpose, and that we can help others whether it be man or animals
in very important ways."
"We also learned other things from Barbaro that we can apply to our lives every
day. He inspired us in many ways, by first showing us how it feels to win when we
follow our hearts and our passion by developing our talents and strengths. He showed
us how to handle adversity with calmness, intelligence, a remarkable spirit, and
a strong will to live. Barbaro also brought us all together and proved that we are
all connected through the power of love."
"When Mrs. Jackson spoke about Barbaro, she hoped that "each of us might find a
certain path that interests us" in regard to horses. Mine was to find a cause to
support that would benefit horses and their owners through my jewelry designs. When
I read about the Laminitis Fund, I immediately knew that this was my direction.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each piece will go to the Fund for Laminitis
Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. I am truly
grateful that I was inspired by Barbaro to design this jewelry, and honored that
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson granted me the license. I thank you, in advance, for your support
of the Laminitis Fund through the purchase of these keepsake pieces. May these designs
of Barbaro inspire you on your life's journey, and his heart, spirit, and guidance
be with you always. With his heart...he inspires ours."
The first Jane Heart designs of Barbaro are a heart brooch or tie tack pin that
retail for $210 and the heart pendant on a snake chain for $235 in sterling silver.
This design will also be available in gold. Other styles and Limited Edition pieces
will be announced as they are developed.
All Jane Heart designs are made and hand finished in Arizona. Each piece has the
Barbaro trademark stamp on the back above the Jane Heart logo stamp and arrives
in a gift box with a commemorative card with the message..."With his heart...he
inspires ours." The designs are available to order on line at www.janeheart.com
with delivery by April 10, 2008. Retail locations will be announced at a later date.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each piece will go to the Fund for Laminitis
Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.

CHARM NECKLACE
Jane Heart introduces the charm necklace with her equestrian designs to show the
close bond between horse and rider. Jane's interpretation of this popular trend
includes four symbols to help guide you on your path to achieving your heart's
desires and lifetime goals. "Today in this world, it is more important than ever
that we envision our path in life and fulfill our own personal dreams while developing
and using our talents to be of service and bring love, joy, and peace to the world.
Each of us has something to contribute and many of us, including myself, have not
yet reached our potential. Besides being fun to wear, the necklace with your favorite
horse head is a reminder to help you make the daily decisions of life that are true
for you."
"The charms hang from a circle which symbolizes the opening of pathways and wholeness.
Through the heart we align ourselves, as it gives us a sense of unity and the ability
to see our direction clearly. The horse stands for freedom, power for sharing our
gifts and talents, and travel. Turquoise is a stone for healing, protection, strength,
and support. It also opens the heart for giving and receiving, and the throat for
communication and creativity. The megaphone shape is perfect for calling to you
everything you need to help you travel on your path to following your dreams and
reaching your potential."
"The beauty of this necklace is that each person can personalize the message of
the charms to make it more meaningful for them. For example, the circle is an "O"
ring and can also be the winner's circle or a metered circle. A variety of horse
heads are available including several different breeds."
Jane is currently writing her first book titled Follow Your Heart - Follow your Dreams.
It will be a composite of the story of her path and the stories of others who have
followed their heart and have or are in the process of realizing their dreams. If
you have a life path story that you would like Jane to consider including that would
be an inspiration to others, please mail to:
