A Family Run Business
EquinArt Creations is a family owned and operated business. Jeanne Rudmann
Grunert and her husband John started EquinArt Creations in 2004. Jeanne, a model
horse collector since 1974, wrote a business plan while studying marketing at New
York University and based her ideas on her longtime passion: model horses. With
John's experience in economics and finance, and Jeanne's passion for marketing and
all-things horses, a new business was born.
The Grunerts also own and operate two additional ventures. Seven Oaks Consulting
is Jeanne's consulting business, providing marketing, writing and editing services for
companies around the world. John primarily researches, writes and works on Seven
Oaks Farm, the Grunert's 17 acre farm in Virginia. There are never enough hours in
the day when operating a farm, especially since the family is new to farming and
learning a lot by trial and error and the advice of farming neighbors. Shadow, the
family's shelter-rescue German Shepherd, holds the honorary title of "Chief Security
Officer" for Seven Oaks and ensures safety - and sense of humor! - in each workday.
Robespierre, our little kitten, keeps us all laughing too and is our "Customer Service"
agent.
In addition to their businesses, Jeanne Grunert is active in St. Theresa's Catholic
Church of Farmville and enjoys singing with the choir. Jeanne & Shadow are training
to obtain their Delta Society certification in 2008 to begin friendly pet-therapy visits with
the elderly in the community.

Life at Seven Oaks Farm
In October 2007, the Grunerts realized their dream of moving from the city - New York
City and its environs to be exact - to rural south central Virginia. They own Seven Oaks
Farm, a 17 acre hobby farm complete with rolling hills, turkey vultures, and a creek.
Improvements to the land have already begun with the addition of a large fruit orchard,
perennial gardens, organic vegetable gardens, and plans for raising heritage breed
chickens and other livestock. Horses will come soon.
