It all started with a pair of spurs. Eliz started smithing in 2016 when she wanted a set of custom spurs. She had access to the materials and supplies she needed to make them herself, so she did (she has never used said spurs).

Eliz is a self-proclaimed aficionado of horses, cattle, silver, and turquoise. Her dog, Pancho Villa, can be found under her bench. Gunshy 00, is her 2009 model AQHA stallion, who she thinks hung the moon.
