Stick Horse Studios is located at Rocky Bottom Ranch outside of Dripping Springs, Texas. Clay artist Melodie Greider has been living, riding, hiking, swimming and small scale ranching in the incomparable Hill Country for 25 years. Her intimate knowledge of the land translates into lively murals and tiles, the personality and spirit of the hills and their inhabitants evident in every hand shaped and carved piece.

Melodie graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in 1980 and promptly went into business. She created a successful line of individually designed and produced dinner ware before turning her attention to tiles and murals. She is a member of the Artists of Dripping Springs and the local Chamber of Commerce.

Having suffered from equine dementia all her life, Melodie will attempt any activity related to horses. With her ranch hands, Roy (15) and Jordy (12) she is active in the local 4H horse club. Together with Paco, the wonderfully versatile Morgan, and Rooster, the bone-headed Appaloosa, they attend trail rides, play days, and cattle drives as often as possible and not nearly enough.

Studio and Ranch Security is managed by Buddy Beagle with back up from Rex, Caymend, Tiny and Crickette. Mouse patrol at the barn is provided by Mit Kitty. Studio breakage and general aggravation is handled by the Itty Bitty Kitty, who is exceptionally good at it.

All of the above is benevolently sponsored by Ben, without whom none of it would be possible. Never a dull moment in 25 years. Thanks.

Happy Trails, Y'all!
