Breyerfest Preview 2011

I love the older apps, like what was seen back in the 50s and 60s.......

Finally an update! I plan to put finished pictures up in a few days before I leave, but thought I would put some teaser pictures up. No eyeballs yet or mapping, but at least you can see what I have been up to. First the walking pony in red roan sabino

The sooty palomino morgan reiner

A grulla paint Roxy remade to a gently backing mare, performance her she comes!

The dapply grey tobiano Pintabian Flash/weather girl combo

My jumping mule, the color is so unusual I had to put a picture of the real mule up so no one thought I was too crazy....not a word Shannon

The andalusian colt in bay going grey, isn't he a doll??

All of these except the mule are sales pieces, ever since I did the coon jumping mule I wanted a preformance mule for myself, so that little piece of "donkey" is staying with me...giggle

More in the next few days, I also have a few proven show horses that will be offer for sale as well
If you want em, come to the Artisan Hall in just a few days!

Eureka!

I finally figured out what happened to Shannon..low level radiation exposure! It explains everything, so for you nerds out there this latest friendship tax payment is named
"Polonium 210"


Now this guy may have to stay with me. I did the coon jumping mule and other jumping models before, but not one that is jumping a smaller fence in stride. I wanted to be able to use him in everything, not just english classes or the more restrictive coon jump (they jump from almost a standstill so they take off in a more crouched position)

Can you guess what he is?

Moosearabi

In a couple of weeks the crazies up north are holding a show that I can't go to, sigh, so I wanted to send a piece of Illinois up there to help them out. This is "Moosearabi" a CM weather girl with a stretched out head and redone tail in a soft, fawn buckskin. Contact Bobbie at
bobbieluvscorgis@gmail.com for details

Shannon is going, and she rubs it in on a daily basis.........One of these days I want to go up there. I went to the Yukon Territory years ago and it was beautiful, I have never seen the part of Canada where the show is.

My real horses??? Well I was hoping to get Lumi going under saddle, but this is what my arena has looked like for the past 6 weeks. Yes, those are out pet ducks and thats marsh grass growing where I should be riding.

Here is another Breyerfest sneak peak. I am really trying to do different things...this is an American Walking Pony gelding, can you guess what he was made from?

Won't this be a fun guy to show????? He is a trad scale pony if that helps!

Breyerfest Preview 2011

This year I am really trying to come up with some unique remakes for Breyerfest. One thing I have often noticed is that there are few morgans out there, and the morgan customs that are out there are almost all the english, show ring type. So I thought I would do a western working morgan for a change. Morgans do very well in open competition and many of the working lines look very similar to the same lines the produce the best cutting and working western QHs. In fact, years ago there was cross breeding between the two breeds and you can still see it in today's horses.


This remake is made from four different molds....any guesses? Using parts from different molds not only saves on time, but the finished remake is way lighter than if the mane and tail were sculpted entirely from scratch.

Okay, the mane is easy, Esprit, the tail is Huck Bey's upside down, a PAM head, and an alborozo body! The mane and forelock are away from the body so he turned out very tack friendly. If you look at models like the rose reiner, you can see both breeds have the same round outline. The western morgans will have a bit more cresty neck,dishy heads (but I have seem some baby doll head QHs that I would swear are part morgan or arab), and big morgan eyes.

Here are a couple of the real morgan's I used for reference. Won't this be a fun, different, morgan to show in performance?

People have asked about pre-purchasing the remakes I am doing for Breyerfest...I am still trying to figure out how to do this, I really want the artisan hall to be something special this year, but stay tuned I am still working on it!
